Big South announces four-year extension with Stony Brook

NCAA Football Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Big South Conference announced on Wednesday a four-year extension of a football agreement with associate football member Stony Brook.

"Stony Brook has been an outstanding football member for the Big South Conference," said conference commissioner Kyle Kallander. "They have strong leadership, are a class act, and obviously are very competitive. We are thrilled to extend our relationship with the Seawolves."

Stony Brook, though based in Long Island, has been a factor in the conference the last two seasons, compiling an 8-3 record while finishing as runner-up in 2008 and as co-champion in 2009. Head coach Chuck Priore was named Big South coach of the year last season.

"Stony Brook is excited and honored to continue our relationship with the Big South Conference," said director of athletics Jim Fiore. "We have a tremendous amount of respect for the administrators, coaches and student-athletes who represent the conference."

Cornerstone members of the football conference include Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Virginia Military Institute and Charleston Southern.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
