Report: Patriots, Brady finalize extension
Football Betting Lines
09/09/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady have finalized a four-year contract extension worth about $19 million per season, according to a report from the Boston Herald.
The report, which cites a league source, said the deal will be announced Friday. Sports Illustrated first reported the news and said the deal is believed to provide Brady the largest annual salary in NFL history.
Brady, a three-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Pro Bowl selection, is entering the 2010 campaign in the final year of a contract for the first time in his 11-year NFL career. He turned 33 in August and is set to make $6.5 million for the 2010 season.
Brady was voted the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year by the Associated Press in 2009 after his successful return from a devastating left knee injury suffered in the first quarter of the 2008 season opener. He was coming off a record 2007 campaign in which the Patriots completed the NFL's first undefeated regular season in 35 years with Brady taking home league MVP honors.
New England finished 10-6 last year to win the AFC East, but was bounced from the playoffs in a wild card loss to the Ravens soon after.
For the season, Brady completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 4,398 yards with 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
