Sportsbook Odds May Be Impacted By NFL'S Top Running Back
Author : Lynn Smith
If you were worried about the position of running back Chris Johnson but were going to make a bet at the sportsbook on the Titans, it is possible to relax.
Since the Tennessee Titans and Johnson arrived at an agreement that will take care of his contract for this season, the NFL's top rusher will be in camp. Johnson led the NFL last year in rushing and he is a player that makes a substantial difference against the sports book NFL probabilities.
Sports Books probabilities on Tennessee show them as 28-1 dark horse candidates to win the Super Bowl. Without Johnson those probabilities would be 40-1 or higher. The Tennessee Titans could not afford to be lacking him since he is one of the best competitors in the league. The Tennessee Titans are about to increase Johnson's salary for this season without redoing his contract. According to his original contract, Johnson would have made just about $500,000 this season but with the new arrangement he'll get about $2 million. Johnson was thinking about holding out if something wasn't done with his deal and the Tennessee Titans didn't have much choice but to do something. Sportsbook statistics indicated that Johnson made an NFL single-season record last season for most yards acquired from scrimmage.
Johnson is still intending to get a new contract worked out with the Tennessee Titans but for the time being this compromise was sufficient to get him to camp. The change in Johnson's current contract is in fact very simple as the squad is paying him $1.5 million in terms of incentive bonuses in 2010 rather than in 2012. Johnson isn't worried about 2012 though because he expects to have a new deal in place long before then.
Johnson was picked to the Pro Bowl as a starter in both of the seasons that he has played with the NFL and has become one of the NFL's leading competitors. In his second year with the NFL, he broke Marshall Faulk's record of total yards from scrimmage and became the 6th running back in NFL history to rush over 2,000 yards. He was a 24th in total draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft after he recorded the second fastest ever record for a running back at the NFL Scouting Combine. In 2009, he was named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year.
Tennessee was an outstanding squad in the football action just two years ago against sportsbook probabilities but last year they started 0-6. They still didn't make the playoffs, despite the fact that they turned things around and went 8-2 the rest of the way. Vince Young played nicely at quarterback and Johnson ripped through opposing defenses. Optimism in Tennessee is high again with Johnson set to go with a contract for this season. Whether Young can keep his head screwed on straight is always an problem but the Tennessee Titans can at least rest assured that Johnson will be carrying the offensive load in 2010. Tennessee could be worth a glance in preseason probabilities at the sportsbook now that the situation concerning Johnson has been settled.
