Chargers' Jackson suspended three games
Football Betting Lines
07/13/2010 -
San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent
Jackson has been suspended three games by the NFL for violating the league's
substance abuse policy.
The Chargers sent out a press release posting saying Jackson will miss the
first three games of the regular season, meaning he won't be eligible to play
until the October 3 home contest against Arizona. Jackson is eligible to
participate in all preseason practices and games.
The 27-year-old Jackson has twice been convicted for driving under the
influence and pleaded guilty to the most recent charge in February.
Jackson is an unsigned restricted free agent and has been threatening to sit
out the first half of the season in an attempt to improve his bargaining
position with the team, though it appears the Chargers are not ready to meet
his contract demands.
He started all 15 games he played in last season, catching 68 passes for 1,167
yards and nine touchdowns to establish career-highs in each category.
During his five seasons in the league, all with San Diego, Jackson has made
198 grabs for 3,400 yards and 25 scores.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
