Golf Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - Pebble Beach, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Calcavecchia fired an eight-under 64 Friday to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the First Tee Open.

Calcavecchia fired his 64 at Del Monte Golf Course, which is one of two courses used for the first two rounds. The other course, Pebble Beach, will host the final round on Sunday.

Tom Pernice, Jr. carded a six-under 66 and is alone in second place.

Fred Couples, who is second on the Champions Tour money list, shares third place at minus-five. He was joined there by Scott Simpson, Bob Tway, Chip Beck, Tom Kite, Olin Browne and Wayne Levi.

Calcavecchia started on the back nine at Del Monte and notched his first birdie on the 11th. He ran off three straight birdies from the 15th to jump to minus-four.

Around the turn, Calcavecchia birdied the first and second. After a par on the third, he got to seven-under thanks to a birdie at the par-three fourth.

Calcavecchia parred four in a row. At the par-five ninth, his last, he made his final birdie to cap a bogey-free round.

Pernice, who spent most of his time on the PGA Tour this year, birdied the first four holes to jump up the leaderboard.

After a par on No. 5, Pernice birdied the sixth then ran off 10 consecutive pars from the seventh.

His par run ended with a birdie on the par-three 17th. Pernice parred the last to end two back.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
