Columbus hosts red-hot Hoops at Crew Stadium
Soccer Betting Lines
08/27/2010 -
Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew have their work cut out for
them when they host red-hot FC Dallas on Saturday at Crew Stadium.
Not only are the Hoops (9-2-9) on an 11-match unbeaten run in Major League
Soccer play, but they are unbeaten in their last nine road fixtures.
Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman isn't expecting an easy match at the current
Eastern table leaders, however.
"Right now I'm looking at our next 10 games and we play on the road this
Saturday against Columbus," he told The Sportsbook Betting Lines. "Any team that goes
into Columbus is going to have a war because they are so hard to beat there."
Dallas is entering its final 10 games of the regular season with the focus
solely on getting to the MLS Cup playoffs.
"We finished our first 10 games with 12 points, which were a very difficult 12
points to get," Hyndman said. "In our second 10 games we really focused on
trying to hit 20 points and we hit 24. Now we are focusing on that final 10
games and seeing if we can get ourselves into the playoffs."
The Crew (12-5-4) are coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss to Santos in
CONCACAF Champions League play at mid-week and could have some pent-up
frustration after a late equalizer was disallowed.
The defending Supporters' Shield winners are in good form in league play as of
late, winning four of their last six fixtures. They are also 9-2-0 at home
this season.
Columbus will be playing Saturday's game without regulars Robbie Rogers and
Gino Padula because of knee injuries, while midfielder Brian Carroll is
questionable with an illness and defender Andy Iro is probable with knee
inflammation.
Dallas will be without defender Ugo Ihemelu and midfielder Dax McCarty because
of injuries.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
