Patriots lead Giants 10-9 after 1st halfFootball Betting Lines02/05/2012 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Brady's four-yard touchdown pass to Danny Woodhead ended a 96-yard drive and gave the Patriots a 10-9 lead over the Giants at halftime of the Super Bowl. Brady was 10-for-10 on the drive and completed his last 11 passes in the half. The 96-yard drive, coming after the Patriots were pinned in deep by a punt, tied a record for the longest in Super Bowl history. Earlier, Eli Manning started the game 9-for-9 and threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz to give New York a 9-0 lead over New England after the first quarter. New York also got two points on a safety when Brady was called for intentional grounding on New England's first play from scrimmage. Brady's pass, under pressure, was thrown 45 yards downfield from the front of the end zone with no receiver in the vicinity and was the sixth safety in Super Bowl history. Manning led the Giants on a 78-yard drive after that, which included a penalty on New England for too many men on the field that reversed a fumble by Cruz. The drive was capped by Manning's short pass to Cruz behind two defenders with 3:24 left in the quarter, making it 9-0. The Giants ran 19 of the game's first 20 plays from scrimmage as New England had trouble getting out of its own way early. But the Patriots started a 60-yard drive that spanned the first and second quarters and ended in Stephen Gostkowski's 29-yard field goal, pulling them within 9-3. The game is a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl, which the Giants won, 17-14, on Plaxico Burress' 13-yard touchdown catch with 35 seconds remaining. The game- winning drive, led by MVP Manning, included David Tyree's famous helmet catch. The game is also a rematch from Week 9 this past season. Manning threw a TD pass in the final minute of that one to give the Giants a 24-20 win over the Patriots. Brady was 15-of-18 for 147 yards in the first half and Manning was 13-of-17 for 120 yards. New York's Ahmad Bradshaw led all rushers with 44 yards on nine carries, while New England's Aaron Hernandez had five catches for 40 yards. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, playing with a high ankle sprain, made his only catch of the first half on the 96-yard drive -- a 20-yard grab for a first down early on. The Giants are 3-1 all-time in the Super Bowl and have seven titles overall. The Patriots are 3-3 in the Super Bowl. Brady is trying to win his fourth ring in the last 11 seasons and his first since winning back-to-back titles after the 2003 and '04 seasons. His idol, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw also won four. New England's Bill Belichick can tie Hall of Fame Steelers coach Chuck Noll for most Super Bowl wins by head coach in NFL history at four.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet). For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win. TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures. Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
