Eclipse Awards to have Edwards host

Horseracing Betting Lines

12/19/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Next month's 41st annual Eclipse Awards will be hosted by ESPN's Jeannine Edwards. The awards ceremony will be at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, California on Monday evening January 16.

"I'm extremely proud, flattered and honored to be hosting the Eclipse Awards -- racing's Oscars," said Edwards, who becomes the first female to serve as host of the event. "I want to thank the NTRA for this extraordinary opportunity. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been in love with horses and racing. For me, the Eclipse Awards would come along every year and be the anxiously-awaited, crowning moment of a season's worth of indelible achievements. With so many divisions up in the air, I'm just as eager as everyone else to see who will be taking home the hardware. It humbles me to think I will be a part of this year's crowning moment."

Edwards is a senior broadcast analyst for ESPN and is considered one of the leading female sportscasters in the country.

"Jeannine is not just a talented on-air personality, but also one of the most universally admired and respected people associated with the thoroughbred industry," said Alex Waldrop, President and CEO of the NTRA. "We are delighted to have her as the host of the upcoming Eclipse Awards."

A resident of Maryland, Edwards got into thoroughbred broadcasting after spending a decade as an exercise rider, apprentice jockey and trainer in New York and New Jersey. She served as an in-house TV host at racetracks in Maryland.

The New Jersey native joined ESPN in 1995 as a studio analyst for "National Best 7" which became "2Day at the Races." Edwards has also worked as a sideline reporter for ESPN covering college football and basketball. In addition, she has been a general assignment reporter on ESPN's SportsCenter.

Edwards has been part of two Eclipse Awarding winning broadcast teams. In 2009 the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Live Telecast was bestowed for the Belmont Stakes on ABC and ESPN was honored for the following year's Breeders' Cup.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
