Herman bests Kirk in Moonah Classic playoffGolf Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Victoria, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jim Herman owned at least a share of the lead after each of the first three rounds, but needed an extra hole Sunday to walk off with the title at the Moonah Classic. Herman birdied the first playoff hole to defeat his third-round co-leader Chris Kirk to claim his first Nationwide Tour title. "I am overwhelmed. I've been waiting for this to happen for a long time, a professional win," admitted Herman, who earned $126,000 for the victory. "I've won on a couple of other levels, but not this high a level." Herman, who had missed seven straight cuts dating to the end of last season, and Kirk both closed with two-under 70s to finish at 11-under-par 277. They returned to the 18th hole for the playoff and Herman converted a six-foot birdie putt to become the season's second first-time winner. "I am just so pleased with how I hung in today," said Herman. "I take my hat off to Chris, he played fabulous all week. Today, he played great, but he let me back in on 16 and 17 and I took advantage of it." Last week's winner, Robert Gates, closed with a six-under 66 on the Open Course at Moonah Links to miss the playoff by a single stroke at minus-10. Jarrod Lyle, who defeated Kirk in playoff at the 2008 Knoxville Open, shot four-under 68 to share fourth place with Tag Ridings (67) at nine-under 279. Kirk looked as though he was going to collect his first Nationwide Tour title as he led by two shots with three holes to go. However, he stumbled to bogeys on 16 and 17 to drop into a share of the lead with Herman. They parred the par-five 18th and it was off to the playoff. The 24-year-old Kirk grabbed the early lead with birdies on two and four. Herman stumbled to a bogey on five, but Kirk's lead was still two over Lyle. Herman rebounded with a birdie on the sixth and he later birdied the ninth to get within one. Kirk parred nine consecutive holes from the fifth and Herman made five straight pars from the 10th. Kirk pushed his cushion back to two with a birdie on 14 before they both birdied the par-five 15th. Kirk stumbled into the clubhouse for his second playoff loss on the Nationwide Tour. Manuel Villegas closed with a five-under 67 to take sixth at eight-under-par 280. Andrew Dodt (70) was one stroke back at minus-seven. Jeff Brehaut (68) and Martin Piller (68) shared eighth at minus-six. NOTES: Alistair Presnell, the 2009 winner, stumbled to a one-over 73 to share 15th place at minus-four...The Nationwide Tour is off the next two weeks before returning to action at the Panama Championship, where Vance Veazey won last year.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though. Arizona 20-1 To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your Sportsbook betting needs.
Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
