Ravens acquire WR Boldin from Arizona for picks

Football Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Ravens have added the big- name receiver they have long been after, acquiring wide receiver Anquan Boldin from Arizona.

The Ravens sent their 2010 third- and fourth-round picks to Arizona while also getting the Cardinals' fifth-round pick in the upcoming draft.

ESPN is also reporting that Boldin also immediately inked a three-year extension worth $25 million. He was entering the last year of his contract in 2010.

"Anquan is a player who makes the tough catches, and he is outstanding getting yards after catches," said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome. "He will also help the running game with his blocking skills. He's a very tough competitor and, with the way he plays with passion, he'll fit right in with the foundation we have for our team."

Boldin, 29, had long been in a contract dispute with the Cardinals, as he has produced at least 1,000 receiving yards in five of his seven seasons with the club. Teamed with Larry Fitzgerald, Boldin was half of one of the most productive wide receiver tandems in the NFL -- one that helped lead the team to the Super Bowl following the 2008 season.

"The Ravens just got better," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. "Anquan is a significant addition for us. He fits the personality of our team with the hard-nosed, physical way he plays. We love the way he competes. Our fans will enjoy watching him compete, and his teammates will be excited to have him with us."

In 2009, Boldin caught 84 passes for 1,024 yards and four touchdowns for the Cardinals.

The trade comes on the heels of the team's signing of recently suspended wide receiver Donte' Stallworth. Stallworth, who missed the entire 2009 season after being involved in the wake of a DUI manslaughter charge, was released by the Browns following his reinstatement last month. He signed a one-year contract with Baltimore.

In addition, the team offered restricted free agent wide receiver Mark Clayton a second-round tender, while last year's leading receiver, Derrick Mason, is currently an unrestricted free agent.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
