Golf Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lion Kim and David McDaniel will meet in the final of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship after both players squeezed out a pair of 1-up victories on Friday.

Indeed, all six matches contested Friday on the Champions Course at Bryan Park were decided by 1-up scores. And half of them went extra holes.

In the semifinals, Kim rallied for a 1-up victory over Kevin Phelan after falling 2-down through 12 holes. A 21-year-old from Ann Arbor, Mich., Kim won the 13th with a par and then squared the match with an eagle at the par-five 15th.

He moved 1-up with a par at the 16th, then halved the last two holes with Phelan as both players closed with back-to-back birdies.

In the other semifinal, McDaniel rallied from a 3-down deficit after six holes against Josh Anderson. The 25-year-old from Tucson, Ariz., didn't take his first lead until a par at the 14th moved him 1-up.

McDaniel held on to that advantage over the last four holes to set up a meeting with Kim in Saturday's 36-hole match play final.

They will begin their first 18 holes at 7 a.m. (et).

All of the morning quarterfinal matches also ended in 1-up victories, with three of the four going extra holes.

Kim led for 16 of the 18 holes in his match against Chris Williams. After Williams squared the match with a par at the 16th, Kim took the lead for good with a par at the 17th. He earned a 1-up win after both players parred the 18th.

McDaniel trailed for much of the back nine against Harris English, but birdied the 17th to square the match. McDaniel won with a par on their 19th hole.

Phelan was never ahead in his match against Wesley Graham until he won the 21st hole for a 1-up victory. Phelan parred the 18th to square the match and send it to extra holes.

Anderson was behind for 10 of the first 17 holes against Darren Wallace. He squared the match with a birdie at the 18th, then earned his 1-up win with a par on the first extra hole.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
