Weibring one up on Thorpe at 3M Championship
Golf Betting Lines
08/05/2007 - Blaine, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Weibring fired a six-under 66 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the 3M Championship.
Weibring completed 36 holes at 13-under-par 131. His 131 matched the 36-hole scoring record that Ed Dougherty set in 2000.
Jim Thorpe, who shared the lead after one round with Tom Jenkins, posted a four-under 69 Saturday. Thorpe is alone in second place at minus-12.
Jenkins carded a two-under 70 and is two shots back at 10-under-par 134. He stands alongside John Harris, Senior British Open champion Tom Watson and Curtis Strange.
Weibring was steady to start his round with birdies on two and six, both from inside 15 feet, that moved him to minus-nine. He stumbled to his lone bogey, a three-putt bogey, on the seventh at TPC of Twin Cities.
The three-time winner on the Champions Tour fought back around the turn with birdies on 11 and 13.
Weibring converted back-to-back birdies from the 15th to jump to minus-12. He closed with a kick-in birdie at the last hole to end one clear of Thorpe.
"It was a challenging day out there," said Weibring, of the breezy, rainy conditions. "I hit the ball solid today. Whenever you shoot 31 on the back nine, especially in tough conditions, it gives you a good feeling."
Thorpe traded a birdie for a bogey from the fourth. He birdied the par-five sixth from 10 feet out and made it two in a row with a 20-foot birdie putt at the seventh.
The 58-year-old Thorpe parred four straight around the turn. He ran off three birdies in a four-hole span from the 12th to take the lead at 13-under.
However, Thorpe faltered to a double-bogey at the par-four 16th to slide to 11-under. His drive found water left of the fairway, then his third shot plugged under the lip of a greenside bunker.
Thorpe got back within one of Weibring as he two-putted for birdie at the last to finish at 12-under.
"The course was much tougher today. I played well, but the wind blew hard," said Thorpe. "The course played much longer today. There are still lots of people in this tournament. I need to shoot seven-under on Sunday to have a chance to win."
Bruce Lietzke (68), John Jacobs (70) and Craig Stadler (70) share seventh place at nine-under-par 135. Keith Fergus, Senior PGA Championship winner Denis Watson, Bobby Wadkins and Jay Haas are one stroke further back.

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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
