Football Betting Lines
01/14/2012 - Foxboro, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denver Broncos safety Brian Dawkins will miss tonight's playoff game against the New England Patriots due to a neck injury.
The veteran has missed three of the team's last four games.
Broncos long snapper Lonie Paxton is also out for tonight's divisional playoff contest, as he reportedly is back home to take care of his wife. The Denver Post reports Meghan is having complications in her pregnancy with twins.
On Friday, the Broncos signed long-time San Diego Chargers' long-snapper David Binn.
The Broncos announced earlier in the week they'd be without wide receiver Eric Decker because of a sprained knee.
The Patriots will be without offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer due to a back and foot injuries.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
