Atlanta Falcons 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATE: July 29th

SITE: Atlanta Falcons Training Facility, Flowery Branch, GA

CAMP OBJECTIVES: The Falcons don't have a lot of high-profile position battles as they enter camp, but the look of the team in the trenches heading into September could have much to say about their chances. Along the offensive line, the team needs either Justin Blalock or rookie Mike Johnson (Alabama) to emerge as someone who can help Michael Turner and the running game. On the defensive line, a battle is brewing at one end between the overachieving Kroy Biermann and disappointing former first-rounder Jamaal Anderson. On the interior, Peria Jerry is a question mark coming off a knee injury, and could lose some of his reps to promising third-rounder Corey Peters (Kentucky). First-round rookie Sean Weatherspoon (Missouri) must develop quickly at one of the outside linebacker positions, and big-money cornerback Dunta Robinson (ex-Texans) needs to make an immediate impact for a secondary that struggled during key stretches of the 2009 season. Opposite Robinson, coordinator Brian VanGorder needs to see continued maturation from the slight but athletic Brent Grimes, and strong safety Erik Coleman will have to hold off William Moore.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 13 - vs. Kansas City, 8:00 PM Aug 19 - vs. New England, 8:00 PM Aug 27 - at Miami, 7:00 PM Sep 2 - at Jacksonville, 7:30 PM

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
