12/27/2006 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins will reportedly start Cleo Lemon at quarterback for Sunday's season-finale against Indianapolis.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel cited a source as saying Lemon will get the nod ahead of Joey Harrington.
Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said after Monday's 13-10 loss to the New York Jets that both Lemon and Harrington would likely play against the Colts, but he did not specify who would start.
Harrington struggled against the Jets after also having trouble the previous week in a 21-0 loss at Buffalo. He had a 0.0 rating against the Bills and on Christmas night completed just 7-of-15 passes for 42 yards in wet conditions against New York.
After the Dolphins had played six straight quarters without a point, Saban decided to replace Harrington with Lemon to start the second half against the Jets.
Lemon nearly threw an interception on his first series, but settled down and hit on 11-of-16 throws for 104 yards with his first NFL touchdown pass -- a seven-yarder to tight end Randy McMichael that gave Miami a brief 7-3 lead.
Harrington, in his first season with Miami after four years toiling for the Detroit Lions, posted a 5-6 record as the Dolphins' starter after taking over for the injured and ineffective Daunte Culpepper.
The third overall pick of the 2002 draft has completed 57.5 percent of his passes for 2,236 yards with 12 touchdowns and 15 interceptions for the season.
Lemon, in the last two games, has connected on 20-of-30 passes for 202 yards one touchdown and no interceptions.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
