Jason Williams staying in Orlando
Basketball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 -
Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orlando Magic on Tuesday re-signed free
agent guard Jason Williams.
Williams, 34, came out of retirement a year ago to sign with the Magic. He
averaged 6.0 points, 3.6 assists and 1.5 rebounds while appearing in all 82
games last season. The West Virginia native retired in September 2008.
"Jason played very well for us last season," said Magic general manager Otis
Smith. "He provides veteran leadership to our backcourt and knows what it
takes to win. We are happy to have him back on our team."
Williams burst onto the scene as the seventh overall pick of the Sacramento Kings in 1998. His highlight-reel passes and crossovers made him a fan
favorite, overshadowing his respectable numbers.
In 761 career games, the Florida product has logged 10.8 points and 6.0
assists with Sacramento, Memphis, Miami and Orlando.
Williams won an NBA title with the Heat after the 2005-06 campaign.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
