Titans Acquires Tebow Down QB ON Letterman

Football Betting Lines

"Of course I watched it," she said of last week's OT playoff win over Pittsburgh, in which a 20-yard crossing pattern-turned-80-yard touchdown landed the QB on Letterman's Top 10 a few days later. "It doesn't matter who they're playing, I'll pay attention if he's there."

 

"What can I tell you, he's beautiful," she said, with a laugh. "My fiance knows. If Tim ever gets my number, we're probably going to delay the wedding a while."

 

Though it was worn this year by anonymous freshman cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, the blue-and-orange No. 15 made famous over Tebow's four Florida seasons remains a hot ticket in myriad sports shops and department stores across Gainesville, not to mention en masse in the Swamp on game days.

 

Outside the stadium, just an arm's length from fellow Gator legends Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel, the bronze statue of Tebow unveiled last spring draws an overwhelming majority of pre-game photography traffic from fans - both home and visiting.

 

Par for the course, says local sales executive Drew Jasinski.

 

"I tell my wife all the time it is like watching my little brother play every Sunday."

 

Their hero's next chance at a miracle comes Saturday night in Foxborough, where most people are convinced he'll need exactly that to help the Broncos defeat their top-seeded opponents in the AFC playoffs - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

 

"I like 15, but 12's (Brady) pretty good." he said, admitting Tebow's pass to Demaryius Thomas against Pittsburgh last week had him "just shakin' my head."

 

Of course, the true believers will point out the Steelers were nine-point picks last week.

 

"If he wins, that'll be great. Because I'll to watch him play for another week," she said. "But if they lose, it won't be so bad. If he comes back to Gainesville, I'll be happy to give him a hug."

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
