Charleroi, Belgium (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 2012 Fed Cup quarterfinal between
Serbia and host Belgium will get underway Saturday with a singles match
between the visitors' former world No. 1 star Jelena Jankovic and Kirsten
Flipkens.
Jankovic-Flipkens will be followed by a rubber between the Serbs' Bojana
Jovanovski and the hosts' Yanina Wickmayer.
Sunday's reverse singles will pit the former U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic
against Wickmayer and Jovanovski versus Flipkens, while the potentially-
deciding doubles match on Day 2 will pit a Serbian duo of Jankovic and
Aleksandra Krunic against a Belgian tandem of Tamaryn Hendler and Alison Van
Uytvanck.
The Serbs are captained by Dejan Vranes, while team Belgium is guided by Ann
Devries.
The best-of-five tie will be staged on an indoor hardcourt at Charleroi's
Spiroudome.
Belgium owns one Fed Cup title, while Serbia is still in search of its first
championship. The Belgians are 2-0 all-time versus the Serbs.
The winner here will face the Russia-Spain victor in the semifinals in April.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
