LAS VEGAS -- Some football bettors do their handicapping earlier in the week and know which teams theyre planning to take. There are a lot of advantages in betting earlier and grabbing a good number before its gone.However, most bets are made on game day, not just from less sophisticated players but also from so-called wiseguys who are acting on late information or patiently waiting for the line theyve wanted all week.So to help those bettors, sharps and squares alike, every Sunday morning well monitor the weather, the inactive lists and -- most importantly -- the line moves and provide our thoughts on where the late value might be found.Without further ado, lets look at the Week 5 card and whats happening with the lines: Corey Linsley Super Bowl Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Jace Sternberger Super Bowl Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. https://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packe...ks-Jersey/ . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Dexter Williams Super Bowl Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.CHICAGO -- Patrick Kane has scored bigger goals in his NHL career. Winning the Stanley Cup in overtime sets the bar awfully high. By scoring twice in Game 5 of this years final, all Kane did was put the Chicago Blackhawks within one victory of their second championship in four years with Saturdays 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. "I think everyone wants to be that guy in big-time games," Kane said. "Ive been lucky enough in a couple to step up." Kane stepping up in Game 5 couldnt have happened at a better time for the Blackhawks, as captain Jonathan Toews left with an unspecified injury. The series took a turn with Toews departure and an injury to Patrice Bergeron that forced the Bruins centre to be taken to a local hospital for observation. With arguably the two best skaters out, it was Kanes opportunity to shine. He did so with his second multi-goal game of these playoffs and furthered his status as a clutch performer. "I dont think this game had to happen to define Kaner as a big-time player," Chicago left-winger Patrick Sharp said. "Hes had plenty of opportunities, and he showed up in big games with big performances. I knew he was a big time player before tonight." Kane took over the game like few players can. When he had open ice, he wanted the puck on his stick and always was a threat to score. When Johnny Oduyas shot broke Dennis Seidenbergs stick on the way to the net, Kane was there to put in the rebound to open the scoring. Crashing the net in the second put him in the perfect spot to beat goaltender Tuukka Rask after a heads-up play by linemate Bryan Bickell. "Sometimes you catch some breaks," Kane said. "I think I was in the right spot at the right time tonight on both goals. I thought I had some other chances, too, I could have scored. But I think playing with Johnny and Bicks, they create a lot of space, and Ive been taking advantage of the space they do make." Toews was a focus for the Bruins, who hit him at every opportunity. Boston defenceman Johnny Boychuk appeared to hit him in the head in the second period, though Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said he wasnt sure if that was what caused Toews injury.dddddddddddd With Chicago clawing to a third-period lead that Bruins captain Zdeno Chara cut in half with his first goal of the final, Toews sat on the bench but did not take a shift. He wanted to play, according to Quenneville, who said he was hopeful that Toews would return for Game 6 Monday night at TD Garden. Quenneville called Toews day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old centre did not speak to reporters but seemed to be in good spirits as he signed autographs and talked to friends on his way out of the arena. For the final stretch of Game 5 Saturday night, all he could do was provide some moral support. "He was there to chatter a little bit on the bench and keep us into it," Sharp said. "Hes part of the team, obviously, and it was great to have everybody together." Bergeron couldnt even do that. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for observation, the team announced. Bruins coach Claude Julien did not have an update after the game and bristled at questions about the injury. "Not much I can say on his situation," Julien said. "Its just an injury that wasnt able to let him finish the game. He may be in next game." A source with direct knowledge of Bergerons injury called his trip to the hospital "precautionary." He reportedly walked to the ambulance under his own power. If Toews and Bergeron cannot play in Game 6, the complexion of the series changes. "That kind of evens itself out if thats the case," Julien said. "But theres still a lot of good players on both teams that can certainly make things happen." Kane is chief among them. The man whose overtime winner against the Philadelphia Flyers gave the Blackhawks the 2010 Stanley Cup was the one most responsible for getting his team back in the same spot three years later. "I think its exciting to be back in that situation again," Kane said. "This is what you work for all year, all summer, when youre training throughout the year at training camp, whatever it may be. This is what you work for, this opportunity. Weve got to seize the moment and take advantage of it." ' ' '
