Cincinnati extends Jones for three years
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/24/2012 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Head football coach Butch Jones received
a three-year contract extension from Cincinnati on Tuesday.
The extension runs through the 2017 season.
"I have tremendous faith in Coach Jones and his ability to lead our young men
on the football field, in the classroom and in the community," athletic
director Whit Babcock said. "I appreciate his loyalty to the University of
Cincinnati and we look forward to great things in future seasons."
Jones took over for Brian Kelly in 2010 after he left to become the head coach
of Notre Dame. Jones had big shoes to fill as Kelly led the Bearcats to back-
to-back Big East titles and BCS Bowl appearances from 2008-2009.
Jones guided Cincinnati to just four wins in his first year, but followed it
up with a 10-win season in 2011 where the Bearcats won a share of the Big East
title and defeated Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl.
"I'm very grateful of the support shown from UC President Dr. Gregory
Williams, the UC Board of Trustees and director of athletics Whit Babcock,"
Jones said. "This a commitment to our staff and to the football program as a
whole. It's another illustration of the tremendous support our administration
as we continue to work on a daily basis to build a college football program of
national relevance."
This isn't the first time Jones has replaced Kelly as head football coach of a
FBS program, having taken over at Central Michigan after Kelly left for the
Cincinnati position in 2007.
In Jones' three years at Central Michigan, the Chippewas went 27-13, winning
MAC Championships in 2007 and 2009.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Wagering
