09/04/2010 - Eden Prairie, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran wide receiver Javon Walker was among the players released by the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the 53-player NFL maximum.
Walker, who was signed in August after a hip injury sidelined star receiver Sidney Rice indefinitely, had performed well in preseason action. The former Green Bay Pro Bowler, who has previously spent time with the Raiders (2008-09), Broncos (2006-07) and Packers (2002-05), caught six passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns in two preseason games.
Also released were safety Colt Anderson, guard Thomas Austin, guard Adrian Battles, wide receiver Taye Biddle, wide receiver Freddie Brown, tackle Patrick Brown, tackle Chris Clark, fullback Ryan D'Imperio, wide receiver Marquis Hamilton, running back Ian Johnson, defensive tackle Tramaine Johnson, kicker Rhys Lloyd, tight end Garrett Mills, defensive end Mike Montgomery, wide receiver Logan Payne, tackle Drew Radovich, cornerback Marcus Sherels, linebacker Nate Triplett and defensive back DeAndre Wright.
Notables among that group include Johnson, the former Boise State star; Lloyd, who was attempting to make the team as a kickoff specialist; and Montgomery, a five-year NFL veteran who played in 56 games with the Packers since 2005.
On Friday night, Minnesota dealt quarterback Sage Rosenfels and running back Darius Reynaud to the New York Giants.
The Vikings will begin their regular season on Thursday, when they travel to meet the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints to kick off the 2010 NFL season.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
