Johnson to play for KC next week?

[Indiana]

Heard he is in jail on domestic abuse charges. I just laid a little on the Raiders. Anybody know more about this?

Not yet, but he will most likely be suspended by the team and/or the NFL.

Looks like it is nothing.

From what I have been able to gather from various reports (according to police and the club bouncers) is that his girlfriend was really drunk and out of control. Then she started screaming at him outside the bar. Her friends convinced her to press charges the next morning when they saw bruises on her arms, which are more than likely just from him trying to calm her down.

You mean, the Chiefs will have to settle for Priest Holmes? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Now EasyE,

Being the great football handicapper that you are you should realize that this makes a difference. As a matter of fact, the biggest injury of interest to a pro sports better is one to the Center. That's right, the guy hiking the ball. The reason for this is that the general public and linesmakers never adjust the lines for an injury to such a low-profile player. But the Center is important and we need to lay our bets around this injury.

Just my 2 cents,

Indy

I'm pretty sure the OP was talking about Larry Johnson. Not a center.

My point is that any loss should make u rethink the odds being laid.

I think I'll stick with the Chiefs and the under. I don't see this changing anything

Very much agreed (as a hometown KC'er). If it were late in the season and Priest really needed the rest, not having such an explosive back to take 10 carries off his hands might matter a little more. But its early, Priest is in great shape. If LJ is out, the Chiefs will likely spell Priest by occasionally letting T.Rich (fb) carry the ball occasionally instead of subbing LJ.

Negligible impact. In fact, I'm hoping JL does get suspended and the line moves slightly in favor of KC as a result with an action swing of outsiders thinking LJ out will matter...

See Minnesota Vikings for confirmation of this theory.
