Dungy to return for 2007 seasonFootball Betting Lines02/20/2007 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy announced Monday he will return for the 2007 season. Dungy kept his options open after leading the Colts to the Super Bowl title over the Chicago Bears, but made his decision definite, speaking Monday in advance of this weekends NFL Scouting Combine, "Every year is different," Dungy said Monday. "Certainly, there was a lot of emotion (after the Super Bowl). You never really know until it's all over. I try to sit back at the end of the year and look at everything, where we're going to the future." There was speculation that Dungy might decide to retire if the Colts won Super Bowl XLI, but the morning after Indy's 29-17 victory over Chicago, Dungy gave all indications that he would return to the sideline for the 2007 season. Less than a month later, he made it official. "Obviously, you want to come back," Dungy said. "You want to defend the title. We've got such a great group of guys, that that's eventually what draws you back every year." Dungy just completed his fifth season as Colts head coach. He has a record of 60-20 in the regular season and a playoff mark of 7-4.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
