Broncos come to terms with Tebow
Football Betting Lines
07/29/2010 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos agreed to terms with quarterback Tim Tebow, a first-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, on Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but The Denver Post reports it is a five- year deal worth between $11.5 million and $12 million, with more than $8 million guaranteed.
The contract agreement allows Tebow to join other Broncos rookies and early- reporting veterans in practice. Denver's training camp officially starts Sunday with the first full-team session.
Denver selected Tebow with the 25th overall pick in the draft after he completed a stellar collegiate career at Florida. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow helped the Gators win two national championships in his four years at the school.
Tebow is the only player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a season, and he also holds the SEC mark for career touchdowns.
The 22-year-old helped Florida to a Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati this past season, throwing for 2,895 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also ran for 910 yards and 14 more scores on 217 attempts.

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.
