Tennis Betting Lines

04/09/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seed Chilean Fernando Gonzalez and former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt moved into the quarterfinals at the $500,000 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship, but second-seeded American John Isner was upset on Thursday.

Gonzalez, who titled here 10 years ago, outlasted South African qualifier Kevin Anderson, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on the final match of the night Thursday.

The fourth-seeded and reigning Houston champion Hewitt outlasted Indian lucky- loser Somdev Devvarman 1-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) in the second round at River Oaks Country Club. Hewitt prevailed in 1 hour, 53 minutes.

This marked Hewitt's first action since late January after undergoing right hip surgery. The Aussie star previously had surgery on his left hip.

The Hewitt-Devvarman match was rained out here on Wednesday.

The two-time major champion Hewitt, who enjoyed an opening-round bye this week, defeated American Wayne Odesnik in last year's finale here.

Hewitt's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be dangerous Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela.

Belgian Xavier Malisse upended Isner, 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3) in a 2 1/2 hour encounter. Isner lost despite firing 14 aces.

Third-seeded American Sam Querrey eased into the quarters with a 6-2, 6-1 drubbing of Slovenian Blaz Kavcic. Querrey smacked six aces, notched four service breaks, and held his serve throughout the brief 60-minute affair.

The 6-foot-6 Querrey will meet Chilean veteran Nicolas Massu in the round of eight.

The aforementioned Odesnik advanced here on Day 4 with a 6-1, 7-5 decision against Russian Mikhail Kukushkin.

In other second-round play, sixth-seeded Argentine Horacio Zeballos handled Israeli Dudi Sela 6-3, 6-2. Zeballos will next meet Gonzalez, while Malisse meets Odesnik.

The 2010 Houston winner will earn $79,900.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).
