07/17/2010 - Tahoe, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Billy Joe Tolliver, the former NFL quarterback, netted 33 points on Saturday in the modified Stableford scoring system to take the second-round lead of the American Century Championship.
Tolliver finished two rounds at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Club with 58 points and set two records on Saturday.
First, his 33 points on Saturday were the most in a single day in tournament history. A player receives 10 points for a double-eagle, eight for an ace, six for an eagle, three for a birdie and one for a par. They receive zero points for a bogey and lose two for double-bogey or worse.
The second record is Tolliver's lead. He is 11 points ahead of actor Jack Wagner, who recorded 21 points on Saturday, and that margin is the largest in tournament history after 36 holes.
Tolliver won this title in 1996 and 2005.
Former NHL player Dan Quinn amassed 23 points on Saturday and is third with 46 points. Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway picked up 25 points and is fourth with 45. Pitcher John Smoltz also got 25 points in round two and has fifth with 41 points.
Jeremy Roenick, the hockey player and first-round co-leader with Wagner, tallied only 14 points on Saturday, but he is tied for sixth place with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who had 19 points in the second round. The pair is knotted with 40 points.
Eight-time winner and two-time defending champion Rick Rhoden only managed 14 points and is tied for 13th place with 35 points.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
