Super Bowl odds are giving the advantage in Sunday’s NFC championship game to New Orleans as Minnesota heads to the Superdome to face one of the few crowds in the NFL that may be louder than their own.
Comings, goings and “stayings” are prevalent over the last 24 hours in the sports world. Let’s see who’s leaving, who’s arriving and who’s staying put.

Course difficulty in the PGA is a polarizing topic. Some fans and bettors love vicious fescue and tough pin placements – the kind of course setups that grace the U.S. Open and get players complaining. Other fans prefer soft greens, super-low scores and, essentially, dart-throwing contests.
Date: Jan. 20- 24, 2010
Event: Bob Hope Classic
Course: PGA West (Palmer Course), La Quinta, California — PGA West (Nicklaus Course) — La Quinta CC — Silver Rock
Purse: $5,000,000
Defending Champ: Pat Perez
FedEX Cup Points: 500
The five-round Bob Hope Classic should appease the latter type of fan, as its four courses ranked as the four easiest of the 51 played on Tour last year.

While birdies and eagles galore can be fun to watch, easy courses make betting tougher, as they level the playing field. Let’s try and sort through the best potential picks of the week.
Justin Rose
Bob Hope Classic odds: +1850
He finished 2009 strong and his torrid play has carried into 2010 so far; his last round was a 64 on Sunday at the Sony Open. He also finished third the last time he played this tournament (2007) and should attack the pin all weekend long.
Ryan Moore
Bob Hope Classic odds: +1850
He isn’t a household name but his steady iron play matches up well in this tourney. He also looked good two weeks ago at the SBS Championship, finishing sixth. It’s just too bad that he doesn’t offer better value; after all, he’s missed the cut in two of his last three Bob Hope Classics. 
Chad Campbell
Bob Hope Classic odds: +2550
Don’t be surprised if Campbell gets the most sportsbook support of anyone this week. He won this tourney in 2006, finished ninth last year and carries decent momentum into this weekend after shooting 66 on Sunday at the Sony Open. Explain to me why he has worse odds than Moore again?
Mike Weir
Bob Hope Classic odds: +2050
If he offered slightly better sportsbook value, he’d be an easy choice this week. He won the Bob Hope Classic in 2003 and finished third last year. The forecast calls for rain this week and Weir has a knack for nestling balls close to the pin in wet conditions.
John Merick
Bob Hope Classic odds: +6550
That’s awfully good value for last year’s runner up, isn’t it? Merick led the field in greens in regulation at the Sony Open last week; with his accuracy on, he could post some low scores. Honorable sleeper mention goes to John Senden, who clocks in at +3250.
Given his solid iron play and ability to adapt to inclement weather, I have a great feeling about Mike Weir this week. If you prefer the big value play, consider a Merick or Senden, but Weir is the educated pick.
Pick: Mike Weir +2050

Super Bowl odds had the New York Jets as a longshot, but anyone who took the chance will be on the edge of their seats when the Jets head to Indianapolis for a meeting in the AFC championship game against the Colts, who had their unbeaten season ruined by the Jets.
The NFL Conference Championships are this Sunday and betED.com has dozens of great prop bets for both matchups.
The first game has the Indianapolis Colts hosting the New York Jets in the AFC Championship (3 pm ET, CBS).
Mike Preston, a Ravens writer for the Baltimore Sun, called Ray Lewis’ vicious hit on Colts’ wide receiver Austin Collie a “death blow” or “kill shot.”
“It was a cheap shot, and Lewis had already done this two or three times this season,” wrote Preston. “It’s usually done on purpose and delivered under the chin, where it can cause serious damage.”
Each week during the heart of the NBA season, and once or twice during the NBA Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NBA Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the nba Power Rankings have changed.
Offense may have led the way in the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs, but defense took center stage in the divisional round. Three out of the four games stayed under the total as the losing teams combined for a total of 34 points. Just like last week, the first three games of the weekend were never really close and final game’s outcome was not decided until the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
