Oakland Raiders 2010 Training Camp Preview
Football Betting Lines
07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -
REPORT DATE: July 28th
SITE: Napa Valley Marriott, Napa Valley, CA
CAMP OBJECTIVES: Raiders fans are grateful that the JaMarcus Russell experiment is over, but that doesn't mean they'll have great patience if Jason Campbell fails to look crisp in his first training camp with the Silver and Black. They'll want to see him and the other Oakland QBs (Kyle Boller, Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Frye) connecting with a developing group of Raider wideouts, including 2009 first-rounder Darrius Heyward-Bey. If those targets don't develop, don't be surprised to see the Raiders court Terrell Owens. In the backfield, Darren McFadden and Michael Bush will compete to an extent, though there is probably room for both. Along a shaky offensive line, Mario Henderson and Langston Walker are penciled in as the starters, but intriguing rookies Jared Veldheer and Bruce Campbell will merit watching. On defense, the big battles are at end, where Jay Richardson, Matt Shaugnessy and rookie LaMarr Houston (Texas) are fighting for a starting job opposite Richard Seymour, and at free safety, where Michael Huff and Hiram Eugene are competing.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
