Soccer Betting Lines

02/05/2012 - Kaiserslautern, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cologne snapped a three-game losing streak Sunday as Odise Roshi scored in the 72nd minute of a 1-0 Bundesliga win over 10-man Kaiserslautern at Fritz-Walter-Stadion.

Cologne had lost its last three matches by combined scores of 8-1, and striker Lukas Podolski - who leads the squad 15 goals - was lost to injury, but Ariel Borysiuk was sent off after 39 minutes for Kaiserslautern and Cologne pounced.

Roshi bagged his first goal of the season 18 minutes from time, shortly after coming on as a substitute, as he latched onto a Christian Clemens cross off a corner and headed home past Kaiserslautern goalie Kevin Trapp.

The goal came just over 1 1/2 minutes after Roshi entered the game and Cologne held on over the final 20 minutes to snatch its third road win this season.

Cologne climbed to ninth in the table on 24 points, ahead of Wolfsburg on goal differential. Kaiserslautern is winless in 10 straight and just one point off the foot of the table.

Freiburg 2, Werder Bremen 2

Freiburg, Germany - Jonathan Schmid notched the tying goal in 70th minute to spoil a brace from Claudio Pizarro and Freiburg tied Werder Bremen 2-2 at MAGE SOLAR Stadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga.

Pizarro put Bremen ahead just before the half hour, but Cedric Makiadi had the hosts level in the 31st. Pizarro handed Bremen its second lead in the opening minute of the second half, but Schmid equalized midway through the session.

Schmid's goal came off a well-struck shot that skipped off the hands of Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese, off the right post and in to answer Pizarro for a second time. Pizarro has 15 goals this season, just two behind leader Mario Gomez of Bayern Munich.

Freiburg remained at the bottom of the table, but climbed level on points with 17th-place Augsburg. Bremen sits fifth, but eight points out of fourth and the final Champions League berth.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
