Thompson, 16, cruises to win in Dubai
Golf Betting Lines
12/17/2011 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixteen-year-old American Lexi Thompson closed with a five-under 67 Saturday to win the Dubai Ladies Masters by four strokes.
Thompson finished at 15-under-par 273 for her second professional title. She was the second-youngest winner in Ladies European Tour history behind Amy Yang. Yang, who won as an amateur in 2006, was four months younger than Thompson at the time of her victory.
The young American carded back-to-back birdies from the second before dropping a shot on the par-three seventh. Thompson, who fell behind Lee-Ann Pace with that bogey, atoned for that mistake with a birdie on No. 9, and she made it two in a row with another birdie on the 10th.
Thompson posted two straight birdies for the third time in her round, at 13 and 14. She faltered to a bogey on No. 17, but closed the tournament in style with her fourth birdie in four days at the par-five 18th.
"It feels amazing. I feel really honored that they invited me back," said Thompson, who tied for 22nd last year. "I've been working on my game really hard and it's paid off. I'm going to continue working hard and just trying to improve every tournament."
Pace had two birdies and an eagle in the first six holes to jump to 12-under. She played the last 12 holes in one-over par for a three-under 69. She ended alone in second at minus-11.
Sophie Gustafson managed a one-under 71 to take third at 10-under-par 278. Becky Morgan (70), Stacy Lee Bregman (70) and Pernilla Lindberg (71) shared fourth place at nine-under-par 279.
Michelle Wie (72) tied for 12th at minus-five.

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).

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
