Tolliver in record book at American Century Championship

Golf Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - Tahoe, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Billy Joe Tolliver, the former NFL quarterback, netted 33 points on Saturday in the modified Stableford scoring system to take the second-round lead of the American Century Championship.

Tolliver finished two rounds at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Club with 58 points and set two records on Saturday.

First, his 33 points on Saturday were the most in a single day in tournament history. A player receives 10 points for a double-eagle, eight for an ace, six for an eagle, three for a birdie and one for a par. They receive zero points for a bogey and lose two for double-bogey or worse.

The second record is Tolliver's lead. He is 11 points ahead of actor Jack Wagner, who recorded 21 points on Saturday, and that margin is the largest in tournament history after 36 holes.

Tolliver won this title in 1996 and 2005.

Former NHL player Dan Quinn amassed 23 points on Saturday and is third with 46 points. Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway picked up 25 points and is fourth with 45. Pitcher John Smoltz also got 25 points in round two and has fifth with 41 points.

Jeremy Roenick, the hockey player and first-round co-leader with Wagner, tallied only 14 points on Saturday, but he is tied for sixth place with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who had 19 points in the second round. The pair is knotted with 40 points.

Eight-time winner and two-time defending champion Rick Rhoden only managed 14 points and is tied for 13th place with 35 points.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
