D.C., Allsopp top Union for first win since JuneSoccer Betting Lines08/22/2010 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danny Allsopp scored twice and D.C. United beat the Philadelphia Union, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium to snap a five-game losing streak and nine-match winless run in Major League Soccer. Allsopp scored in each half, as United (4-14-3) won for the first time since a 3-2 win over Seattle Sounders FC in early June to give interim coach Ben Olsen his first victory. Olsen replaced Curt Onalfo following a 3-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake on July 31 and lost his first two games for the team he played with from 1998-2009. The Union (4-11-5) won their first-ever game against United in April, 3-2, but were shutout for just the fourth time this season as their winless run reached six matches. Philadelphia had the first real chance of the match through Sebastian Le Toux, who leads the team with nine goals and nine assists, in the sixth minute. He opened space against Jed Zayner in the penalty area, but United rookie goalie Bill Hamid made a strong save. United opened the scoring inside 22 minutes when Allsopp pounced on a mistake by Union defender Danny Califf. D.C. rookie Andy Najar drove a cross in from the right wing and Califf slipped as he tried to clear. The ball deflected off Califf to an open Allsopp, and he easily slotted into the bottom-left corner. Philadelphia had chance late in the first half to tie the match, but Califf's effort off a free kick deflected off teammate Fred on a crowded goal line. Santino Quaranta curled a good chance for United just around the right post from 18 yards early in the second half, and Allsopp followed with his second goal in the 63rd. Najar helped create the goal with a run down the right. He then slipped a pass across the top of the 18, where Pablo Hernandez dummied the ball to let it run to Allsopp, and he hit a left-footed shot past Union goalie Chris Seitz. Jaime Moreno nearly capped United's win with his 133rd career goal in stoppage time but missed wide left. Hamid finished with three saves for his first MLS shutout. Philadelphia plays its next MLS game on Saturday at the New England Revolution and D.C. visits Chivas USA on Aug. 29.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe 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.
