Stosur into quarterfinals in StanfordTennis Betting Lines07/29/2010 - Stanford, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Australian Samantha Stosur moved into the quarterfinals at the $700,000 Bank of the West Classic tennis event with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over American qualifier Christina McHale. Stosur, who lost to Francesca Schiavone in the finale at Roland Garros, is playing her first tournament since breaking into the top five. She leads the WTA Tour this year with 36 victories and reached the quarterfinals here for a fourth straight year. Next up for Stosur will be seventh-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, who beat Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova, 6-1, 6-4 on the hardcourts at Taube Family Tennis Stadium. There were two other second-round encounters Wednesday. No. 2 seed Elena Dementieva of Russia downed Japan's Kimiko Date Krumm, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and third-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska got past Ukrainian qualifier Olga Savchuk, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2. Dementieva had been sidelined by a calf injury since retiring from her semifinal match against Schiavone at the French Open early last month. On Thursday, second-round matches will come for fourth-seeded reigning Stanford champion Marion Bartoli and fifth-seeded former world No. 1 star Maria Sharapova of Russia. The French Bartoli surprised American star Venus Williams in last year's finale here. Williams beat the big-hitting Bartoli in the 2007 Wimbledon championship match. Bartoli's opponent on Thursday will be former top-ranked Serbian star Ana Ivanovic.

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
