Chiefs acquire RB Bennett from SaintsFootball Betting Lines08/02/2006 - River Falls, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Chiefs acquired running back Michael Bennett from the New Orleans Saints Wednesday in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice in 2007. Bennett, a five-year veteran, started six of 16 games last season for the Minnesota Vikings and rushed for 473 yards on 126 carries with five total touchdowns. The University of Wisconsin alum was signed to a two-year deal by New Orleans in the offseason. After selecting Reggie Bush second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft and with Deuce McAllister already in the fold, however, Bennett became expendable. "We have been working on a potential trade for Michael Bennett for the last couple of months," said Chiefs president Carl Peterson. "As a former number one draft choice he brings quality and experience to the Chiefs and he is still a young running back. Michael has had a 1,000-yard rushing season and has been to a Pro Bowl. He will be utilized to back up Larry Johnson and be involved in our group of running backs as soon as he arrives in camp." Bennett rushed for 1,296 yards in 2002 and was selected to his only Pro Bowl as a result. For his career, he has rushed for 3,174 yards and scored a total of 17 touchdowns since being selected 27th overall by Minnesota in the 2001 draft.

Big 12 Conference betting odds Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State Work left to do: Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on. Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough. Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
