Berdych advances; Querrey ousted in DCTennis Betting Lines08/05/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Tomas Berdych was a second-round winner on Wednesday, while American Sam Querrey was ousted from the $1.402 million Legg Mason Tennis Classic, a hardcourt U.S. Open Series event. Berdych, who was last month's Wimbledon runner-up to Rafael Nadal, posted a 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-1 victory over Russian Dmitry Tursunov at the Fitzgerald Tennis Center. The Czech will next face 16th-seeded Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan after he downed Belgian Kristof Vliegen in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6 (9-7). The sixth-seeded Querrey, meanwhile, was defeated by Serbian Janko Tipsarevic, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3. Querrey, a four-time champion on the ATP World Tour this season, was last week's big winner in Los Angeles. Tipsarevic's next opponent will be Colombian Alejandro Falla, who moved on when 11th-seeded Australian Lleyton Hewitt retired with a right calf injury trailing 7-5, 3-2. The former world No. 1 Hewitt was the D.C. titlist back in 2004. David Nalbandian of Argentina handled seventh-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 6-1, 6-3 to set up a third-round meeting with another native of Switzerland in Marco Chiudinelli, who beat 10th-seeded Czech Radek Stepanek by the same 6-1, 6-3 score. Additionally, Ukrainian Illya Marchenko knocked out ninth-seeded Latvian Ernests Gulbis 6-1, 1-0. The heat forced Gulbis to retire. Marchenko will next take on eighth-seeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, who outlasted Argentina's Horacio Zeballos 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5). The 2010 Legg Mason champion will pocket $261,500.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit CardsMichael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football. As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL. The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago. Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996). But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side. Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show. Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1 Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2 New York Giants - 9 - 2 Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1). Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship. So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume. And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top. They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy. Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday. But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division. Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS. Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS. Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162. Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense? Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS. In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS. Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division. Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do. The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20. The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
