Chiefs sign second round picks

Football Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Chiefs have signed second round draft choices Dexter McCluster and Javier Arenas.

Terms of the deals were not disclosed.

McCluster was the 36th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Mississippi, where he finished second on the school's all-time all-purpose yardage list (4,089) behind only Deuce McAllister.

He left as the seventh leading rusher in Rebels' history with 1,955 yards, including 1,169 last season, which was also the second highest single season total in school history.

In 2009, he became the first player in Southeastern Conference history to run for 1,000 yards and collect 500 yards (520) receiving in the same season.

Arenas was the 50th overall selection in the draft and was a key member of Alabama's national championship team in 2009.

After the Tide had scored to increase their lead to 31-21 with two minutes to go in the BCS Championship game, Arenas intercepted Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert which led to the final touchdown in the 37-21 victory.

Last season, Arenas made 65 tackles, intercepted five passes and returned 32 punts for 493 yards and one touchdown that made him the SEC's all-time leader in punt return scores.

The Chiefs also signed tight end Leroy Banks.

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.
