Golf Betting Lines

06/13/2007 - Far Hills, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The United States Golf Association announced that Pinehurst will host the 2014 U.S. Open championship

The revered North Carolina course has hosted eight USGA championships, including two Opens in 1999 and 2005.

"Pinehurst is proud to continue our championship legacy with the USGA," said Robert Dedman, Jr., CEO of Pinehurst. "One hundred years after No. 2 opened, it continues to be a test for all golfers. We look forward to hosting our national championship for the third time in 15 years, and continuing the partnership to make it the most outstanding U.S. Open in history."

The 2014 US Open will be played from June 12-15.

"The USGA is excited to return to North Carolina and the classic setting of Pinehurst, the site of two successful Opens in the past eight years," said Jim Hyler, chairman of the USGA championship committee. "The previous championships at Pinehurst No. 2 featured exceptional play and incredible support from the community, which truly embraced its role as host. The course provides a stern but fair test for our national championship and lends itself nicely to the scope of all operational aspects. We believe the 2014 Open at Pinehurst will be another great experience."

After this year's Open in Oakmont, PA, the event will be played at Torrey Pines Golf Club in San Diego, CA in 2008; at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, NY in 2009; at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, CA in 2010; at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, MD in 2011; at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, CA in 2012; and at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA in 2013.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
