Bradford makes debut, but Rosenfels steals spotlight
Football Betting Lines
08/14/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sage Rosenfels threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 28-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams in each team's first preseason game.
Rosenfels relieved starter Tarvaris Jackson early in the game and completed 23-of-34 attempts, including touchdown passes of 65 and 71 yards to Garrett Mills and Marko Mitchell, respectively. The Vikings, currently playing without last year's starting quarterback, Brett Favre, are looking to build on a season that saw them lose in overtime in the NFC Championship to New Orleans.
Rookie Toby Gerhart led the team in rushing with 24 yards on eight carries, and Mills ended with four catches for 106 yards.
Top overall pick Sam Bradford made his Rams debut and completed 6-of-13 passes for 57 yards. Bradford was given one of the richest contracts in league history as a rookie, and it will be up to him to lead the Rams to an improvement on last year's 2-14 mark.
Danny Amendola accounted for St. Louis' lone offense with a 93-yard punt return for a TD in the opening quarter.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
