England's Ferdinand hopes to stay healthy at Cup

Soccer Betting Lines

05/13/2010 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rio Ferdinand is keeping his fingers crossed that his injury problems are behind him as he prepares to captain England at the World Cup.

Ferdinand started just 12 Premier League games for Manchester United after a long-running battle with a back problem.

He returned for the final game of the season last weekend and is hoping to stay injury-free during England's World Cup campaign in South Africa.

Three Lions coach Fabio Capello has named a series of potential replacement center backs in his provisional 30-man squad.

John Terry, Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Matthew Upson and the recalled Jamie Carragher are all jostling for position ahead of the cut to 23 players on June 1.

"It has been a frustrating time but you've got to get on with it," said Ferdinand, who was handed the captain's armband following Terry's demotion in February.

"Hopefully now I'm coming out the back end of it and, fingers crossed, I will not get any more injuries."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
