Football Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Dallas Cowboys signed wide receiver Miles Austin to a six-year contract extension on Thursday.

Though financial details of the agreement were not released, a report on the team's website stated the deal is worth $54 million.

Austin, who was scheduled to make $3.168 million under a one-year tender during the upcoming season, set career highs with 81 receptions for 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2009 on his way to being chosen for the Pro Bowl.

In Week 5 last season, he set a team record with 250 yards on 10 catches with two touchdowns in a 26-20 win over Kansas City in overtime.

He has appeared in 53 games and has 99 catches for 1,674 yards and 14 scores. Also, he has returned 89 kicks for an average of 24.1 yards.

The Cowboys open the 2010 regular season against Washington on Sunday night.

"This is great for me, but the most important thing is to get ready for the Redskins," Austin said. "That's still the No. 1 goal for me and this team. We want to win as many games as possible."

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
