Tennis Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Indian Wells, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, fourth-seeded Russian star Elena Dementieva and No. 6 seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia were each victorious in fourth-round play Tuesday at the $4.5 million BNP Paribas Open.

Wozniacki, the runner-up in last year's U.S. Open, recovered from a lackluster second set against No. 16 Nadia Petrova to cruise in the third for a 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 victory over the Russian.

The 2006 Indian Wells runner-up Dementieva drubbed 19th-seeded Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai 6-3, 6-3 on the hardcourts at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

The two-time major finalist and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Dementieva's quarterfinal opponent will be capable fifth-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska, who blitzed 11th-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli of France 6-3, 6-2.

Jankovic, a former world No. 1, dropped Israel's Shahar Peer 6-2, 6-2 in just 57 minutes en route to advancing to the quarters.

Last year's champion here will not repeat this week, as 12th-seeded Vera Zvonareva gave way to eighth-seeded Aussie Samantha Stosur 6-2, 7-5 in 1 hour, 21 minutes on Day 7 in the California desert. The Russian Zvonareva bested Serbian Ana Ivanovic in last year's finale here.

Meanwhile, 18th-seeded Chinese Zheng Jie continued her fine season with a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7-1) victory over once-promising Aussie Alicia Molik, and No. 28 seed Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez of Spain defeated 13th-seeded Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, 6-4, 6-4.

The 2010 Indian Wells winner will earn $700,000.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
