Burress' trial delayed until September
Football Betting Lines
06/15/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress reportedly had his weapons possession case delayed until September on Monday.
The New York Post stated that the adjournment signalled the end of a possible plea deal for the former Giants star, who shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun on November 29.
Burress, 31, has pleaded not guilty to his crimes and is free on $100,000 bail. He was released by the team in April. It is possible that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could hand down a suspension from football based on the league's personal conduct policy, but no decision has been made yet.
The Michigan State product played in only 10 games for New York last season, registering 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns. In the 2007 campaign, he posted 70 receptions, 1,025 yards receiving and 12 scores, also catching the game-winning touchdown pass in that season's Super Bowl.
For his career, Burress, in nine seasons with Pittsburgh and New York, has caught 505 passes for 7,845 yards and 55 touchdowns.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
