Saints' Shockey, Colston back at practice
Football Betting Lines
10/09/2008 -
New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey and
star wide receiver Marques Colston appear close to returning to the playing
field as each participated in practice during the week.
Shockey, who underwent sports hernia surgery after Week 3, was to miss three-
to-six weeks with the injury but took limited reps on Wednesday before sitting
out practice on Thursday.
The off-season acquisition from the New York Giants has recorded 16 catches
for 151 yards in New Orleans' first three games this season.
Colston, meanwhile, hasn't played since suffering a torn ligament in his left
thumb in the season opener. The Hofstra product has been limited at practice
on both Wednesday and Thursday, his first action since the injury occurred.
Both Shockey and Colston's status for Sunday against the Raiders remains
uncertain.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at Sportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
