Championship Adds Place On Event

Golf Betting Lines

Losing Woods is yet another blow for the Tour Championship, which is reserved for the top-30 players on the PGA Tour money list following this week's Chrysler Championship.

 

Woods won the Tour Championship in 1999 and was runner-up to Mickelson in 2000, Retief Goosen in 2004 and Bart Bryant last year.

 

This is the final full-field event of the season before the Nationwide Tour Championship in two weeks. The top-62 players get into the field in two weeks, then the top 20 on the money list following the Tour Championship move on to the PGA Tour in 2007.

 

Christian began this week at No. 63 on the money list and played steady after opening with a seven-under 64 on Thursday. On Friday, he opened with a birdie, but hit a poor drive on the third to card a bogey.

 

Christian birdied the 13th and 14th holes, but dropped his fourth shot of the round at 15 when he hit his approach in the right rough. He birdied the 16th to post nine-under par.

 

O'Neal is 53rd on the money list and in no danger of losing his place two weeks from now at the Houstonian Golf and Country Club.

 

He birdied the first and fourth holes to get his name up the leaderboard, but back-to-back birdies at eight and nine put himself in strong position for his first Nationwide Tour victory.

 

Gyeongju, Korea (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jin Joo Hong fired a five-under 67 Saturday to take a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the KOLON-Hana Bank Championship. Hong, one of 12 players in the field this week from the Korean LPGA, stands at nine-under-par 135 through 36 holes.

 

Paula Creamer (72), the highest ranked player in the field at world No. 7, shares fifth place at minus-four with Suzann Pettersen (71), Jeong Jang (72) and defending champion Jee Young Lee (73).

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“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.

New York Giants betting lines

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.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

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.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

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.
