Mickelson, Singh, Westwood share Bridgestone leadGolf Betting Lines08/02/2008 - Akron, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Phil Mickelson bogeyed the 18th hole Saturday to fall into a three-way tie for the lead after three rounds of the WGC- Bridgestone Invitational. Mickelson posted a two-under 68 to complete 54 holes at eight-under-par 202. He was joined atop the leaderboard by Vijay Singh (69) and Lee Westwood (67). None of the leaders has won a World Golf Championships event. Stuart Appleby is one shot behind the leaders at minus-seven after a three- under 67 on Saturday. Retief Goosen is alone in fifth at five-under-under 205 after a third-round 68. The three leaders traded the top spot with each other and two others as well. Singh parred the first to remain at minus-seven, where he was joined by Westwood and Zach Johnson, both of whom birdied the first two holes. Westwood made it three in a row as his 17-foot birdie effort at the third found the bottom of the cup, giving the Englishman the lead. Singh responded with a birdie on the second to join Westwood at minus-eight. At the par-four third, Singh chipped in for birdie to regain the top spot. However, he faltered to bogeys on the fourth and seventh to slide one behind Westwood. After Westwood bogeyed the ninth, Mickelson created a three-way tie atop the leaderboard with a 27-foot birdie putt on the eighth. Meanwhile, Miguel Angel Jimenez climbed into the mix. He had three birdies and a bogey over the first eight holes, then poured in a birdie effort at the ninth. The Spaniard moved himself to minus-seven and into a share of the lead. That was short-lived though as he stumbled to four bogeys to go with a lone birdie over the final eight holes at Firestone. Singh dropped his second shot to 11 feet at the 10th and converted that putt for birdie and the lead at minus-eight. Westwood moved back to eight-under with a 31-foot birdie putt at the 12th. Singh three-putted for bogey at the 12th to fall one back, then Mickelson three-putted from the front fringe at the 13th to drop two back at minus-six. That bogey for Mickelson came after he hit a remarkable shot out of the trees. His ball was knee-high on the side of hill and he punched a three-wood through the trees to the front edge of the putting surface, but was unable to take advantage of the stellar shot. Mickelson quickly rebounded though. His approach to the 14th stopped five feet from the cup and he rolled that in for birdie. The left-hander made it two straight with a 13-foot birdie putt at 15. The world's second-ranked player polished off a run of three straight birdies at 16 where he got up and down for birdie from a back bunker. Singh kept pace with his playing partner, Mickelson, with back-to-back birdies from the 15th. Those two headed to the 17th tied for the lead at nine-under, while Westwood was heading for the clubhouse at minus-eight. He tripped to a bogey on 15, but recovered that stroke with a birdie at the par-four 17th. "I was surprised how good the scoring was, because standing on the range you felt like the golf course was going to play pretty tough since we didn't get the rain overnight as expected, and it felt like it was going to dry out as the day went on," Westwood said. "I wanted to come out quick, and birdie, birdie, birdie was obviously great. But I played pretty solid all day." Singh's approach at 17 stopped on the front fringe and he rolled his birdie putt within three feet. However, Singh's par putt didn't even touch the cup and he walked off with a bogey to join Westwood in second at minus-eight. "I feel pretty good, a little disappointed though," admitted Singh, who missed a couple of short putts Saturday. "It could have been a better round than that, but you've got to take what it gives you. A few short putts here and there would have made a big difference." Mickelson pitched his third to nine feet at the last and missed the par-saving putt to fall into a share of the lead. "I'm excited that I'm tied for the lead going into the final round," said Mickelson, who has won two straight and seven of his last nine when owning a piece of the 54-hole lead. "I think it'll be a fun shootout. There's four guys right there and then there's a big grouping four shots back. "So I think that we're all in good position. I feel like I've played well the first three rounds and I'm looking forward to a nice shootout tomorrow." Darren Clarke, the 2003 champion, fired a five-under 65 Saturday to move into a share of sixth place at four-under-par 206. He was joined there by Chris DiMarco (68), Rory Sabbatini (70), Jimenez (70) and D.J. Trahan (70). Masters champion Trevor Immelman shares 11th place with six other golfers at minus-three.

Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper 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). To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
