Elon to open at UNC, play six at home
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/18/2012 - Elon, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Elon University football team will kick its 2012 season with a first-ever meeting against North Carolina and play six home games as part of an 11-game schedule announced Wednesday.
Elon's first three games will be against non-conference opponents, starting with the Sept. 1 opener in Chapel Hill. The game will mark the Phoenix's fifth contest against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent and its third against an ACC program.
Coach Jason Swepson's team will then host two straight games at Rhodes Stadium, Sept. 8 versus North Carolina Central and Sept. 15 against West Virginia State.
The Phoenix will finish the regular season with eight straight Southern Conference games, beginning with a Sept. 22 trip to Georgia Southern, the 2011 conference champion.
Elon's home games in SoCon play are against Wofford (Sept. 29), Western Carolina on Homecoming (Oct. 20), Furman (Oct. 27) and Samford (Nov. 10).
The other road SoCon games are against Appalachian State (Oct. 6), The Citadel (Nov. 3) and Chattanooga (Nov. 17).
"Our schedule is one that will challenge us in 2012," Swepson said. "Opening at North Carolina provides our program an incredible opportunity for our students, alumni and fans to support us and helps us recruit in-state. We want to have some early success against non-conference opponents and ride that into Southern Conference play. The Southern Conference is one of the top leagues in the country and the games are always very competitive. Our goal is to win a SoCon title."
Elon is coming off a 5-6 record in Swepson's first season, including 3-5 in the SoCon.

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.
