Football Betting Lines

12/20/2006 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Diego Chargers standout running back LaDainian Tomlinson, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney and Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman took home the weekly AFC honors for Week 15 of the 2006 campaign.

Offensively, Tomlinson continued his MVP-like year with a season-high 199 rushing yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns in San Diego's 20-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday night. The six-year veteran's first touchdown of 15 yards was his 180th point of the season, which put him ahead of Hall of Famer Paul Hornung for the NFL single-season point total. Tomlinson also leads the NFL this season with 1,626 rushing yards and has a record 31 TDs.

Freeney earned defensive honors by recording four tackles, three sacks and three forced fumbles in Indianapolis' 34-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. Freeney now has five career three-sack games and his 56.5 sacks in 77 career games puts him as the Colts' all-time leader in that category.

Moorman rounded up the award on the special teams side of the ball by punting seven times while pinning Miami inside it's own 20-yard line on four occasions in Buffalo's 21-0 win over the Dolphins. Moorman, who was named to his second straight Pro Bowl, also drew three fair catches with two returns for minus- one yard and another for just 12. The six-year veteran is second in the NFL with a 39.5 net punting average and second in punts inside the 20 with 29 kicks.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
