Eli Manning will not play Saturday
Football Betting Lines
08/18/2010 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh after leaving Monday's contest against the Jets with a cut on his forehead that required 12 stitches to close.
The Newark Star-Ledger reported late Wednesday that Giants head coach Tom Coughlin ruled the starter out following practice because the stitches he received from a pair of blows on Monday night will impair his ability to wear his helmet.
Manning was at practice in Albany after undergoing tests Tuesday to determine the possibility of a concussion.
"I physically feel fine," Manning was quoted as saying on the Giants' website earlier in the day. "I threw some balls today, running around, I know what's going on and I'm all there so it's just a matter of getting the helmet on."
Manning was hurt in the second quarter of Monday's game when he collided with running back Brandon Jacobs and took a hard hit from Jets linebacker Calvin Pace. The hit from behind by Pace dislodged Manning's helmet and the quarterback's forehead hit the facemask of Jets safety Jim Leonhard, causing a three-inch gash.
In limited action on Monday, the seventh-year pro completed 4-of-8 passes for 77 yards in the 31-16 Giants victory.

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.
