Carr lands in Carolina
Football Betting Lines
04/06/2007 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former No.1 overall pick David Carr has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the Carolina Panthers to serve as Jake Delhomme's backup.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Carr made the decision early Friday morning after returning from a two-day visit with the Seattle Seahawks.
Carr, the top pick in the 2002 NFL Draft out of Fresno State, was released by the Houston Texans last month after the club traded for Matt Schaub.
Houston went 24-56 in Carr's five seasons of service, and finished last in the AFC South in 2006 with a 6-10 mark.
Certainly, though, Carr does not shoulder all the blame for Houston's struggles. He was the first pick that the expansion franchise ever made, and was thrown under center immediately despite not having an offensive line to protect him. For both his rookie campaign and much of his career with the Texans, Carr faced immense pressure and was sacked at an alarming rate.
He still started 75 of a possible 80 games for Houston, completing 60 percent of his passes for 13,391 yards with 59 touchdowns and 65 interceptions.
His best year came in 2003, when he threw for 3,531 yards with 16 TDs and 14 picks for an 83.5 quarterback rating. Last year those numbers dipped to 2,767 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, although he did complete a career-best 68.3 percent of his throws.
Delhomme missed three games last season with an injured thumb, but still managed to throw for 2,805 yards with 17 touchdowns and 11 INTs. Last year's backup, Chris Weinke, was released last month.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
