Texans QB Schaub expected to return Sunday

Football Betting Lines

12/02/2008 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who has missed the last four contests due to a knee injury, is expected to return as the starter for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Schaub has been out since injuring the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a 28-21 loss at Minnesota on November 2.

"Well, I think if everything goes okay this week then expectations are that he goes back into his role as our starter," said Texans coach Gary Kubiak. "But let's wait and see how he works this week. He did come in today and work out and that went good. Obviously, we'll pick his reps up on Wednesday but all indications are that he should be fine."

Sage Rosenfels, who replaced Schaub in the second half of that Vikings game, has started the last four games. That includes a 30-17 win over Jacksonville on Monday night.

Schaub has completed 67.8 percent of his passes this season for 1,762 yards with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions, for a quarterback rating of 91.0.

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.
