Zetterberg, who was also the first star last week, notched eight points (four goals, four assists) in three games for the Red Wings, who went 2-1 last week and moved into first place in the Central Division and Western Conference with 82 points, one better than Nashville. Zetterberg was in on all eight Red Wings goals, having an assist in a 6-1 loss to Philadelphia on February 12, the game-winning goal and two assists in a 3-1 win in Dallas on Wednesday and notched his first career hat trick and added an assist in a 4-1 victory over the Coyotes on Saturday. Zetterberg leads the Red Wings in scoring with 64 points (30 goals, 34 assists).

Selanne also has eight points (four goals, four assists) in the week to earn the second star. He was held pointless in a 2-0 loss to Colorado on Tuesday, but bounced back with two goals, including the game winner, and an assist in a 5-4 overtime victory in Phoenix on Thursday. On Saturday he notched one goal and one assist in a 3-2 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings and recorded a goal and two assists in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings on Sunday. Selanne leads the Ducks and is in 10th place in the league with 71 points (36 goals, 35 assists) in 60 games.

Sakic's eight points (two goals, six assists) helped lead him to the third star as the Avalanche went 2-2 during the week. He recorded one assist on Monday in a 2-0 victory over the Ducks. He notched two goals, including No. 600 in his career, and three assists in a 7-5 win over Calgary on Thursday. He finished the week with a single assist in losses at Calgary, 5-2, on Saturday and Vancouver, 5-4, on Sunday. He leads the Avalanche with 70 points (26 goals and 44 assists) and is 12th on the points list in the league.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
