Bears' Orton to start vs. Packers
Football Betting Lines
11/16/2008 - Green Bay, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton will start Sunday's game against Green Bay, despite an ankle injury that caused him to miss last week's loss to Tennessee.
Orton missed last Sunday's 21-14 loss to Tennessee after suffering the injury the previous week against Detroit, and was limited in practice this past week. It was initially thought the right ankle injury would keep him sidelined for up to a month.
Rex Grossman started last week against the Titans and threw for 173 yards with a touchdown and an interception, completing 20-of-37 passes in the 21-14 setback.
Orton started the first eight games for the Bears, who enter the weekend tied with Minnesota for first place in the NFC North at 5-4. He has completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 1,777 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
