Fatal error: Call to a member function attributes() on null

Here's my solution:

foreach ($xml_data->Game as $game) {
    $t = $game['Time'];
    $odds = $game->xpath('SportsBook[@Name="5Dimes"]/Odds');
    //var_dump($odds); - you will see 
    // it's empty array if there's no `Odds` tags
    // Some default value
    $valueLT = 'NULL';
    // add a strict check if exactly `$odds[0]` exists in `$odds`
    if(!empty($odds[0])) {
        // get value from attribute
        $valueLT = $odds[0]->attributes()->LineType;
    }
    echo 'Time: ' . $t . ' LineType: '.$valueLT . '<br/>' . PHP_EOL;
}

Output:

Time: 1:45 PM LineType: 2<br/>
Time: 1:45 PM LineType: NULL<br/>
Time: 1:46 PM LineType: 4<br/>
