Illinois' Sanni lost for season with Achilles injury

NCAA Football Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - Champaign, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Illinois safety Supo Sanni will be lost for the 2010 season after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Illini head coach Ron Zook made the announcement on Thursday, revealing that Sanni, who was projected to be one of the starters at the position, sustained the injury during Wednesday's practice.

He will undergo surgery to correct the problem later Thursday.

"Supo is a great young man who was on track for an outstanding season," said Zook. "He was really coming into his own and I was very excited about seeing him play this year. He has a redshirt available, so he'll still have two years of eligibility once he returns in 2011."

Trulon Henry and Travon Bellamy are slated to be the starters at safety, while Justin Green will be moved from running back to cornerback. In addition, Zook is expected to give wideout Steve Hull a chance at safety.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
