Arsenal edges Chelsea; United holds off City
Soccer Betting Lines
11/30/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robin van Persie scored twice as Arsenal was able to overcome an early own goal to shock Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, 2-1, in the English Premier League on Sunday.
Arsenal, which has five losses already this season, needed the victory to climb back into the title race and Van Persie delivered exactly what the team needed with two goals in a four-minute stretch of the second half.
Arsenal pulled within seven points of first-place Chelsea, which could lose the top spot Monday if Liverpool earns at least a draw when it hosts West Ham.
Arsenal handed Chelsea the lead in the 30th minute when Johan Djourou scored an own goal, but the struggling side regrouped in the second half.
Van Persie scored in the 59th and 62nd minutes and Arsenal held on for the huge win.
Denilson set up Van Persie's first goal and, although he was offside, the goal stood and put Chelsea on its heels. Three minutes later, Van Persie made a fast turn outside the top of the area and fired through the legs of Chelsea's Frank Lampard and into the bottom corner for his ninth of the season.
In the Manchester derby, United edged City 1-0 at City of Manchester Stadium to close within five points of Chelsea with one match in hand.
Manchester United got a goal from Wayne Rooney in the 42nd minute and held on after Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in the 68th minute. Rooney's goal was his 100th in club play.
Also Sunday, Portsmouth's Sean Davis scored the game-winner in the 79th minute in a 3-2 win over Blackburn.
Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe scored in the first eight minutes of the second half for Portsmouth but Blackburn rallied behind goals from Matt Derbyshire and Tugay Kerimoglu five minutes apart in the 62nd and 67th.
Davis secured all three points for Portsmouth, which earned new boss Tony Adams his first home win. Portsmouth is eighth in the league, while Blackburn stayed in the bottom three.
Everton defeated Tottenham 1-0 to win its third straight at White Hart Lane and wrap up the day's action. Steven Pienaar had the game-winner in the 51st minute in coach David Moyes' 300th game in charge.
Everton won its sixth match of the season to move up to seventh, and Tottenham remained level on points with Newcastle and Sunderland for the last spot in the drop zone.

Teams that should be in: Stanford
Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.
Should be in:
Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.
| Southeastern Conference odds | |
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.
Work left to do: Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney. Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson. Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable. Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile. |

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
