France completes whitewash of Spain

Tennis Betting Lines

07/11/2010 - Clermont-Ferrand, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gilles Simon and Julien Benneteau each won reverse singles matches for France on Sunday to complete a 5-0 rout of Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.

The Spaniards were the two-time defending Davis Cup champs, but played this tie without world No. 1 Rafael Nadal.

Benneteau and Michael Llodra clinched the tie for France on Saturday with a doubles win over Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez, leaving Sunday's matches as dead rubbers.

Simon won the first over Nicolas Almagro, 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (9-7), before Benneteau finished off the sweep with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 triumph over Lopez.

France will host September's semifinals against Argentina, which pulled off a 3-2 upset of Russia in Moscow.

The French had taken control of the tie on Friday with singles victories from Gael Monfils and Llodra. Monfils needed five sets to topple David Ferrer before Llodra took out Verdasco in four.

France won for only the second time in seven all-time meetings against Spain and last beat their European rivals in the first matchup back in 1923.

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

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5

Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5

Steelers -4 @ Browns +4
