Soccer Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Davy Arnaud had a goal and an assist to lead the Kansas City Wizards to a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night in Major League Soccer at The Home Depot Center.

Arnaud scored his third goal of the year the 12th minute and assisted on Jimmy Conrad's first goal of the year in the 70th, as the Wizards won for the fourth time in their last seven games.

Kansas City (7-9-5), which is 4-1-2 overall in its last seven matches, climbed to fourth in the Eastern Conference and to within three points of the last of eight playoff berths.

Los Angeles (13-5-4) lost for the second consecutive time at home and for the fourth time in its last seven. Overall, L.A. is just 2-4-1 in that period, but still holds a three point lead atop the Western Conference.

Arnaud handed the Wizards the lead inside 15 minutes when he took a pass from Kei Kamara and beat L.A. goalie Donovan Ricketts.

Birahim Diop nearly turned a pass from Arnaud into Kansas City's second goal later in the half, but Ricketts challenged his shot and deflected the ball.

Los Angeles, which dropped to 0-5-1 when allowing the first goal, had two good chances early in the second half to tie the match but Kansas City goalie Jimmy Nielsen made two big saves.

Chris Birchall had both chances from the right side of the penalty area, both off passes from Landon Donovan, but failed to convert either. Birchall failed to find the far post in the 49th, and then was stopped again by Nielsen on an open look in the 58th from close range.

Diop, who scored twice last weekend in Kansas City's 4-1 win over New England, had another chance to seal Kansas City's win in the 61st, but Ricketts made a fine save to keep L.A. in the match.

Conrad erased all suspense in the 70th when he stuck out his foot to deflect a free kick from Arnaud past a diving Ricketts and off the left post and in. The assist as Arnaud's third of the season.

Nielsen posted his eighth shutout of the season.

Kansas City will try to continue its run at expansion Philadelphia on Sept. 4, when L.A. will try to rebound against Chicago.

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.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
