New deal in place for Steelers' Tomlin
Football Betting Lines
07/13/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has reportedly received a contract extension.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday that Tomlin has agreed to a three-year deal that will take him through the 2014 season. His previous contract, the paper said, had a year and an option remaining.
Tomlin has a record of 31-17 in three seasons as Steelers coach and led the storied franchise to its sixth Super Bowl title after the 2008 campaign. The team finished 9-7 last year and missed the playoffs, as a five-game losing streak on the heels of a 6-2 start did them in.
The 38-year-old Tomlin took over after Bill Cowher resigned following the 2006 season. He is just the third coach for the Steelers since 1969, following Chuck Noll's brilliant 23-year tenure and Cowher's successful 15-year run.

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.
