Day takes 1-shot lead at Deutsche Bank
Golf Betting Lines
09/05/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australia's Jason Day fired a five-under 66 on Sunday to take a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker after the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Chasing his second win of the season, and looking to make a big jump in the playoffs standings, Day birdied the 18th hole and tied the 54-hole tournament scoring record at 17-under 196.
Snedeker knocked his second shot at the 18th hole into a hazard short of the green, took a one-stroke penalty, then chipped-in for a closing par to shoot a 67.
After sharing the 36-hole lead with Day, Snedeker dropped one shot back at 16- under 197 with a Labor Day finish looming at the TPC Boston.
England's Luke Donald fired a 66 to move into third place at 15-under 198.
Defending champion Steve Stricker had a 67 and was tied with Charley Hoffman (69) at 13-under 200.
Phil Mickelson also shot a 67, chipping in for a birdie on the 15th hole, and moved into a four-way tie at 12-under 201 that also included Geoff Ogilvy (65), Adam Scott (65) and Charlie Wi (67).
Tiger Woods made three birdies in a four-hole span on the front nine, but cooled off for a 69 that moved him into a tie for 23rd place at seven-under 206.
Woods finished on a high note when he muscled a chip shot out of the rough behind the 18th green, landed it on the fringe and got it to roll within inches of the hole to set up a closing birdie.
It was his fourth birdie of the round, but first since No. 7. In the 10-hole span in between, Woods made two bogeys.
In addition to the FedEx Cup drama, there are the added implications Monday's finish will have on the No. 1 world ranking. Both Mickelson and Stricker have a chance to pass Woods for the top spot.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINES
NFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
