Golf Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lion Kim and David McDaniel will meet in the final of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship after both players squeezed out a pair of 1-up victories on Friday.

Indeed, all six matches contested Friday on the Champions Course at Bryan Park were decided by 1-up scores. And half of them went extra holes.

In the semifinals, Kim rallied for a 1-up victory over Kevin Phelan after falling 2-down through 12 holes. A 21-year-old from Ann Arbor, Mich., Kim won the 13th with a par and then squared the match with an eagle at the par-five 15th.

He moved 1-up with a par at the 16th, then halved the last two holes with Phelan as both players closed with back-to-back birdies.

In the other semifinal, McDaniel rallied from a 3-down deficit after six holes against Josh Anderson. The 25-year-old from Tucson, Ariz., didn't take his first lead until a par at the 14th moved him 1-up.

McDaniel held on to that advantage over the last four holes to set up a meeting with Kim in Saturday's 36-hole match play final.

They will begin their first 18 holes at 7 a.m. (et).

All of the morning quarterfinal matches also ended in 1-up victories, with three of the four going extra holes.

Kim led for 16 of the 18 holes in his match against Chris Williams. After Williams squared the match with a par at the 16th, Kim took the lead for good with a par at the 17th. He earned a 1-up win after both players parred the 18th.

McDaniel trailed for much of the back nine against Harris English, but birdied the 17th to square the match. McDaniel won with a par on their 19th hole.

Phelan was never ahead in his match against Wesley Graham until he won the 21st hole for a 1-up victory. Phelan parred the 18th to square the match and send it to extra holes.

Anderson was behind for 10 of the first 17 holes against Darren Wallace. He squared the match with a birdie at the 18th, then earned his 1-up win with a par on the first extra hole.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
