Football Betting Lines

11/14/2008 - Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

Orton, who missed last Sunday's game against Tennessee after suffering the injury the previous week against Detroit, has been limited in practice for the past three days. It was initially thought the right ankle injury would keep him sidelined for up to a month.

Rex Grossman started last week against the Titans and threw for 173 yards with a touchdown and an interception, completing 20-of-37 passes in the 21-14 setback.

Orton started the first eight games for the Bears, who enter the weekend tied with Minnesota for first place in the NFC North at 5-4. He has completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 1,777 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
