Football Betting Lines

03/22/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Texans officially acquired quarterback Matt Schaub from the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday.

The Houston Chronicle reported that the Falcons will get a pair of second- round picks in return and also swap first-round picks with the Texans this year. Atlanta will move up from the 10th spot to eighth.

The 6-5, 237-pound Schaub served as Michael Vick's backup the past three seasons and completed 84 of 161 passes for 1,033 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions in his career.

He was originally drafted by the Falcons in the third round of the 2004 draft from the University of Virginia. He has appeared in 38 career games, with two starts

Schaub will join quarterbacks David Carr, Sage Rosenfels and Bradlee Van Pelt on the Houston roster. But, Carr will likely become a roster casualty in the coming weeks.
