Panthers' Smith breaks arm again

Football Betting Lines

06/21/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith broke his left arm for the second time in six months.

The Panthers said Smith suffered his latest injury while playing flag football this past weekend and has already undergone surgery to have a plate inserted to help the healing process.

"Steve has talked to me and feels terrible about it," said Panthers general manager Marty Hurney in a statement on the team's website. "Now his focus is on the rehabilitating process and getting back as quickly as he can."

Smith broke a bone in his left arm last December, taking a helmet to the arm while making a touchdown reception in a 41-9 victory over the Giants in the team's next-to-last game of the season.

The Charlotte Observer reported that the latest break is near the same area as the previous one.

Smith will miss the start of Carolina's training camp, which begins July 28, but he could be ready for the team's season-opener on September 12 against the Giants.

Last year, Smith finished with team bests of 65 receptions, 982 yards and seven touchdowns. The catches and yards were his lowest since an injury- shortened 2004 campaign.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
