Ravens rookie Kindle suffers head injury

Football Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Sergio Kindle suffered injuries to his head after it is believed he fell down two flights of stairs at a private residence in Austin, Texas.

The Ravens released a statement Sunday saying Kindle is stable and being treated at University Medical Center Brackenridge.

"Members of our medical staff, including Bill Tessendorf and Dr. Andy Tucker, have spoken with doctors in Texas. We understand Sergio is stable at this time and that he is being tested and observed," said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.

Kindle, who was the Ravens' first overall pick in the second round in April's draft, was to report to McDaniel College with Baltimore's other rookies on Monday when the team's training camp starts. He has yet to sign with the club.

Taken with the 43rd pick out of Texas, Kindle was the first player ever to be named as a finalist for both the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker and Hendricks Award as the nation's top defensive end in 2009 after splitting time at both positions for the Longhorns.

Kindle recorded 70 tackles, 22 of those for a loss, 5 1/2 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles as a senior.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
