Air Force tabs Calhoun to replace DeBerry

NCAA Football Betting Lines

12/23/2006 - Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Air Force Academy hired Troy Calhoun as its new head football coach a little more than a week after Fisher DeBerry retired.

Calhoun, who is finishing his first season as the Houston Texans offensive coordinator/quarterback coach, returns to the school from where he graduated in 1989.

Head coach Gary Kubiak brought Calhoun with him from Denver when he became Houston's head coach last year.

Calhoun worked closely with Denver head coach Mike Shanahan in 2005 when he was assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West for the 10th time in franchise history.

The offense ranked fifth in the league with 360.4 yards per game, while the defense gave up only 85.2 yards per game on the ground, which ranked second in the NFL.

He became a well-rounded NFL coach with Denver, working as a defensive assistant (2003) before becoming the offensive assistant/special teams coach (2004).

While with the Broncos, Calhoun's teams made the playoffs each year, averaging 11 win per season.

Calhoun, who was the freshman quarterback for the 1985 Falcons that finished fifth in the polls and was 12-1, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Air Force from 1989-90.

In 1995 he was the quarterbacks coach for Ohio and then spent the next three years as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach before taking the same position as Wake Forest.

DeBerry, 68, had been at the academy for 27 seasons, spending the last 23 as head coach. His teams posted a 169-107-1 mark overall, recording 17 winning seasons, before falling upon tough times recently.

The Falcons, who went just 4-8 this year (3-5 Mountain West), have had three straight losing campaigns, marking the first time that has happened at Air Force since 1979-81.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
