Bills' Mitchell considered doubtful for opener

Football Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Orchard Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Buffalo Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell missed practice Thursday and appears unlikely to play in Sunday's opener against the Miami Dolphins.

Bills head coach Chan Gailey said Mitchell hurt his foot in practice on Wednesday and was set to undergo tests Thursday.

"I think we're under further review, so to speak," Gailey said about the status for Mitchell. "We're still evaluating what's going on. Since he didn't work today and we're giving him more tests, you'd have to put him more toward the doubtful category, but I don't have to do that until [Friday]."

Mitchell, about to start his eighth NFL season and third with the Bills, is listed as the backup to Andra Davis on the team's depth chart. He started five games last year before a knee injury cut his season short.

The 30-year-old South Florida product had 82 tackles and four sacks in his first season with the Bills and added 27 tackles last year. He has also played for Kansas City and the New York Giants, starting 86 of his 96 career games.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
