Football Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Raiders have signed offensive linemen Jared Veldheer and Bruce Campbell, two members of the team's 2010 draft class.

Veldheer, taken 69th overall in the third round, started 46 games at left tackle for Division II Hillsdale College where he was both a three-time All- Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection and three-time Offensive Lineman of the Year winner.

At 6-foot-8 and 315 pounds, Veldheer was voted an All-American last year as a senior.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Campbell was selected in the fourth round, 106th overall out of Maryland. He made himself eligible for the draft despite struggling through injuries as a junior in 2009. He started 17 of the 27 games he played in for the Terrapins at the tackle position.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
