Gould, Bears rally past Lions

Football Betting Lines

12/24/2006 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robbie Gould kicked four field goals, including three in the final quarter, as the Chicago Bears rallied for a 26-21 win over the Detroit Lions.

Rex Grossman completed 20-of-36 passes for 197 yards and was intercepted once for the NFC North Champion Bears (13-2), who have already clinched home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Brian Griese relieved Grossman in the fourth quarter and engineered the go-ahead drive, finishing the game 6-of-9 for 51 yards.

The Bears, who won their fourth straight game, held on at the end when Detroit wide receiver Mike Williams couldn't come up with a catch in the end zone on the final play.

Jon Kitna connected on 27-of-45 passes for 283 yards with three TDs for the Lions (2-13), who have lost seven in a row, the longest skid since they dropped the final eight games of the 2002 campaign.

Gould's 36-yard field goal brought the Bears within 21-20 with 12:21 left in the game. The 13-play, 58-yard drive was kept alive by a third-down roughing- the-passer penalty on Cleveland Pinkney, who knocked into Grossman when the QB was out of bounds.

The Bears went ahead following a Detroit punt, as Griese engineered a 12-play, 72-yard jaunt, with Gould connecting from 39 yards away with 5:13 left for a 23-21 margin. Griese hit Mark Bradley with a key third-down pass.

Mark Anderson then sacked Kitna, causing a fumble and Adewale Ogunleye pounced on the ball at the Detroit 32 for the game's only turnover. Gould nailed a 44- yarder with 2:50 left.

Kitna led the Lions to the Chicago 22, but on the game's final play, his pass into the back of the end zone fell incomplete as a leaping Williams couldn't come up with the ball.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
