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.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow 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. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
