Hockey Betting Lines
07/02/2009 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - On the same day they lost forward Marian Gaborik to free agency, the Minnesota Wild made a big splash by coming to terms with right wing Martin Havlat on a six-year contract.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports the deal is worth $30 million, which is the richest total contract in team history.
The first day of free agency saw Gaborik, who had spent his entire seven-year career with the Wild, go to the New York Rangers in a five-year package.
The Wild then signed the 28-year-old Havlat away from the Blackhawks. Last season, he led Chicago with a career-high 77 points (29 goals, 48 assists), while skating in a career-best 81 games.
"We are excited to add the speed and scoring of Martin Havlat to our lineup," said Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher. "He is a terrific two-way player."
The 6-foot-2 native of Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic, has recorded 169 goals and 227 assists in eight seasons with Ottawa and Chicago.

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.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
