Snedeker joins Day in Deutsche Bank lead
Golf Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandt Snedeker fired a seven-under 64 Saturday to join Jason Day in the lead after 36 holes of the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second of four FedExCup series playoff events.
Day, who shared the first-round lead with Zach Johnson, shot four-under 67 in round two. Day and Snedeker completed two rounds at 12-under-par 130.
Matt Kuchar, who leads the FedExCup points race, carded a six-under 65 to move into a share of third at minus-11. He was joined there by Charley Hoffman, who shot 67 Saturday.
Luke Donald also posted a 67 to move into fifth place at 10-under-par 132.
The top two players in the world rankings -- Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson -- both shot six-under 65 Saturday. Woods shares 29th at minus-five, while Mickelson is tied for eighth at the TPC Boston at eight-under-par 134.
The tournament remains on schedule as the effects of Hurricane Earl moved by the course without much fanfare. The wind was up on Saturday, but the course received less than a half-inch of rain.
The field lost another player on Saturday as Chad Campbell was disqualified before he teed off in the second round. Tournament officials realized Friday evening that Campbell never register on-site, which is cause for disqualification.
Campbell entered the event 83rd on the FedExCup points list, and therefore is out of the final two playoff events because of the disqualification.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS
NFL 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.
