Day takes 1-shot lead at Deutsche Bank

Golf Betting Lines

09/05/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australia's Jason Day fired a five-under 66 on Sunday to take a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker after the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Chasing his second win of the season, and looking to make a big jump in the playoffs standings, Day birdied the 18th hole and tied the 54-hole tournament scoring record at 17-under 196.

Snedeker knocked his second shot at the 18th hole into a hazard short of the green, took a one-stroke penalty, then chipped-in for a closing par to shoot a 67.

After sharing the 36-hole lead with Day, Snedeker dropped one shot back at 16- under 197 with a Labor Day finish looming at the TPC Boston.

England's Luke Donald fired a 66 to move into third place at 15-under 198.

Defending champion Steve Stricker had a 67 and was tied with Charley Hoffman (69) at 13-under 200.

Phil Mickelson also shot a 67, chipping in for a birdie on the 15th hole, and moved into a four-way tie at 12-under 201 that also included Geoff Ogilvy (65), Adam Scott (65) and Charlie Wi (67).

Tiger Woods made three birdies in a four-hole span on the front nine, but cooled off for a 69 that moved him into a tie for 23rd place at seven-under 206.

Woods finished on a high note when he muscled a chip shot out of the rough behind the 18th green, landed it on the fringe and got it to roll within inches of the hole to set up a closing birdie.

It was his fourth birdie of the round, but first since No. 7. In the 10-hole span in between, Woods made two bogeys.

In addition to the FedEx Cup drama, there are the added implications Monday's finish will have on the No. 1 world ranking. Both Mickelson and Stricker have a chance to pass Woods for the top spot.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
