Golf Betting Lines

07/30/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jim Furyk moved back to No. 2 in the latest Official World Golf Ranking following his win Sunday at the Canadian Open.

Furyk's last two wins have come at the Canadian Open. He moved past Phil Mickelson to take the second slot behind top-ranked Tiger Woods, but there was only one other change to the top 20.

Niclas Fasth, one of the steadiest players in the world this year, moved up two places to No. 20 this week, bumping Stewart Cink down a spot.

Andres Romero was also a mover. A week after his surprising third-place finish at the British Open, the Argentine won the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship on the European Tour and moved up 22 places to 29th in the rankings.

The top 10 were: Woods, Furyk, Mickelson, Ernie Els, Adam Scott, British Open champion Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson and Geoff Ogilvy.

Luke Donald, K.J. Choi, Steve Stricker, Retief Goosen, Masters champion Zach Johnson, Rory Sabbatini, U.S. Open winner Angel Cabrera, Paul Casey, Trevor Immelman and Fasth rounded out the top 20.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
