Kelly leads by one in New Orleans

Golf Betting Lines

04/24/2009 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jerry Kelly fired a six-under 66 Friday to take a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Kelly, a two-time winner during the 2002 season, completed 36 holes at 10- under-par 134. This is the fourth time Kelly has owned a piece of the 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour. He did not hold any of the previous three leads.

"I'm coming off just a bad few years it seems like," Kelly admitted. "I haven't really had that kind of comfort factor. It was just really comfortable out there the last couple of days."

Charley Hoffman (66) and Troy Matteson (64) share second place at minus-nine. Matteson's 64 matched the course record that Kyle Reifers set last year. Local favorite and 2001 winner David Toms (68) leads a group of five players tied for fourth at eight-under-par 136.

Kelly opened his round with a birdie on the first. He moved to minus-six as he birdied the par-five seventh. Kelly dropped in back-to-back birdie efforts from the 10th.

The Wisconsin native converted a birdie try on the 14th and made it two in a row as he birdied the 15th at the TPC Louisiana.

Kelly, who has two top-10s this year, both of which came in opposite events, stumbled to a bogey at 16, but recovered that stroke with a birdie on the 18th.

"My game hasn't been there for a while. The timing of my game hasn't been there," said Kelly. "I felt like my game was there, but I haven't put anything together. I chipped well, putted well, drove the ball pretty good, and my iron shots were pretty good. So things are coming together, it's gelling."

Hoffman, the 2007 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic winner, played the back nine first and ran off three straight birdies from the 12th to jump to minus-six.

After a birdie on 18, he tripped to a bogey on the first. Hoffman birdied the second, but gave that shot right back as he faltered to another bogey on the third.

Hoffman birdied the fourth to move to seven-under. He birdied the seventh and eighth to finish one behind Kelly.

"I putted good today. I had a couple of wayward iron shots in the middle of the round on one and three. But besides that, I did pretty well," Hoffman said.

Matteson also played the back nine first and with his opening nine, he had a chance at shooting 59. He birdied four of five holes from the 11th to leap to minus-five.

The 2006 Frys.com Open winner birdied the 17th and then the first to get to seven-under.

Matteson, who has missed the cut in five of his last eight starts, tripped to a bogey on the third, but quickly bounced back with a birdie on the fourth. His last scoring came on the seventh, where he made eagle on the par-five.

Toms was joined in fourth place at minus-eight by John Merrick (69), John Rollins (67), first-round leader Charlie Wi (70), Charles Howell III (69) and Parker McLachlin (69).

Andres Romero, last year's winner, was disqualified after the second round for signing an incorrect scorecard.

The cut line fell at one-under-par 143 with 72 players moving on to the weekend. Among those who missed the cut were Mark Calcavecchia (144), Rich Beem (144), Mike Weir (145), Bubba Watson (145), Jason Gore (147) and Danny Lee (151). Lee was playing his first event as a professional.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
