Tennis Betting Lines

08/01/2007 - Sopot, Poland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reigning two-time runner-up Florian Mayer was among Wednesday's second-round winners at the clay-court Orange Prokom Open.

The seventh-seeded Mayer improved to 10-2 in his last 12 matches in Sopot by leveling French qualifier Olivier Patience 6-1, 6-1. The German Mayer was on the losing end in the last two finals here, including a setback last season at the hands of this week's top seed Nikolay Davydenko.

In other Day-3 action, Argentine slugger Jose Acasuso erased his countryman Sergio Roitman 6-4, 6-4, Frenchman Gilles Simon held off Serbian qualifier Boris Pashanski 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 and Russian Igor Andreev topped Polish wild card Michal Przysiezny 7-5, 6-4 at SKT Sopot. The 2002 titlist and 2004 runner-up Acasuso will play in his first quarterfinal in more than three months when he faces Mayer here on Friday. Simon will battle Andreev in the round of eight.

The second round will conclude with four more matches on Thursday, including one for the reigning champ Davydenko and second-seeded and former titlist Tommy Robredo of Spain. Davydenko will encounter Argentine Martin Vassallo Arguello, while the 2001 winner Robredo will take on Belgian Steve Darcis, who captured his first career ATP title in The Netherlands two weeks ago.

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.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
