Packers retain OT Clifton

Football Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Green Bay, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Green Bay Packers have re-signed offensive tackle Chad Clifton, keeping the stalwart lineman that has started for the team since 2000.

Terms were not released, but the deal was originally reported to be for three years and $20 million, with $7.5 million of that guaranteed.

"We are happy to be able to have Chad as a member of the Packers," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said. "He has been a valuable teammate and contributor to our team. We look forward to him continuing to work to help us build and prepare for a successful 2010 season."

Clifton has appeared in 143 games for the Packers since the team selected him out of Tennessee in the second round of the 2000 NFL draft. All but five of those games have been starts.

The 33-year-old missed four games in 2009 due to an ankle injury. He has still missed just six regular season games since 2003 and has started at least nine games in each of his 10 NFL seasons.

The Redskins reportedly worked hard to try and lure away Clifton, who visited with Washington on Friday.

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.
