Burnley's Caldwell upset contract wasn't extended

Soccer Betting Lines

05/04/2010 - Burnley, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Burnley skipper Steven Caldwell has admitted to being disappointed at not being offered a new contract by the relegated Turf Moor club.

The 29-year-old central defender joined Burnley in January 2007 from Sunderland, but is out of contract this summer, having suffered a number of injury problems as his side have failed to survive in the Premier League.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "I've never been offered a contract, so it's out of my hands. That's life, sometimes things change and you move on to a different challenge.

"I'll just go about my business and work hard. It's never really happened, people speaking to me and obviously I've been injured for a while, which has maybe been taken into consideration.

"I'm always willing to listen, but I'm a little disappointed it hasn't come so far.

"Things change and people move on, if it had come a little earlier, I think I would have been interested to listen and see what is said.

"I've been a prominent feature in the team for three-and-a-half years though and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Burnley. It's a fantastic club and we've achieved unbelievable things.

"Sometimes clubs seek different routes and people move on and I'm open to challenges. If nothing's been said so far, maybe we have to move on."

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
