Brooks agrees to extension at Kentucky

NCAA Football Betting Lines

12/23/2006 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - University of Kentucky head football coach Rich Brooks has agreed to a contract extension.

Brooks is in his fourth season with Kentucky, which is headed to the Music City Bowl against Clemson on December 29.

The Wildcats finished the 2006 regular season at 7-5, a marked improvement from Brooks' first three seasons that produced a dismal record of 9-25. In 22 years as a collegiate head coach, the 65-year-old has a mark of 107-139-4.

Brooks is best known for turning around the Oregon program during his 18-year stint with the Ducks from 1977-94. He guided Oregon to four bowl games, including a Rose Bowl appearance in his final season.

A two-year stint in the NFL followed, as he led the St. Louis Rams to a record of 13-19. He was then the defensive coordinator for Atlanta from 1997-2000.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
