Jacobs, Bradshaw help Giants run over Ravens

Football Betting Lines

11/16/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw powered a Giants rushing attack that piled up 207 yards on the vaunted Ravens run defense, as New York kept rolling with a 30-10 pounding of Baltimore.

Jacobs gained 73 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns on the ground, while Bradshaw gained 96 yards on nine carries for the Giants (9-1), who won their fifth straight after their lone loss of the season, at Cleveland on October 13.

Eli Manning completed 13-of-23 passes for 153 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and Aaron Ross returned a tipped pass 50 yards for a touchdown for New York.

Joe Flacco completed 20-of-33 passes for 164 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions for the Ravens (6-4), who had won four straight. Derrick Mason had seven catches for 82 yards, but it was his drop that led to Ross' interception in the third quarter.

With the loss the Ravens fell out of a first-place tie in the AFC North with the Steelers. Pittsburgh hosted San Diego on Sunday.

After being pushed up and down the field in the first half, the Ravens climbed back into the game in the third quarter. Flacco led Baltimore on a 13-play, 79-yard drive, which he finished with a 10-yard scoring pass to LeRon McClain. The touchdown cut the Giants lead to 20-10 with 4:26 left in the third.

The Ravens defense held, and Flacco and Co. took the field looking to pull within one score of the Giants. A miscue by Mason allowed Ross and the Giants to regain the momentum, though.

On 2nd-and-5 at the Baltimore 47, Flacco threw a short pass to his left to Mason, who bobbled the ball up in the air. Ross stepped in for the interception, and ran it back 50 yards for the backbreaking score, giving the Giants a 27-10 lead with 14 seconds left in the third quarter.

A 77-yard run by Bradshaw early in the fourth quarter set up a 19-yard Lawrence Tynes field goal, and the Giants took a commanding 20-point lead with 12:02 to play.

The Ravens defense entered Sunday leading the NFL in rushing defense, having allowed just 65.4 yards per game on the ground this season, and just one rushing touchdown. New York surpassed those numbers in the first half.

The Giants came out and imposed their will on the Ravens, building a 20-0 lead with their powerful running game. Jacobs bounced off would-be tacklers and gained 36 yards on New York's second offensive play, and burst into the end zone from one yard out to cap that drive and put the Giants on top.

The Ravens answered by driving to the Giants 13, but Matt Stover's 32-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Fred Robbins. The ball was kicked by Giants defenders all the way back to the Baltimore 33.

Manning was picked off by Fabian Washington two plays later, but an offsides penalty on Justin Bannan negated the pick. Four plays later Jacobs dove in for another one-yard touchdown run. A bobbled snap prevented Tynes from kicking the extra point, and New York led 13-0 with 59 seconds left in the first.

The Giants pounded out a 12-play, 90-yard drive in the second quarter, capped by a one-yard TD pass from Manning to Darcy Johnson for a 20-0 New York lead with 7:14 left in the half.

Stover's 38-yard field goal got the Ravens on the board, but they still trailed 20-3 at the half. The Giants had a chance for more points at the end of the second quarter, but on 1st-and-10 at the Baltimore 18, Manning was picked off by Ray Lewis at the six-yard-line.

Game Notes

Stover set the NFL record for consecutive PATs made with his extra point after McClain's touchdown in the third quarter. The PAT was Stover's 372nd consecutive, breaking a tie with Jason Elam and Jeff Wilkins...Giants kicker John Carney was inactive for the game. The league's oldest player at 44, Carney was signed to fill in for Tynes, who suffered a knee injury prior to the season. Tynes returned to action for the Giants last week, but just handled kickoffs.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup.
