Western Illinois makes change in football schedule

NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Macomb, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Western Illinois's football program will host the University of Indianapolis instead of Hampton on Sept. 8, director of athletics Dr. Tim Van Alstine said Friday.

The game against Hampton was rescheduled to Aug. 29, 2013.

The Sept. 8 game will be the first meeting between Western Illinois and Division II Indianapolis, which was 7-4 last season.

"Scheduling for any sport is never easy. The current agreement allows us to keep our six-game schedule at Hanson Field this fall, and allows us to secure one of the two home games we needed to schedule for 2013," Van Alstine said. "Ideally we wanted to schedule a Division I opponent, but it was more important for our program to keep that a home game. We agreed to help out Hampton this fall. However, our contract with Hampton still stipulates it must pay us a buyout if for some reason they decide to back out in the future."

The Leathernecks' season opener is against Butler on Aug. 30 at Hanson Field.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
