Gronkowski taking it day-by-day
Football Betting Lines
01/31/2012 -
Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New England Patriots tight end Rob
Gronkowski met the media on Tuesday and quickly addressed his ankle injury,
sounding much like head coach Bill Belichick.
"I'm going day-by-day," Gronkowski said, repeating himself numerous times with
the throng of reporters surrounding him at the Super Bowl's media day on the
field at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It's basically the same response Belichick, never one to divulge details on
injured players, has given since last week.
"We'll just take it day-by-day," Belichick has maintained about Gronkowski's
status.
Gronkowski has not yet practiced in preparation for Sunday's game against the
New York Giants because of a left ankle injury he sustained during the AFC
Championship Game against Baltimore.
He arrived in Indianapolis on Sunday wearing a walking boot, but indicated
Tuesday that it's off and won't be used again.
Gronkowski wouldn't say whether he would practice this week, or whether he
would play Sunday if he was not able to participate in practice.
"I don't know yet," Gronkowski reiterated. "We're going day-by-day. I'm
feeling better everyday. I want to be out there with the team. I want to help
out the team.
"When Sunday comes along, [the trainers] will have me where I need to be."
Gronkowski had a record-breaking year for the Patriots, setting an NFL mark
for tight ends with 17 touchdown receptions. He also scored once on the ground
and finished the campaign with 90 catches -- second on the team behind only
Wes Welker's 122 -- for 1,327 yards.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
New York Giants betting lines
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Dallas Cowboys betting lines
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
Oakland Raiders betting lines
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
