Former Alcorn State QB Bridge lands at South Alabama

NCAA Football Betting Lines

01/18/2012 - Mobile, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Some might have considered quarterback Brandon Bridge to be a FBS-level talent when he played on the FCS level at Alcorn State.

The Canadian import will be getting an opportunity to play at the higher level.

Bridge, who left the Alcorn State program in October to pursue a transfer, will play for the University of South Alabama program, which is leaving the FCS for the FBS, first as an independent in 2012 and then as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

As a true freshman at Alcorn State in 2010, the Toronto, Ontario, native thrived against Southwestern Athletic Conference competition, completing 150- of-291 pass attempts for 2,086 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while rushing for 601 yards and eight touchdowns.

Bridge was benched by first-year Alcorn State head coach Melvin Spears Jr. this past season and he left the program after playing in five games. He was 49 of 98 for 632 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing for 121 yards and two touchdowns.

Bridge also considered a transfer to Mississippi State or Northern Arizona.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
