Football Betting Lines
06/12/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green has reportedly decided to retire after 15 seasons in the NFL.
FOXSports.com is saying on its website that Green told them he has decided to retire from the sport after talking things over with his family.
Green began his career with San Diego in 1993 and earned a Super Bowl ring with St. Louis in 2000, but he played his best seasons in Kansas City and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and 2005 with the team.
Starting in 2003, he threw for over 4,000 yards the next three seasons, but suffered a severe concussion halfway through the 2006 season and had another concussion the next season with Miami.
He signed on with St. Louis in 2008 and appeared in three games with one start.
Over his 15 seasons, he posted a record of 56-57 and threw for 27,475 yards along with 162 touchdowns and 114 interceptions. He had a completion percentage of 60.6 percent and added six touchdowns on the ground.
In addition to San Diego, St. Louis, Kansas City and Miami, he also spent four seasons with Washington.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
