Golf Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Geoffrey Sisk was atop the leaderboard Friday when the second round of the inaugural Mylan Classic was suspended due to darkness.

Sisk, one of two first-round leaders, was minus-four for his round and 10- under par for the tournament when play was called for the day.

There was a 80-minute weather delay that halted action. The second round was suspended for the night by darkness at 7:50 p.m. (et) and will resume Saturday at 7:45 a.m.

Dave Schultz was six-under through 17 holes to climb into second place at minus-eight.

PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate, a native of nearby Greensburg, Pa., is one of five players that shares the clubhouse lead at six-under-par 136.

Mediate, who is making his first career start in a Nationwide Tour event, shot two-under 69 and was joined in third place by Jason Gore (67), Chris Nallen (67), Kevin Kisner (68) and Mark Anderson (68).

Steve Wheatcroft, who grew up 10 minutes from Southpointe Golf Club, is also minus-six and has one hole left in his second round.

Sisk started his round with a pair of pars before chipping in for his first birdie on the par-three third. After the weather delay, he got to eight-under with a birdie on the sixth.

The 45-year-old Sisk birdied the par-five eighth to move to minus-nine. He parred three straight around the turn.

Sisk dropped in a birdie effort on the par-three 12th. He parred the next three holes before play was halted for the night.

"I was a little nervous starting off because I just haven't been in this position in a while," said Sisk. "I hit some good shots the first three holes. The wind was very tricky to start the day, but I managed to calm down."

Canadian David Hearn is one of seven players tied for ninth at minus-five.

Scott Dunlap, who shared the first-round lead with Sisk, stumbled to a two- over 73 to slide into a share of 18th at minus-four.

NOTES: Tommy Gainey, who could earn an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour with a win, shot 73 to fall into a share of 27th...Arnold Palmer's grandson, Sam Saunders, is playing on a sponsor's exemption. Saunders was five-over after 13 holes to slide to plus-four overall, which left him tied for 104th...Twenty-seven players need to complete their second rounds on Saturday.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
