Fish rolls; Querrey, Ram upset in Newport

Tennis Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Newport, RI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fifth-seeded American Mardy Fish booked a spot in the quarterfinals, while top-seeded 2009 runner-up Sam Querrey and defending champion Rajeev Ram were second-round upset victims Wednesday at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.

The 6-foot-6 Querrey was sent packing by rising 6-foot-5 Jamaican Dustin Brown 6-4, 6-3 on the grass courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The 108th-ranked Brown fired 14 aces at the world No. 19 Querrey and broke the American's serve three times, while Querrey failed to enjoy even one break- point chance in the surprising setback.

Querrey lost to his fellow American Ram in last year's Newport finale.

Ram joined Querrey in the losers' column on Wednesday, as this week's seventh seed succumbed to South African qualifier Raven Klaasen 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3).

Fish, meanwhile, avoided an upset by drilling Indian Somdev Devvarman 6-2, 6-0 on Day 3. The Minnesota native Fish will face capable Frank Dancevic in the quarterfinals.

Fourth-seeded Belgian Olivier Rochus joined the parade into the quarters by leveling Ukrainian Sergei Bubka 6-3, 6-3. The 23-year-old Bubka is the son of legendary pole-vaulter Sergey Bubka.

Rochus' round-of-eight opponent will be the upstart Klaasen.

In other second-round play, Argentine Brian Dabul handled Japan's Go Soeda 7-5, 6-2 to setup a quarterfinal tilt with Brown, while Canada's best, Dancevic, danced his was past French marathon man Nicolas Mahut 7-6 (7-5), 6-3.

Mahut, of course, made some tennis history two weeks ago when he lost to 6- foot-9 American John Isner in the longest tennis match ever played -- 11 hours, 5 minutes over three days -- in the opening round at Wimbledon. The wild card Mahut lost to Dancevic in a mere 76 minutes on Wednesday.

The winner of this $500,000 event will collect $75,700.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).

Larry Johnson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries. Damon Huard completed 17-of-23 passes for 133 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super 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.
