49ers sign Carr; trade Hill to Lions

Football Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco 49ers have signed quarterback David Carr and have agreed to trade Shaun Hill to the Detroit Lions.

Hill spent the past four seasons with San Francisco and will head to Detroit, pending a physical, in exchange for an undisclosed pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Carr, meanwhile, spent the past two seasons as Eli Manning's backup with the New York Giants. He also played a year in Carolina after spending his first five seasons as the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans.

A native of Bakersfield, California, who starred collegiately at Fresno State, Carr was the first overall pick of the 2002 draft and immediately became the starter for the expansion Texans.

The 30-year-old veteran started 75 of his 76 games in five seasons with Houston, then started four of his six games with Carolina in 2007. He appeared in just nine games over two seasons with the Giants, and completed 30-of-45 passes for 340 yards with three touchdowns in very limited action.

"We are very happy to add David to our roster," said 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan. "We added a player at a position of need and of huge importance to us. David provides depth at the quarterback position and helps make us stronger. He's a great young man."

In 91 NFL games, including 79 starts, Carr has connected on 59.8 percent of his passes for 14,366 with 65 touchdowns and 70 interceptions.

Hill spent his first four NFL seasons with Minnesota, then joined the 49ers as a free agent in 2006. After serving as the third quarterback his first season in San Francisco, Hill started 16 games and made two other appearances over the following three seasons. He threw for 3,490 yards with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with the 49ers.

"Shaun is the ultimate competitor," said 49ers head coach Mike Singletary. "He gave everything he had to his teammates, coaches and fans. I admire how Shaun took advantage of his opportunities and got the most out of his abilities. I wish him nothing but the best as he starts a new chapter in Detroit."

In Detroit, he'll back up second-year man Matthew Stafford.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
