Eagles give QB Kolb one-year extension

Football Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with quarterback Kevin Kolb on a one-year contract extension on Thursday. Financial terms were not announced.

"We're happy to have Kevin under contract for the next two seasons," said Eagles head coach Andy Reid. "When given the chance, Kevin has proven to have good command of this offense and we're looking forward to having him operate as the number one quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles"

Kolb, a second round pick in the 2007 draft, spent the first three years of his career behind Donovan McNabb, who was traded to Washington on April 4. With McNabb's injury issues last season, Kolb stepped in and became the first player in NFL history to pass for at least 300 yards in his first two league starts.

The 25-year-old Kolb has played in 12 games during his NFL career, including five in 2009. He has completed 79-of-130 passes for 885 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions over his career.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
