Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has
been given a four-year contract extension through June 2016.
Finchem became the tour's third commissioner in June 1994 and has overseen a
period of tremendous growth. Earnings for PGA Tour members have increased
substantially and he has been instrumental in developing a number of key
events, including the Presidents Cup, PGA Tour playoffs and the World Golf
Championships.
"We have accomplished a lot, but there remains a great opportunity to continue
to grow over the next four years," said Finchem in a statement. "It is an
honor to work in such a wonderful sport with the world's best athletes and a
terrific management team. I look forward to continuing to work closely with
them in the future."

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
