Buffalo RB Lynch loses license in hit-and-run case

Buffalo, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Buffalo running back Marshawn Lynch's guilty
plea to his involvement in a May 31 hit-and-run accident was accepted on
Friday. Lynch lost his driver's license and was fined the maximum of $100.
In the incident, Lynch's 2008 Porsche Cayenne struck a pedestrian in downtown
Buffalo and then fled the scene. The woman was left with minor injuries.
On Friday, Lynch finally admitted that he was the driver of the
vehicle, which was impounded after being found by police. But, Lynch said
that at the time of the accident, he did not believe he struck anyone with his
SUV.
"When I was making a left turn from Chippewa (Street) onto Delaware Avenue a
woman came into the road," Lynch said in a statement through his attorney.
"This woman was dancing and spinning around in the crosswalk. I slowed down
for her and when she went by I proceeded down Delaware Avenue. I was not
speeding and at no time struck the woman who was dancing and spinning. I also
never heard, saw or felt anything else that would lead me to believe that I
had struck anyone else or anything else at that time."
However, on Friday Lynch admitted that it appeared his car had struck the
woman, Kimberly Shpeley.
"At this time, I would like to put this matter behind everyone involved and
focus on the future," Lynch said.
Lynch, a first-round draft pick of the Bills in 2007, rushed for 1,115 yards
and seven touchdowns in his rookie season.
"My greatest concerns and well wishes are of course for Ms. Shpeley," Lynch
said. "However, I also wish to apologize to my teammates, the entire Buffalo Bills organization and the Buffalo fans for this unfortunate accident."

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game
How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2007 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2007 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
