08/25/2010 - University Place, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Wilson struggled to a three-over 74 Tuesday, but still claimed medalist honors at the U.S. Amateur.

A day after scorching the Home Course for a 10-under 62, Wilson was unable to break par in the second round of stroke play. He finished the two stroke-play rounds at seven-under-par 136.

The next three players on the leaderboard all played the Home Course on Tuesday. Patrick Cantlay fired a five-under 67, while Patrick Rodgers posted a four-under 68 to share second at minus-six.

Andres Echavarria shot a 68 of his own on the Home Course and Justin Thomas shot 69 at Chambers Bay. They tied for fourth place at three-under-par 140.

Eric Chun was the final player in red figures at minus-one after carding a 69 on the Home Course.

The first and second rounds were both completed on Tuesday after darkness halted play on Monday.

Defending champion Byeong-Hun An advanced to match play as he tied for 40th place at plus-four after struggling to a six-over 77 at Chambers Bay, which will host the match-play portion of the championship starting Wednesday.

Other notable players advancing to the match-play portion were Brad Benjamin, the 2009 U.S. Amateur Public Links champion; Drew Kittleson, the 2008 runner- up; and reigning NCAA Division I individual champion Scott Langley.

Nathan Smith, the 2009 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, finished at plus-six and will be among a 16-for-6 playoff that will be completed on Wednesday morning.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
