Golf Betting Lines

Bandon, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cheyenne Woods, the stroke-play medalist, picked up a 4 & 3 win Wednesday at the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, took down Ashley Edwards in the first round and will face Bethany Wu in the second round on Thursday. Wu needed 19 holes to beat Ashlan Ramsey.

 

Woods and Edwards traded wins on seven and eight, then Edwards won the ninth with a par and was 3-down. It remained that way until she struggled to a bogey on the 14th and the match was over when they halved 15th.

 

Stephanie Kono and Tiffany Lua, who were teammates on the 2010 U.S. Curtis Cup team, both advanced on Wednesday. Lua will battle Christine Wolf, who qualified for the 2011 U.S. Women's Open.

 

The championship continues Thursday on the Bandon Trails course at Bandon Dunes with the second and third rounds. The Old Macdonald course will have the quarters and semis on Friday, as well as the 36-hole final on Saturday.

 

Traditionally a five-round tournament where pros tee it up with amateurs, the Humana Challenge trimmed the championship back to four rounds. Professionals will team with different amateur partners over the first three rounds. The top 70 professionals make the 54-hole cut and the winner will get the newly- created Bob Hope Trophy.

 

The 2012 edition will run from January 19-22.

 

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Richard Green and Englishman Graeme Storm both posted rounds of six-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead of the Open de France. George Coetzee got to seven-under par, but bogeyed 15 and 17 to shoot a five- under 66. He is tied for third place with Thorbjorn Olesen and James Morrison at Le Golf National.

 

World No. 4 Martin Kaymer carded a respectable even-par 71, but the man he beat in a playoff last year for the PGA Championship fared slightly worse on Thursday.

 

They're all chasing the co-leaders, who both played in the morning wave.

 

A bogey at the par-four 17th dropped Green into a tie for the lead and a par at the last kept him in first.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
