11/21/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is suffering from a right hamstring injury and is considered a game- time decision to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Burress, who was hurt during practice on Wednesday, was limited in his team workout on Friday.
Sunday will mark a return to the site where the Giants won the Super Bowl following last season when they toppled the New England Patriots. Burress caught the winning 13-yard TD pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds remaining in the game.
"It is definitely a place where it was a record setting event and it was definitely a great experience for us, a great time for us, as young men and being able to accomplish dreams for our organization, but it is the regular season and none of that stuff really can help us or does anything for us come Sunday," said Burres. "I am pretty sure we will get off the plane and enjoy the weather first of all and go out and try to get a win."
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin officially listed Burress as questionable for the game.
"Nothing new except he is a little better than he was the day before," Coughlin said. "He did some things. But it will wind up being a game time, I'm sure."
Burress is the Giants' leading receiver with 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns.
Running back Brandon Jacobs is listed as probable for Sunday's game due to a right knee injury. He missed practice earlier this week because of the injury.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
