Soccer Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Bochum, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of late goals from Lucas Barrios helped Borussia Dortmund claim a 4-1 win at Bochum on Saturday, helping the team move into the top four in the Bundesliga table.

An own goal from Bochum's Marcel Maltritz put the hosts behind, and they fell further back when Mohamed Zidan doubled the lead for Dortmund nine minutes later.

Milos Maric was hit with a red card for Bochum before halftime, but they still managed to pull a goal back early in the second half through Lewis Holtby. However, Barrios secured the win for the visitors with two goals in a three- minute span to help his team move past Hamburg and to within five points of third-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Bochum remains four points above the bottom three as they are now winless in their last four games.

Dortmund came within inches of opening the scoring in the 12th minute when Nuri Sahin headed the ball off the post, but his free kick six minutes later led to Dortmund taking the lead as his shot deflected off of Maltritz and flew into the net.

Jakub Blaszczykowski set up Dortmund's second goal when he worked his way down the right wing and crossed for Zidan to fire home from just inside the penalty area.

Maric was red-carded six minutes later for a foul on Blaszczykowski, but the home side managed to pull to within a goal in the 53rd minute when a through ball from Mimoun Azaouagh allowed Holtby to get behind the Dortmund defense and fire a shot between the legs of goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.

However, Barrios put the game away in the 74th minute when he picked up a rebound from a Tamas Hajnal shot and tapped it into the empty net before adding another three minutes later.

Bayern Munich needed two goals from Arjen Robben in the final 15 minutes to get past Freiburg, 2-1, a result that takes Bayern back to the top of the league, while two goals from Edin Dzeko helped Wolfsburg cruise to a 4-0 win over Monchengladbach.

Hannover downed Eintracht, 2-1, Angelos Charisteas scored in stoppage time as Nurnberg beat Hertha Berlin, 2-1, while 10-man Mainz managed to get a 1-0 win over Koln as Andre Schurrle scored in the second half.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
