Alabama's Ingram likely to miss Penn State game

NCAA Football Betting Lines

09/08/2010 - Tuscaloosa, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alabama junior running back Mark Ingram will likely miss Saturday's game against Penn State as he continues to recover from knee surgery performed last week.

Ingram was hurt during practice on August 30 and underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee the next day. He sat out the top-ranked Crimson Tide's opener against San Jose State and is more likely to make his season debut for Alabama's third game of the year at Duke on September 18.

"He's probably not going to play this week," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban on the SEC coaches' teleconference call Wednesday. "He hasn't had any swelling or any problems, so if he can continue to progress, I would say he's probably not going to be ready to play this week. He might be ready by the game, but he won't be able to practice enough to be ready. But I think after that, we have a chance to get him back if he continues to progress."

Despite the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner's absence, the Crimson Tide rolled to a 48-3 win over San Jose State. Sophomore Trent Richardson started in Ingram's place and ran for 66 yards with two touchdowns on 10 carries, while redshirt freshman Eddie Lacy finished with 111 yards and two scores on 13 attempts.

Ingram became Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner last year as a sophomore and helped the Crimson Tide to the national title. He set the school rushing record with 1,658 yards in 2009, while also catching 32 passes for 334 yards and totalling 20 touchdowns.

A unanimous First-Team All-American, Ingram became the first running back to capture the Heisman Trophy and national championship in the same season since Tony Dorsett with Pittsburgh in 1976.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
