Zimmer to remain with Bengals

Football Betting Lines

01/12/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will remain with the team after signing a contract on Tuesday.

Zimmer is believed to have signed a three-year contract. It had been reported that he was up for the same position in Washington under new coach Mike Shanahan.

In his two years as defensive coordinator, Zimmer has moved the Bengals from 27th in the league to fourth culminating in a six-game sweep of the division this season, an AFC North title and a 10-win season following a 4-11 campaign in 2008. Cincinnati allowed just seven offensive touchdowns within division play this year.

The Bengals season ended in a 24-14 loss to the New York Jets in Saturday's AFC Wild Card game.

Zimmer has been an NFL defensive coordinator for the past 10 seasons with previous stints in Dallas and Atlanta. He has 16 years of NFL coaching experience in all, breaking into the league with the Cowboys in 1994 as coach of the secondary.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
