Rams' Jackson questionable for Sunday; Bulger expected to start

Football Betting Lines

11/28/2008 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami and quarterback Marc Bulger is expected to start after leaving last week's game with a concussion.

Jackson, still bothered by a thigh injury, was limited in practice for the third straight day on Friday, while Bulger had full participation for the second consecutive day.

Rams head coach Jim Haslett said Bulger is listed as probable and Jackson would likely be a game-time decision.

"I'll have to see how he feels and I thought he got better as the week went on," said Haslett about his star running back. "I'll talk to him today and we'll make a decision by the game."

Jackson was initially hurt in an October 19 game against Dallas when he ran for 160 yards and three touchdowns. He sat out a week and returned for the November 2 game against Arizona, but was limited in that contest and has missed the last three games.

Despite playing in only seven games, Jackson leads the team with 525 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Bulger was hurt last week early in the first quarter when he took a shot to the head on a sack by Chicago defensive tackle Adewale Ogunleye. He had completed each of his two passes for 11 yards before being replaced by veteran Trent Green.

For the season, Bulger has completed 58.2 percent of his passes for 1,679 yards with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Offensive tackle Orlando Pace is also probable with a knee injury.

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.
