Argentina tops Germany 4-1 to reach Davis Cup quarters

Tennis Betting Lines

02/12/2012 - Bamberg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Argentina settled for a 4-1 victory over host Germany in a best-of-five opening-round Davis Cup matchup.

The 2011 runner-up Argentines will host Croatia in a quarterfinal in April.

Argentina clinched the tie with a doubles win by former Wimbledon runner-up David Nalbandian and Eduardo Schwank here on Saturday, which gave the visitors an insurmountable 3-0 lead. Nalbandian and Schwank fought back from a two- sets-to-love deficit against oft-injured former world No. 2 Tommy Haas and Philipp Petzschner in order to prevail.

In Sunday's meaningless reverse singles, Juan Ignacio Chela gave Argentina a 4-0 advantage by besting Florian Mayer 7-5, 7-5 and the Germans finally got a point when Cedrik-Marcel Stebe downed Schwank 7-6 (7-1), 7-5 on the red clay at Stechert Arena Bamberg.

In Friday's opening singles, Juan Monaco and Nalbandian posted big wins for the visitors.

Argentina is still trying for that elusive first Davis Cup title, having finished as the runner-up four times. The Argentines lost to Spain in last year's finale in Seville.

Three-time champion Germany is 2-6 all-time against Argentina, including a 5-0 setback in their last meeting back in 2003.

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.
