Johnson stays with HawksBasketball Betting Lines07/08/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks have officially re-signed unrestricted free agent guard Joe Johnson. As per team team policy, no terms of the deal were announced. However, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted Arn Tellem, the agent for Johnson, saying that the deal will pay the four-time All-Star $123.7 million over six years. Johnson became the first Hawks player to start in the All-Star game last season since Dikembe Mutombo in 1997-98 and finished the campaign averaging 21.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 76 games. The 29-year-old Johnson led the Hawks to 53 wins last season and a first-round playoff victory over Milwaukee in seven games before Atlanta bowed to Orlando in four games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. "Although I explored several different opportunities this offseason, Atlanta was the place I wanted to be," said Johnson. "I truly appreciate the commitment shown by the Hawks and the team's ownership, and their continued efforts to improve the team. I look forward to my teammates and I trying to reach our ultimate goal together -- competing for a championship for the city of Atlanta." He signed with the Hawks as a free agent in 2005 and over nine seasons with Boston, Phoenix and Atlanta, he has averaged 17.6 points, 4.2 boards and 4.5 assists per game.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow 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. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
