Boldin misses practice Wednesday

Football Betting Lines

01/07/2009 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin missed practice Wednesday with a strained hamstring, leaving his status for Saturday's playoff game against Carolina in limbo.

Boldin, who suffered the injury this past Saturday during Arizona's win over Atlanta in an NFC Wild Card-round contest, said he would still be prepared to play if he's able, according to a story on the team's website. So far, though, he's taking it day-by-day.

Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday he was hopeful Boldin could play Saturday, when the Cardinals travel to Charlotte for an NFC Divisional playoff matchup with the Carolina Panthers. However, he said that when dealing with hamstring injuries, "you just never know."

Boldin had already missed the final two regular-season contests because of a shoulder injury, and because the ailment kept Boldin from doing much conditioning, Whisenhunt said the receiver's injury wasn't a total surprise. He added the team would monitor Bolding during the week to see how he progresses.

Boldin had 89 receptions for 1,038 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games during the regular season, earning his third career Pro Bowl selection.

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.
