Golf Betting Lines
08/04/2008 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NCAA Player of the Year Amanda Blumenherst crafted a six-under-par 66 to take the first round lead during the stroke play portion of the 108th U.S. Women's Amateur at Eugene Country Club.
Two days of stroke play will cut a field of 156 to 64 players and sort them by seed for five rounds of match play beginning Wednesday.
Blumenherst knows how this process works, finishing as the runner-up at last year's U.S. Women's Amateur. The decorated three-time reigning NCAA Player of the Year from Duke played her last nine holes at five-under, draining back-to- back snakes for birdie to close out her afternoon.
Westford, Massachusetts star Alison Walshe traveled across the country to post a four-under-par 68. A pair of international amateur stars, Australia's Stephanie Na and Canada's Stephanie Sherlock, each shot rounds of three-under- par 68.
In all, 10 players broke par and 16 posted par-or-better rounds at Eugene Country Club. One of those was Walshe, who starred for the United States at the Curtis Cup and finished a respectable 31st at the United States Women's Open this June.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
