San Jose travels to take on confident Red Bulls
Soccer Betting Lines
08/27/2010 - Harrison, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Earthquakes travel across the country to take on Red Bull New York at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night in Major League Soccer action.
The 'Quakes (8-6-5) are coming off a 1-0 win over the league-leading Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend, the club's fourth straight 1-0 MLS result, the last two of which were wins.
San Jose is hoping to get its offense going on Saturday. Its 22 goals are tied for the lowest scored in the Western table, and fourth lowest in the entire league.
"We definitely need to start finishing those chances when we can," 'Quakes forward Chris Wondolowski told mlssoccer.com. "Otherwise, it will come back to bite us."
New York, on the other hand, is coming off a decisive 4-1 win at Toronto FC last weekend that snapped a three-game stretch where it had scored just one goal.
With new designated player signings Rafa Marquez and Thierry Henry shining in the win, the club is starting to look like it could be a serious contender for the MLS Cup crown.
"I don't think we're ready for that quite yet," new York defender Chris Albright told MLSsoccer.com. "We still have a tough road ahead of us. We have San Jose this Saturday, and Salt Lake a couple times and I think they're as good as team in the league right now. Plus, [we play] Los Angeles on the road. I don't think we're 'there' quite yet."
The key will be getting the two new signings into form as soon as possible.
"I think they just have to play games, games, games, games," New York coach Hans Backe said of Henry and Marquez. "You always [hope] that if they play games and don't pick up injuries, [then] they can go 90."
San Jose is also trying to get a new designated player fit. Newly signed Brazilian forward Geovanni made his MLS debut last weekend, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute.
Not expected to play on Saturday for San Jose is midfielder Andre Luiz, forward Eduardo and defenders Chris Leitch, Ike Opara and Ramiro Corrales because of injuries.
New York (10-7-4) expects to be without midfielders Giorgi Chirgadze, Luke Sassano, Brian Nielsen and Irving Garcia, and defender Jeremy Hall.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
