Mickelson bounces back with a 68Golf Betting Lines04/10/2009 - Augusta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After struggling to a one-over 73 on Thursday, Phil Mickelson bounced back with a four-under 68 Friday to move into share of 11th at three-under-par 141 after two rounds of the Masters. Mickelson was well off the pace after opening with that 73. His comeback started with a birdie on the second. He gave that shot back with a bogey on the par-three sixth. He stumbled to another bogey on the par-four 11th to dip to plus-two and was in danger of missing the cut. However, Mickelson flew up the leaderboard from there. After making birdie on 12 to get back to the cut line, Mickelson nearly holed his approach at the par-five 13th. He kicked in a short eagle putt to jump to minus-one. "When that one went in, that gave me a little bit of momentum," said Mickelson of his birdie putt on 12. "I hit a great drive on 13 and knocked down that pin." Mickelson knocked his second over the green at the par-five 15th. He hit a stellar flop shot within a few feet of the hole. The two-time Masters champion tapped in for birdie. At the closing hole, Mickelson drained a birdie effort from just inside 20 feet to finish at minus-three, six back of the leaders. "I feel like I put myself within six shots of the lead, a spot where a good round tomorrow can get me into contention on Sunday," Mickelson said. Mickelson, who has two wins this season, improved his driving on Friday hitting 10 fairways after only hitting six on Thursday.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDSNFL 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. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
