New England Patriots Sign RB LaMont Jordan: It’s not like the New England Patriots needed any help, but they just got it. It was announced late Saturday evening that the Oakland Raiders’ ex-starting RB LaMont Jordan, has signed with the New England Patriots after being released Friday by the silver-and-black. The Raiders had tried to get something out of the powerful HB, but were forced to release him after no one favored a trade. How many games will the New England Patriots win this upcoming 2008-2009 NFL regular season? SportsBook.com has the answer. The terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, as the New England Patriots have added some depth to their already high-octane offensive attack.  The OVER/UNDER for how many 2008-2009 NFL regular season games the New England Patriots will win has been set at 12 total games won. The veteran HB who most recently served as a backup RB in the New York Jets, before being offered a contract to start with the Raiders, is expected to come in and play backup to the Patriots’ starter, Laurence Maroney. The Betting Odds ML for the New England Patriots to win OVER 12 in the 2008-2009 NFL regular season games is -190. The 5’ 10” 230-lbs 29-year-old Jordan is likely to be used in goal line situations as a bruiser HB if you will. The last few seasons with the Raiders, Jordan’s playing time has been limited because of ongoing back problems. The Betting Odds ML for the New England Patriots to win UNDER 12 in the 2008-2009 NFL regular season games is +155. Last season, Jordan rushed for 549 yards and just 3 touchdowns in 12 games. The ex-USC Trojan HB Justine Fargas, took over his role as a starter, and of course everyone knows of the Raiders’ 2008 Draft Pick, McFadden. In his 7 seasons in the NFL, Jordan’s totals are: 3,285 rushing yards, 24 TD, and 158 pass receptions for 1,301 yards.
