Argentina gains edge on Russia in Davis Cup quarterfinal

Tennis Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos won their doubles match Saturday to give Argentina the advantage against host Russia in their best-of-five Davis Cup quarterfinal.

The matchup was tied after Friday's opening singles rubbers, when David Nalbandian won for Argentina and Mikhail Youzhny triumphed for Russia.

On Saturday, Schwank and Zeballos prevailed in a 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1 decision over the Russian duo of Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Kunitsyn. The victory gives Argentina a 2-1 lead in the quarterfinal matchup and the edge heading into Sunday's reverse singles.

Leonardo Mayer, who lost to Youzhny in straight sets Friday, is currently scheduled to face Davydenko in Sunday's first match. He will have a chance to put Argentina, a three-time Davis Cup runner-up, into the semifinals.

Youzhny and Nalbandian are set to play in the day's second and potentially decisive rubber.

The winner here will face France or two-time defending champion Spain in September's semifinals.

Football Betting Lines

The 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.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

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.
