Football Betting Lines

09/16/2007 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Garcia threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the New Orleans Saints, 31-14, in a divisional matchup at Raymond James Stadium.

Garcia completed 10-of-16 passes and Joey Galloway had four receptions for 135 yards with two touchdowns for the Buccaneers (1-1), who looked like a completely different team following their season-opening 20-6 setback at Seattle.

Cadillac Williams, who was questionable for the game with bruised ribs, rushed for 61 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 carries for Tampa Bay. On the other side of the ball linebacker Barrett Ruud also had another huge game, with 11 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

Drew Brees had 260 yards passing, completing 26-of-44 attempts with one touchdown and one interception for New Orleans (0-2), which has had a nightmare start to its 2007 season. The club also endured a humbling 41-10 setback against Indianapolis in Week 1.

Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister each had 10 carries and combined for just 76 yards, while Mike Karney rushed three times for 13 yards and a TD. Marques Colston led the receiving corps with eight catches for 70 yards and a score.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
