Callahan in as William & Mary quarterback

NCAA Football Betting Lines

08/30/2010 - Williamsburg, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - William & Mary football coach Jimmye Laycock has named fifth-year senior Mike Callahan as the fourth-ranked Tribe's starting quarterback for Saturday's season opener at Massachusetts.

Callahan earned the starting job over redshirt freshman Brent Caprio and highly regarded North Carolina transfer Mike Paulus.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Callahan has yet to play for William & Mary, missing last season because of injury.

"Mike Callahan, fifth-year senior, has been in our program for a long time, he really understands our offense and understands our thinking and reasons for doing things," Laycock said. "He's done a good job in preseason as far as learning our offense and making good decisions, so Mike will get the start."

Laycock did not name a backup quarterback, adding that, if one is needed, Caprio or Paulus would enter the game depending on the situation.

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.
