Inclement weather ends Saturday at PGA

Golf Betting Lines

08/09/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inclement weather at Oakland Hills forced the suspension of play for the day Saturday during the third round of the PGA Championship.

J.B. Holmes stayed atop the leaderboard, but has not teed off in his third round. He is the only player under par for the championship and is one ahead of Charlie Wi, playing in his first major, 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis and Justin Rose.

Steve Flesch is two-under through five holes and is tied for fifth place at plus-one for the tournament. David Toms, the 2001 champion, and Henrik Stenson have yet to tee off in round three at the same score.

The third round will resume at 7:15 a.m. (et) Sunday. The plan is to complete the third round around 11:50 a.m., then the players will be sent out in threesomes off both the first and 10th tees for the final round.

That is, of course, if there are no weather stoppages on Sunday. There is some rain in the forecast and the possibility of the fourth Monday finish in PGA Championship history since it went to stroke play looms large.

Phil Mickelson won the last Monday finish three years ago at Baltusrol. He knocked his drive at the par-four sixth to seven feet and is in good shape for an eagle.

Mickelson stands at three-over par for the championship, but with an eagle early Sunday morning, he could get within two shots of the lead.

Andres Romero is the leader in the clubhouse after a five-under 65 on Saturday. He finished 54 holes at two-over 212 and headlines a group tied for eighth.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
