Ruskell, who resigned from Seattle late last season, rejoins Bears general manager Jerry Angelo. The two worked together in Tampa Bay from 1987 through 2000.

Ruskell spent the last five seasons as president of football operations and GM of the Seahawks after a one-year stint as assistant GM with the Falcons. Prior to his time in Atlanta, Ruskell spent 17 seasons with Tampa Bay. He first started with the Buccaneers as a regional scout and then became the director of college scouting. Ruskell was later promoted to director of player personnel for the Bucs in 2001 and he helped build a team that won Super Bowl XXXVII following the 2002 season.

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.
