Another son of Eagles' coach Reid faces criminal charges

Football Betting Lines

02/16/2007 - Harrisburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pennsylvania attorney general Tom Corbett announced that Plymouth Township Police filed criminal charges against Garrett Reid surrounding an accident on January 30.

Corbett said an investigation found that Reid -- the son of Eagles head coach Andy Reid -- was under the influence of controlled substances, recklessly drove his vehicle, exceeded the speed limit, ran a red light, and collided with a vehicle operated by Louise Hartman.

Hartman was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where she was treated for a head laceration and cervical strain before being released.

Following the collision, Reid was found to be in possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. The complaint charges Reid with: simple assault; recklessly endangering another person; four counts of possession of controlled substance (one count each as to heroin, amphetamine, Phentermine and Testosterone; driving under the Influence; two counts of drug paraphernalia; one count each as to heroin paraphernalia and steroid paraphernalia); and one count of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance.

Reid was also charged with various summary traffic offenses including violating traffic control signals, maximum speed limits, driving vehicle at a safe speed and careless driving.

Reid's brother, Britt Reid, was earlier charged with several drug and weapon offenses in a separate incident on the same day. The younger Reid got into a confrontation with another motorist in an alleged road-rage incident.

A Remington shotgun, cocaine, marijuana, the prescription painkiller Oxycodone and other drug paraphernalia were recovered from the 21-year-old black SUV after the incident.

The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office referred both cased to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office to avoid a potential conflict of interest.

Meanwhile, Andy Reid has taken a leave of absence from his duties as the Eagles' head coach/executive vice president of football operations.

Reid is taking the time off to attend to personal matters involving his family. The leave of absence is expected to last until approximately mid- March. At that point, the Eagles expect Reid will return to his regular duties.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
