Miami Dolphins 2007 Draft Preview

Football Betting Lines

04/02/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The million dollar question for the Dolphins involves the quarterback position. Joey Harrington was released, Daunte Culpepper cannot realistically be viewed as a reliable option, and Dan Marino does not appear ready to come out of retirement. If there is a year for rookie head coach Cam Cameron to select a quarterback, this is the one, though expecting Notre Dame's Brady Quinn to be available at No. 9 is probably wishful thinking. The Fins might have to trade up in order to get their signal-caller of the future. There are other major needs, most notably along an offensive line that saw five players either released or allowed to walk via free agency during the offseason. After wideout/return man Wes Welker, tight end Randy McMichael, and running backs Sammy Morris and Travis Minor all defected, some skill position vacancies need to be filled as well. Defense will probably be less of a priority, which is dangerous given the fact that that unit's three most recognizable players - end Jason Taylor and linebackers Zach Thomas and Joey Porter - are all on the wrong side of 30.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
