Rams hurting: RB Jackson out, OT Pace to miss 2-to-4 weeks
Football Betting Lines
11/17/2008 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson
will miss next Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears with a thigh injury,
while offensive tackle Orlando Pace will be out 2-to-4 weeks with a knee
injury.
Jackson has missed the last two games and will miss his fourth game in five
weeks. Rams head coach Jim Haslett said the running back just needs time to
rest.
"He has had a second opinion (on the thigh injury)," said Haslett. "He has a
strain with a little bit of blood in it, and it is going to take some time to
heal," Haslett said. "(The doctor) thought that he should take some time off
and let it heal and rest. (He) will be out this week."
Jackson was hurt during the October 19 game against Dallas, despite rushing
for 160 yards and three touchdowns, then missed the following week's contest
against New England. He returned against Arizona on November 2 after being
limited in practice and managed just 17 yards on seven carries.
For the season, Jackson has 525 yards on 128 carries with four touchdowns and
has added 25 catches for 259 yards.
Pace, the top overall pick of the 1997 draft, suffered an MCL injury that will
keep him sidelined for the next few weeks and possibly for the rest of the
season.
"(Putting Pace on injured reserve) is something that we will have to discuss,"
Haslett said. "Right now he is (out for) 2-to-4 (weeks) so I am going to talk
to Orlando and see what he thinks."
Pace has played in all but one game this season after playing in just nine
total games the past two years. The Ohio State product missed just nine games
in his first nine seasons and has been to the Pro Bowl seven times, as well as
being a first-team All Pro three times in his career.

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.
