49ers and BearsThe Chicago Bears will start Kyle Orton at quarterback this season and his first test as the main man comes in Thursday’s NFL preseason betting game against the San Francisco 49ers at 8:00pm On FOX.

Orton won the job over Rex Grossman, although neither player was overwhelming in their play this preseason. Orton is 12-6 as a starting quarterback for the Bears in his three seasons.

“To come to a decision like that, we’ve taken a lot of things into consideration—last year, how we finished the season, OTAs, training camp, preseason games,” head coach Lovie Smith said.

“In the end it comes down to a gut feeling that you have, and I feel good about Kyle leading our team.”

Chicago will get a long look at their new starting quarterback during Thursday’s NFL preseason betting game as the Bears are expected to play their starters into the third quarter.

Notre Dame StadiumThe luck of the Irish has seemed to go over the rainbow for the Notre Dame football team over the past seasons end definitely after losing Brady Quinn to the NFL.

The Irish finished the 2007 college football season only 3-9 straight up and didn’t make it to a bowl game for the 4th straight year.

The 2008 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will have Charlie Weis in his 4th season as head coach and experience with 16 returning starters on the field this season.

Notre Dame went 5-7 against the spread in college football betting odds and 3-9 in over/unders. The Irish averaged only 167 passing yards and a miserable 75.3 rushing yards per game while allowing opponents 161.6 passing yards and 195.9 rushing per game.

Bruce ArenaThe Los Angeles Galaxy will play their first game under new general manager and head coach Bruce Arena on ESPN 2 Thursday as they host the Chicago Fire at 10:00pm EST.

The Galaxy are winless in their last eight MLS betting games overall but they have owned the Fire of late, losing only one match at home against Chicago in the last four years.

The Galaxy have not won a match since June 14th at San Jose. They are 0-4-4 in their last eight games and have been outscored 21-12 in those soccer betting matches.

The Galaxy's longest winless streak in history is 10 games during the 2006 season. The winless streak caused owner Tim Leiweke to make a change and he brought in former U.S. national manager Bruce Arena as coach and GM.
