Golf Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John-Tyler Griffin of Georgia Tech holds a one-shot lead after playing two rounds of the U.S. Amateur Public Links.

Griffin, who is from Wilson, North Carolina, about two hours west of Greensboro, fired a four-under-par 67 on the Bryan Park Golf & Conference Center. He stands at nine-under 133 through 36 holes.

Play was suspended at 6:18 p.m. due to a dangerous situation because of lightning in the area, with 18 players yet to finish their second rounds. The second round of stroke play will resume at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. The first round of match play is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

Derek Ernst, who held a one-stroke lead after the first round of stroke play, is one shot back after completing his second round. Also in the clubhouse at minus-eight are Patrick Reed and Bhavik Patel. Reed was a semifinalist at the 2008 U.S. Amateur while Patel was a semifinalist last year at the same event.

Andrew Yun is also through two rounds and is seven-under-par. George Bryan is finished at minus-six.

Last year's champion Brad Benjamin is not competing.

Following Wednesday's second round of stroke play, the field will be cut to the top 64 players, who will then face off in match play. Wednesday will be the first round of match play followed by the second and third rounds on Thursday, the quarterfinals and semifinals on Friday and the 36-hole final on Saturday.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
