Caldwell lands in Baltimore

Football Betting Lines

01/30/2012 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Ravens have named Jim Caldwell as their quarterbacks coach.

Caldwell was fired as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts two weeks ago in the wake of a 2-14 season and front office upheaval. He took over after Tony Dungy's retirement and in three seasons posted a mark of 26-22 with a trip to the Super Bowl after his first year.

The Ravens did not have a quarterbacks coach in 2011 after Jim Zorn left following the 2010 season. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron handled the duties this past season.

Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco had a banner year in 2011, throwing for 3,610 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions as the Ravens won the AFC North.

Caldwell served as quarterbacks coach for the Colts in each of his first three seasons on Dungy's staff and was elevated to assistant head coach before the 2005 campaign. He was also on Dungy's staff for the 2001 season in Tampa Bay.

Prior to joining Dungy in Tampa, Caldwell was the head coach at Wake Forest from 1993-2000, guiding the Demon Deacons to a record of 26-63 with one winning season and one bowl appearance.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
