Bills place Mitchell on IR, sign Ayodele

Football Betting Lines

09/10/2010 - Orchard Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Buffalo Bills have placed linebacker Kawika Mitchell on injured reserve because of a foot injury and signed veteran linebacker Akin Ayodele to fill the roster spot.

Mitchell was hurt in practice on Wednesday. He missed the final 11 games of last season with a torn quadriceps muscle.

The 30-year-old South Florida product spent the past two seasons with the Bills after also playing for Kansas City and the New York Giants. He had 82 tackles and four sacks in his first season with Buffalo, then added 27 tackles in five games last year.

Mitchell, who has started 86 of his 96 career games, was listed as the backup to Andra Davis on the team's depth chart for this season.

Ayodele is an eight-year veteran who was cut by Denver last month. He spent the past two seasons with Miami and in 2009 totaled 70 tackles with a forced fumble in 16 games, 15 of those starts. He was signed by the Broncos back in April.

The durable 30-year-old has never missed a game during the course of his eight seasons in the league. In 128 career games, including 104 starts, Ayodele has amassed 630 tackles, 9 1/2 sacks, seven interceptions and 10 forced fumbles for the Dolphins, Cowboys and Jaguars.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
