Chris Simms arrested

Football Betting Lines

07/01/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tennessee Titans quarterback Chris Simms was reportedly arrested early Thursday morning and charged with driving under the influence of marijuana.

The New York Post reported the 29-year-old Simms was driving his 2009 Mercedes Benz through a police checkpoint in Manhattan at about 1:35 a.m. when he was stopped. The newspaper reported Simms admitted to officers he had smoked earlier in the car and that he had red eyes, a flushed face and slurred speech.

Simms, the son of New York Giants 1987 Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms, spent 2009 with the Denver Broncos. He played in one game for Tennessee in 2008. Simms has not been a starter since playing in 11 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2005. The former Texas standout ruptured his spleen that year and has never been able to regain a starting position in the NFL. Last season with the Broncos, Simms appeared in three games -- one start -- and completed 5-of-17 passes for 23 yards with an interception.

In 23 career games in seven seasons with Denver, Tennessee and Tampa Bay, Simms has completed 297-of-511 pass attempts for 3,117 yards and 12 touchdowns with 18 interceptions.

Simms is the second Titans quarterback to face legal trouble in the last month as Vince Young was given a citation for assault connected with a fight at a Dallas strip club.

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.
