Hoffman rolls to big win at Deutsche Bank

Golf Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Charley Hoffman fired a nine-under 62 Monday to roll to a five-stroke win at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Hoffman, wearing his Celtic green, missed the course record at the TPC Boston by a single stroke, but did match the tournament's scoring record of 22-under- par 262.

The victory was Hoffman's second on the PGA Tour. He also won the 2007 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Geoff Ogilvy closed with a five-under 66 to end in a share of second place at 17-under-par 267. He was joined there by Luke Donald (69) and third-round leader Jason Day, who managed an even-par 71 in the final round.

Tiger Woods closed with a three-under 68 to finish tied for 11th at 10-under- par 274.

Phil Mickelson again could have passed Woods at the top of the world rankings, but struggled badly on the back nine. Mickelson shot five-over 76 to slide into a share of 25th at minus-seven.

Woods was even-par for his round through 14 holes, with just one birdie and one bogey. He caught fire down the stretch though. Woods birdied three of the last four holes to post three-under 68.

For Woods, it marked the first time he had three straight rounds in the 60s since the 2009 Tour Championship.

However, he finished outside the top-10 for the sixth straight event. That marks the first time that has ever happened in his PGA Tour career. He had finished outside the top-10 seven times in eight starts in 2001, but the one time in the top-10 was a victory at the WGC-NEC Invitational.

Mickelson needed a top-four finish to pass Woods atop the world rankings, but had a birdie, two bogeys, a double-bogey and a triple-bogey on the back nine en route to his 76. That dropped him 14 spots behind Woods on the leaderboard.

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. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
