Shin replaces Miyazato as women's No. 1

Golf Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jiyai Shin replaced Ai Miyazato atop the world rankings for women's golf following her win Sunday at the lucrative Evian Masters.

Shin birdied the 18th hole for a one-shot victory over three players, assuming the No. 1 ranking for the second time this season.

The 22-year-old South Korean is one of three players who have been No. 1 since Lorena Ochoa's retirement. Shin took over the top spot on the day Ochoa played her farewell round and still had it when she withdrew the Wednesday of the State Farm Classic to have an emergency appendectomy.

Since then, Miyazato and Cristie Kerr have exchanged the top ranking with Shin dropping all the way back to No. 4 at the beginning of last week, behind Suzann Pettersen.

With her win in France over one of the best non-major fields in women's golf, Shin moved up three places to re-gain the No. 1 ranking. Miyazato, Kerr and Pettersen slipped one spot apiece, while Yani Tseng remained No. 5 this week.

The next nine places in the rankings also remained unchanged, with Na Yeon Choi, Paula Creamer, Anna Nordqvist, Song-Hee Kim, Karrie Webb, In Kyung Kim, Michelle Wie, Angela Stanford and Inbee Park occupying positions 6-14 again.

Morgan Pressel, one of the runners-up to Shin, moved up two places to No. 15, bumping Sakura Yokomine and Mi-Jeong Jeon down one spot apiece. Pressel missed a shorter birdie putt than Shin's on the 18th hole to squander a chance to force a playoff.

Chie Arimura and Catriona Matthew remained 18th and 19th and Sun Ju Ahn moved up one place to round out the top 20 following a good showing in France. Matthew will defend her title at this week's Women's British Open.

Alexis Thompson, the 15-year-old rising star, also finished as a runner-up to Shin on Sunday and vaulted 75 places to No. 74 this week. Thompson was trying to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history by almost three years.

Choi was the other runner-up to Shin in France.

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.
