Inkster, Miyazato share lead in SingaporeGolf Betting Lines02/27/2010 - Singapore (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juli Inkster and Ai Miyazato both carded three- under 69s Saturday and they share the lead after three rounds of the HSBC Women's Champions. Inkster and Miyazato completed 54 holes at seven-under-par 209. If Inkster goes on to victory, she would be the LPGA Tour's oldest-ever winner. For Miyazato, it would be her second win in a row as she claimed the season- opening Honda PTT LPGA Thailand last weekend. Momoko Ueda matched the low round of the day with her four-under 68. She climbed into a share of third place at five-under-par 211. Ueda was joined there by Hee Young Park (69), Sun Young Yoo (71) and Hee-Won Han (71). Second-round leaders Angela Stanford and Song-Hee Kim both struggled on Saturday. Stanford birdied the 18th to shoot two-over 74, which dropped her into a share of 10th at three-under-par 213. Kim was one stroke back at minus- two after faltering to a three-over 75 at Tanah Merah Country Club. Inkster got her round going with a birdie on the second. However, she gave that stroke back when she bogeyed the par-four fourth. The World Golf Hall of Fame member birdied the par-three eighth to grab a share of the lead. She took over the top spot on the leaderboard with a birdie on the par-three 11th. Inkster parred her next three holes. At the par-five 15th, she converted another birdie chance to grab a two-stroke lead. Inkster was caught by Miyazato as she parred the final three holes. If Inkster wins, she would be 49 years, eight months and four days old. Beth Daniel currently owns the mark for oldest winner on the LPGA Tour as she won the 2003 Canadian Women's Open at the age of 45 years, eight months and 29 days. Miyazato had a quick start to her round with birdies on one and two. She gave one shot back with a bogey on the third, but atoned for that error with a birdie on the fifth. That birdie gave Miyazato a one-stroke lead of Kim. Miyazato stumbled to a bogey on the ninth and dropped into a share of the lead. She remained at minus-five as she parred the first six holes of the back nine. At the short par-four 16th, Miyazato made eagle to jump into a share of the lead with Inkster at seven-under. She parred her final two holes to end there. Cristie Kerr (71), Suzann Pettersen (72) and Yani Tseng (71) share seventh place at four-under-par 212. NOTES: Defending champion Jiyai Shin managed an even-par 72 and is tied for 15th at minus-two, where she stands alongside Michelle Wie (69) and seven others...Women's world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa struggled again as she shot one-over 73 and completed 54 holes at plus-four...There was no cut in this event.

FOOTBALL BETTINGAfter all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer. Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise. Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games. So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver. In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team. For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC. The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’. The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs.
MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
