Cowboys beat Chargers on late safety
Football Betting Lines
08/22/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas' Tony Romo and San Diego's Philip Rivers were each picked off during their first offensive series and the Cowboys earned a sloppy 16-14 preseason win over the Chargers thanks to a late safety.
The Cowboys, who were penalized 10 times for 65 yards, broke a tie with just under four minutes left. Victor Butler stripped the ball from Chargers quarterback Jonathan Crompton. The ball rolled into the end zone, where Chargers lineman Ryan Otterson covered it for a safety.
San Diego had one last chance, but the Cowboys stuffed Marcus Mason on a run up the middle, leaving the ball at the Chargers 39. Dallas ran out the final 1:53 on the clock.
Romo completed 4-of-11 passes for 30 yards, including a nine-yard scoring connection to Miles Austin late in the second quarter. He was intercepted by Eric Weddle in the opening period.
Jon Kitna went 9-of-15 for 84 yards, including a 19-yard scoring pass to tight end Martellus Bennett in the fourth for Dallas.
Rivers ended 11-of-15 for 125 yards and scored on a one-yard run in the final minute of the first quarter. But he was intercepted by Terence Newman to thwart San Diego's game-opening drive. Rivers led his team to the Dallas 19 before Newman stepped in and picked off Rivers at the seven. Darren Sproles fumbled the ball away at the Dallas eight in the final three minutes of the first half.
Rookie Barry Church rumbled 80 yards with the fumble recovery before being tackled by Rivers. That set up Romo's TD toss to Austin.
Mason scored on a four-yard run in the third quarter.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
