Well, online sports betting fans, it’s almost time to say goodbye to meaningful golf in 2009. The Tour Championship is the last FedEx Cup playoff event of the year and it starts Thursday. Here are some intriguing names to consider this week.
Tiger’s +125 odds to win are high even by his standards, They’re justified however, as he’s fresh off a landslide victory at the BMW Championship. It’s pretty amazing that he has six wins in what many are calling an off year for him simply because he didn’t win a major. Sports picks don’t come safer than him this week; when a guy fresh off a win plays at a course on which he won two years ago and leads the Tour in scoring average and par breakers, you bet on him.
Padraig Harrington
Tour Championship odds: +1415
Maybe 2009 isn’t a total write-off for Harrington after all. He finished 15 straight tournaments outside the top 10 to start the year only to heat up at crunch time; he has five straight top-10 finishes now. With his swing fixed and his scrambling helping him stay consistent, he’ll probably contend again. However, he still has to conquer his bizarre Sunday hiccups.
Sean O’Hair
Tour Championship odds: +2050
Hardly a household name, O’Hair is a guy to remember this week. He’s shown he can hang with the big boys in the FedEx Cup, posting consecutive top-10s. The host course, EastLake, has thick rough, so accurate ball strikers should fare well. O’Hair is no exception; he hit 32 straight greens during one hot stretch this year.
Mike Weir
Tour Championship odds: +5250
Weir may be the best sleeper pick this week since he can match O’Hair’s accuracy yet offers much better sportsbook value. He finished sixth at EastLake last year, so seeing him contend again wouldn’t be a huge surprise.

It’s accurate and timely information like this that ensure GodsTips remains the industry standard among sports handicappers. Of course it’s pretty valuable Intel to the fantasy football player as well.
It’s Week 3 NFL injuries.
Panthers vs. Cowboys
Dallas RB Marion Barber is questionable with a quadriceps injury.
Chiefs vs. Eagles
Eagles QB Donovan McNabb remains questionable. He did not suit up for the Eagles rout at the hands of the Saints. Last week’s starter Kevin Kolb would get the call again if D-Mac cannot go. Michael Vick is eligible to return.
“If Kolb starts look for Vick to be used in a lot of gadget plays, much more so than if McNabb does play,” says Bill Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com.
RB Brian Westbrook is probable for the Birds.
Packers vs. Rams
Rams offensive tackle Jason Smith is doubtful. Smith was the second overall pick in hit year’s draft.
Redskins vs. Lions
LB Ernie Sims is out for Detroit. He has 14 tackles for the Lions this year.
Giants vs. Buccaneers
Tampa starting FS Jermaine Phillips is questionable with a broken thumb. Starting C Jeff Faine will also be out for the Bucs. He has not played this year. Also No. 1 WR Antonio Bryant is day to day.
Bears vs. Seahawks
Seahawks starting QB Matt Hasselbeck is doubtful with a cracked rib. Head coach Jim Mora Jr. said the Seahawks are preparing as if he won’t play. Seneca Wallace, who started eight games last year, would get the call.
Broncos vs. Raiders
Raiders starting LG Robert Gallery is out for 4-6 weeks.
Falcons vs. Patriots
Atlanta first round draft pick DT Peria Jerry is out for the year. Atlanta is very thin on the defensive line.
Nobody is more secretive about injuries than Patriots coach Bill Belichick, but his No. 2 receiver Wes Welker warmed up last Sunday before being a surprise scratch. Hence, he’d be considered questionable to probable this week.
With the references to Johnny Unitas, here is my memory of him. When he was playing was the last time GodsTips had a losing season in college or pro football betting. GodsTips is the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com and the Colts made it a 6-1 butt kicking an NFL week. See week 3 NFL betting line.
