Czech friendly is vital for a number of USA hopefulsSoccer Betting Lines05/24/2010 - Hartford, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tuesday's friendly between the United States and the Czech Republic will be used as much more than just a way to keep the American team sharp ahead of next month's World Cup. It will give USA head coach Bob Bradley another chance to decide on just who will get a seat on the plane to South Africa, and who will be left watching from home. Obviously players like Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Clint Dempsey won't be too concerned with making the final 23-man roster, which must be submitted by June 1, but there are plenty of other players who have some work to do. Bradley named a provisional 30-man squad a few weeks ago, meaning that he must cut seven players from that team by next week. The goalkeeping position is pretty much set with Howard, Brad Guzan and Marcus Hahnemann each expected to make the trip. But there are plenty of question marks in the other areas of the field, starting in defense. Injuries have been a big issue in the back line for Bradley with Oguchi Onyewu having not played a game since suffering a serious knee injury in October, while captain Carlos Bocanegra underwent hernia surgery May 5 and continues to recover. Jay DeMerit is another player who will likely find his way into the starting 11, but he is struggling with an abdominal strain, leaving many of the fringe players with a chance to impress on Tuesday. Players like Chad Marshall, Heath Pearce, Jonathan Bornstein, Jonathan Spector and Clarence Goodson will all be fighting for one of the last spots in defense with more experienced players like Bocanegra, DeMerit, Onyewu and Steve Cherundolo likely safe. A number of places in midfield look pretty secure, but there should still be some good battles between veteran DaMarcus Beasley, whose place seems to still be uncertain, as well as more inexperienced players like Sacha Kljestan, Stuart Holden and Alejandro Bedoya. It's anyone's guess as to who might join presumed starter Jozy Altidore up top, with Major League Soccer standouts Edson Buddle, Brian Ching and Robbie Findley battling Herculez Gomez and former MLS player Eddie Johnson. It was just four years ago that these two teams played in the 2006 World Cup, with the Czech's handing the United States a heavy 3-0 defeat. But the team is undergoing a major overhaul with players like Tomas Rosicky and Milan Baros battling injuries, and they will have only four players involved in Tuesday's match from that World Cup side. The United States will play one more friendly on May 29 against Turkey before the June 1 deadline, while they will face Australia on June 5 in South Africa as a warm-up match before their opening World Cup contest against England one week later.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet. Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots. Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs.
