Football Betting Lines
07/29/2010 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos agreed to terms with quarterback Tim Tebow, a first-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, on Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but The Denver Post reports it is a five- year deal worth between $11.5 million and $12 million, with more than $8 million guaranteed.
The contract agreement allows Tebow to join other Broncos rookies and early- reporting veterans in practice. Denver's training camp officially starts Sunday with the first full-team session.
Denver selected Tebow with the 25th overall pick in the draft after he completed a stellar collegiate career at Florida. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow helped the Gators win two national championships in his four years at the school.
Tebow is the only player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a season, and he also holds the SEC mark for career touchdowns.
The 22-year-old helped Florida to a Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati this past season, throwing for 2,895 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also ran for 910 yards and 14 more scores on 217 attempts.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
