Click to visit PaddyPower Bookmaker for more info on his latest cashbacksOnline sportsbook PaddyPower.com has just launched it’s latest money back deal for the weekend’s English Premier League football.

Called Red Card In Sight – Punter’s Delight it’s fairly self explanatory!

This cash back offer applies to both the Liverpool v Chelsea (Sun 4pm SS1) and the Man City v Man Utd (Sun 1.30pm SS1) games and could once again see good refunds.

If any on-field player is shown a red card in these game, Paddy Power will refund all losing 90 minute win-draw-win bets on that game.  A Max Refund of €300/£200 per applies customer.

Eds note: After Paddy’s payouts last weekend on both Derby v Portsmouth and Arsenal v Reading matches (as a goal was scored in the first 10 minutes) you’d think he try to make it harder. I think both of this weekend’s cash back games have potential to be fairly feisty!

NFL Preseason Preview – week two

NFL Preseason Preview for Thurs./Friday.
By David Harrison

The second week of the NFL preseason begins on Thursday night when Miami takes on Kansas City. Four games are on tap on a busier Friday night, including Atlanta at Buffalo, Carolina at Philadelphia, Minnesota at the Jets and Tennessee at New England.

Here’s a quick rundown of all five games.

Thursday

Miami at Kansas City (-3)

Trent Green makes an early return to Kansas City this week, hoping to improve on the form he displayed in his Miami preseason debut last week. In the Dolphins’ 18-17 win over Jacksonville, Green was booed by the hometown fans after completing 6-of-15 passes for 60 yards and an interception. The usually fiery Dolphins’ defense will be tame Thursday night with Zach Thomas, Keith Traylor and Jason Taylor all expected to sit out.

The Chiefs are coming off a 16-12 loss to Cleveland in which the offense fizzled. Both Damon Huard and Brodie Croyle threw an interception in the loss, while the Chiefs’ running game flat-lined without Larry Johnson. With Johnson’s holdout still ongoing, he’ll be nowhere near Kansas City on Thursday, while tight end Tony Gonzalez will also likely be absent due to a lingering knee injury.

Friday

Atlanta at Buffalo (-3)

The Falcons’ preseason began with a thud last week as they were crushed by the Jets 31-16. Joey Harrington was 6-of-9 for 88 yards in limited duty, while Jerious Norwood displayed his blazing speed while rushing for 29 yards on eight carries with a touchdown. Norwood was hit by a stomach bug earlier in the week and may be unavailable on Friday.

The Bills pulled off a 13-10 win over New Orleans last week despite receiving very little production from their starting offense. Quarterback J.P. Losman connected on 4-of-6 passes for 20 yards, while Marshawn Lynch’s NFL debut was a short one, in which he rushed for three yards on only two carries.

Carolina at Philadelphia (-3)

The Panthers kicked off the preseason with a 24-21 win over the Giants. Jake Delhomme looked like his old self while completing 5-of-8 passes for 30 yards and a touchdown. DeAngelo Williams missed the opener with an ankle injury and is questionable for Friday night.

The Eagles were humbled by Baltimore 29-3 in their preseason opener without QB Donovan McNabb. Rookie Kevin Kolb completed 11-of-22 passes for 77 yards in the second half, but could not march the Eagles into the end zone. McNabb is listed as probable for Friday night and will likely see his first action of the preseason.

Minnesota at NY Jets (-4.5)

The Vikings also had troubles scoring in their preseason opener, which they lost to St. Louis 13-10. Rookie QB Adrian Peterson saw a fair share of action with 11 carries for 33 yards in the loss.

The Jets found their backup QB for Chad Pennington in a 31-16 win over Atlanta. Pennington skipped the game which gave Kellen Clemens the opportunity to pass for 174 yards and three touchdowns.

Tennessee at New England (-5.5)

Without Vince Young the Titans struggled in their opener, losing 14-6 to Washington. Young was serving a one-game suspension for breaking team rules and should be back in a limited capacity on Friday. Chris Henry looked good in his Titans’ debut, rushing for 42 yards on 12 carries.

The Patriots sat a good chunk of their starting offense in their 13-10 loss to Tampa Bay last week. Randy Moss, Donte’ Stallworth and Laurence Maroney all sat out, while Tom Brady only threw seven passes, completing five for 34 yards.
