Golf Betting Lines

06/20/2010 - Porthcawl, Wales (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Bland carded a one-under 71 Sunday to earn a one-stroke win over two players at the Wales Seniors Open.

Bland finished at eight-under-par 208 and he was one shot clear of Angel Franco (70) and Chris Williams (72).

Gordon Brand, Jr., took fourth at minus-five at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club after faltering to a three-over 75 Sunday.

Bland stumbled to a bogey on the second, but he atoned for that error with a birdie on the fourth. He jumped to nine-under with an eagle on the par-five fifth.

The South African tripped to another bogey on the ninth, but he came right back with a birdie on the 10th. Bland dropped another stroke at the 13th, but moved back to nine-under with a birdie on the 17th.

Bland closed with a bogey at the last, but it was enough for his third win on the European Senior Tour.

Bob Boyd (73) and Peter Fowler (74) shared fifth place at four-under-par 212. Second-round leader Bob Cameron struggled to a six-over 78. He tumbled into a share of seventh at minus-three. He ended alongside David Merriman (68) and Andrew Oldcorn (69).

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
