Red Bulls hope to end RSL's home streak

Soccer Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red Bull New York travels to take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night in Major League Soccer action.

Both teams are in second place in their respective conference tables, with RSL holding a three point advantage in the overall league standings over the Red Bulls.

New York (11-7-4) has the deck stacked against it a bit heading into Rio Tinto Stadium, where RSL hasn't lost since May of 2009, a stretch of 21 games.

On top of that, the Red Bulls will be without a number of key players because of international duty. The list includes starting goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul, left back Roy Miller, right winger Dane Richards and central midfielder Rafa Marquez.

"It's a FIFA day, I have no problem [with them leaving]," New York coach Hans Backe told mlssoccer.com. "I'm just concerned we're still playing on a FIFA day."

Two players who should still be in the lineup for New York are designated players Juan Pablo Angel and Thierry Henry, who just retired from the French national team.

"First time I ever find myself in the situation where a lot of our players are away and we still have to play," Henry told mlssoccer.com.

Red Bull midfielder Joel Lindpere will also be available after he declined an invitation to join the Estonian national team.

"It's not something we talk about, who is here and who isn't," New York defender Danleigh Borman told mlssoccer.com. "We know our roles, we have depth here on this team and, like Toronto a few weeks ago when we were missing players, we know we have guys who can step in right away and get things done."

RSL (11-4-7) will also be playing without influential attackers Alvaro Saborio and Will Johnson. The only injury the defending MLS Cup champs are dealing with is to Jamison Olave, who is expected to play with a knee sprain.

New York will be without midfielders Giorgi Chirgadze, Luke Sassano and Brian Nielsen, and defender Jeremy Hall because of injuries.

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.
