Tennis Betting Lines
07/09/2010 - Clermont-Ferrand, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A quality French team, led by Gael Monfils, has a 2-0 lead against reigning two-time champion Spain in their best-of-five Davis Cup quarterfinal in France.
The world No. 17 Monfils outlasted gritty 12th-ranked Spaniard David Ferrer in five sets, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, 4-6, 5-7, 6-4, in Friday's opening singles rubber. The flashy Frenchman swatted 21 aces and prevailed in just under four hours in a marathon rubber on the indoor hardcourt at Zenith Grande Halle d'Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand.
World No. 35 Michael Llodra then gave the hosts a commanding 2-0 advantage by overcoming 10th-ranked fellow lefthander Fernando Verdasco 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2). Llodra pulled off the upset in 3 hours, 25 minutes, as the Frenchman tallied four service breaks, while Verdasco settled for only one.
Saturday's doubles currently call for a French tandem of Llodra and Julien Benneteau to battle a Spanish duo of Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez, while Sunday's reverse singles currently pit Monfils against Verdasco and Llodra versus Ferrer.
France is captained by Guy Forget, while Spain is led by former French Open champ Albert Costa, who guided the Spaniards to another title last season.
The French team also has Gilles Simon at its disposal, while Spain has Nicolas Almagro on its bench. World No. 1 superstar and reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion Rafael Nadal decided against playing for Spain this week.
Spain is 5-1 all-time versus France, who won the first meeting between the two nations way back in 1923. The Spaniards have won four of the last 10 Davis Cup championships, including a victory over the Czech Republic in last year's finale.
The France-Spain winner will meet the Argentina-Russia victor in the semifinals in September.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
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.
