Allan and Mallinger lead in Canada

Golf Betting Lines

07/28/2007 - Markham, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Steve Allan and John Mallinger are tied atop the leaderboard after Friday's second round of the Canadian Open at Angus Glen Golf Club.

Allan shot a three-under 68 while Mallinger fired a five-under 66 to finish 36 holes at 10-under-par 132.

Vijay Singh, the 2004 champion, posted a six-under 65 to vault into contention. He is tied for third place with Tripp Isenhour, who shot a 68 on Friday. The pair is knotted at nine-under-par 133.

Allan flew up the leaderboard early on Friday with a birdie at the third hole. He rattled off back-to-back birdies at six and seven and found himself atop the leaderboard at minus-10.

The Australian cruised along with six consecutive pars, but found trouble at the par-three 14th. Allan's ball came to rest in a bunker, where he blasted out 25 feet past the hole. He missed the par putt, but atoned for the error with a two-putt birdie at the par-five 14th.

Allan appeared to be in decent shape at the par-four 16th after he hit the fairway off the tee. His approach came up 30 feet short, but the problem came with his birdie putt. Allan left his birdie try five feet short and the 33 year old missed the par save.

Just like after his earlier bogey, Allan wasted little time in getting the stroke back. He hit a spectacular tee shot to inches to set up a tap-in birdie at the 17th.

Allan had some trouble with his approach at 18, missing left. He pitched to 10 feet and calmly holed the par putt to stay in a tie for the lead, his second 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour.

"One of my biggest faults in the past has been getting ahead of myself, so I definitely have to take it one shot at a time," said Allan, whose other second-round lead came at the 2004 Sony Open in Hawaii. "I'll probably try not to look at any leaderboards over the weekend, and just play as good as I can."

Mallinger, a 27-year-old Californian, began on the back nine Friday and wasted little time in breaking into red figures. He birdied the par-five 11th and added birdies at 15 and 17.

He sputtered a bit at the start of the second nine with six straight pars, but suddenly found himself one shot behind Allan after a three-footer for birdie at the seventh.

Mallinger played a good tee ball into the par-three eighth and converted for birdie from 13 feet. He had a 22-footer at the last to take first by himself, but missed the putt.

Still Mallinger has a share of the second-round lead for the first time. He has done it with some strong iron play considering he has missed only five fairways and six greens in regulation.

"I went home the last couple of weeks before Milwaukee, and just really worked on some drills with my golf coach," said Mallinger. "And my driving has been great this week. I think when you drive it well out here, you get some good looks at the pins."

Ryan Palmer (67) and Michael Putnam (68) are knotted in fifth place at minus- eight.

Defending champion Jim Furyk (66), Brandt Snedeker (68), Cliff Kresge (65) and Doug LaBelle II (68) are tied for seventh place at seven-under-par 135.

Overnight leader Hunter Mahan struggled on Friday. He posted a three-over-par 74 and fell into a tie for 11th place at minus-six.

The 36-hole cut fell at one-under-par 141 and among the notable players to miss the weekend were 2002 champion John Rollins (142), Kevin Stadler (143) and last week's winner in Milwaukee, Joe Ogilvie (146).

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.
