10/13/2008 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback Carson Palmer will likely miss another week because of a sore throwing elbow, after consultation with an elbow specialist.
Palmer stayed in New York following the Bengals' 26-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday and visited with Mets team physician and elbow specialist Dr. David Altchek. At his press conference on Monday, Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis said Altchek recommended a "further conservative approach."
"We'll talk with Carson and see what he feels, but this would put him out for this game and put Ryan (Fitzpatrick) as our starting quarterback as we get ready for the Steelers," Lewis said.
The Bengals host Pittsburgh this upcoming Sunday.
Lewis, though, did not commit to ruling Palmer out and said no option was closed off.
"Well, I think right now, until I talk with Carson in person and talk more with the medical people," Lewis said. "I'll just say there could be more of an update later, and we'll see."
Palmer has sat out a pair of games this season -- the Jets game and a September 28 contest against Cleveland -- though he did play on October 5 against Dallas.
For the season, the USC product has completed 75-of-129 passes for 731 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions in four games.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
