Golf Betting Lines

08/14/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Watney posted a six-under 66 on Saturday to move three clear of the field after the third round of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

Watney, a two-time tour winner, bogeyed the last to finish at 13-under 203. He is three ahead of two men with major championship history in 2010, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson, who both had 67s on Saturday.

McIlroy opened with a first-round leading 63 on Thursday at the British Open, but shot an 80 in round two. Johnson was the 54-hole leader at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, but a final-round 82 left him tied for eighth.

Wen-chong Liang established a new course record at Whistling Straits with an eight-under 64 on Saturday. He is tied for third place with Martin Kaymer (67) and Jason Day (66) at nine-under 207.

Tiger Woods, a four-time winner who had his worst tournament as a professional last week, birdied his last two for an even-par 72. He is tied for 31st place at three-under 213, a full 10 shots behind Watney.

Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, struggled to a one-over 73 and is tied for 48th at minus-one.

The tournament is back on track after lengthy fog delays on Thursday and Friday. The second round was completed Saturday morning, then, with players in threesomes off both the first and 10th tees, the third round was completed on time.

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.
