Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Indianapolis Colts released 22 players including veteran tackle Adam Terry on Saturday, also acquiring cornerback Justin Tryon via a trade with the Washington Redskins amid their "cut-down-day" transactions.
Terry, who was looking to crack the rotation along the offensive line, was one of the few veteran players released by Indianapolis on Saturday. The 2005 second-round pick out of Syracuse appeared in 46 games (18 starts) as a member of the Baltimore Ravens from 2005 to 2008, but missed all of 2009 with a knee injury.
Tryon, who was obtained from the Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed future draft choice, will offer some depth at cornerback for Indianapolis. A 2008 fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, Tryon appeared in 29 games for Washington over the past two seasons, with a pair of starts.
Released along with Terry on Saturday were defensive end Ervin Baldwin, quarterback Tom Brandstater, defensive end John Chick, tight end Colin Cloherty, defensive tackle Marlon Favorite, defensive back Ray Fisher, wide receiver Sam Giguere, defensive backs Danny Gorrer and Ashton Hall, wide receiver Brandon James, running back Javarris James, defensive back Terrail Lambert, tackle Chris Marinelli. center Adrian Martinez, defensive back Mike Newton, running back Allen Patrick, defensive back Glenn Sharpe, defensive back Terrell Skinner, wide receiver Taj Smith, linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka, wide receiver Blair White and tackle James Williams.
Indianapolis begins the 2010 regular season next Sunday, when it travels to meet the AFC South rival Houston Texans.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence
Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.
Work left to do:
Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.
Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.
DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...
West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.
Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
