November 9, 2008 JoeDuffy.net Administrator Leave a comment

Here is the NFL handicapper’s official injury report as used by fantasy football players and sports bettors alike compiled by OffshoreInsiders.com.

Colts-Steelers

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger starts, but star running back Willie Parker is out. Journeyman Mewelde Moore gets the call at RB.

The Colts though are without CB Kelvin Hayden, WR Roy Hall and T Daniel Muir.

Ravens-Texans

Texans starting QB Matt Schaub is out and Sage Rosenfels gets the start. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com says that it is not a major drop-off. RB Ahman Green is probable. Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy says that the two headed monster of Green and Steve Slaton is an example of a running game in which the “total is better than the sum of its parts.”

The Ravens have a banged up group of running backs: Willis McGahee, Ray Rice and Le’Ron McClain will all play.

Panthers-Raiders

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com says it’s highly debatable whether or not it’s good or bad news for Raiders backers, but starting QB JaMarcus Russell is very questionable. Andrew Walter may be the starter.

The bigger story is RB Darren McFadden is a game time decision.

Jaguars-Lions

Where you have gone Rusty Hilger? Detroit‘s post Jon Kitna starting QB Dan Orlovsky is out. Daunte Culpepper, just taken off the scrap heap, and Drew Stanton will probably both see snaps.

Jacksonville RB Fred Taylor will play.

Giants-Eagles

Eagles’ superstar RB Brian Westbrook will start.

Rams-Jets

Rams star RB Steven Jackson is likely out.

Seahawks-Dolphins

The top NFL handicapping service of all-time GodsTips has this game as one of their major plays. Week 10 NFL betting is one of the best yet say professional gamblers and handicappers.

Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck is out again as Seneca Wallace gets the start. WR Deion Branch is questionable, but the ‘Hawks will likely have the services of his fellow wideout Koren Robinson.

Titans-Bears

The Rex Grossman era resumes today for the Bears as starting QB Kyle Orton is out. Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com, is widely considered the top NFL expert in the world. He reminds us, “Grossman has usually done well in honeymoon periods” explaining he is referring to each time the former Gator is granted a new life.

Titans defenders Kyle Vanden Bosch and Keith Bullock are banged up.

Saints-Falcons

The Saints are without RB Reggie Bush as Deuce McAllister gets the start. All reports are that previously injured New Orleans TE Jeremy Shockey had his best week of practice.

Bills-Patriots

Buffalo will be minus four starters RG Brad Butler, DE Aaron Schobel, SS Donte Whitner and second leading WR Josh Reed. New England is without RB Lamont Jordan.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Titans aren’t getting as much press as the perfect Patriots were at this point last season, but 8-0 Tennessee will be looking to stay unbeaten when they play on the road against the 5-3 Bears at 1:00pm ET on Sunday. The oddsmakers have the Titans pegged as 3-point road favorites in this contest, with the total at 38.5 points. Tennessee is 7-0-1 ATS on the season, while Chicago is 4-3-1 versus the line through eight games.

The Packers and Vikings will play an all-NFC North matchup on Sunday at the Metrodome, with 4-4 (3-5 ATS) Minnesota the 2.5-point home favorite against 4-4 (4-3-1 ATS) Green Bay.

The first event is Sunday, with the drivers of NASCAR hitting Phoenix International Raceway for the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500. Edwards sits 106 points back of Jimmie Johnson in the driver standings, and he’s listed at 5/1 to win in Phoenix. Johnson, who has won the last two Sprint Cup races held at Phoenix, is next at 6/1 odds. Greg Biffle is third on the odds chart; he’s pegged at 8/1.

The Rest of the Schedule

There are eight games in the NBA on Sunday, including a trio of matinees: Toronto at Charlotte, Utah at New York, and Dallas at the Clippers.
