Turco, Stars snap Capitals' home streak in SOHockey Betting Lines03/08/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loui Eriksson scored in the fifth round of the shootout and Marty Turco stopped a career-high 49 shots as Dallas rallied in the third and ended Washington's 13-game home-winning streak with a 4-3 win at Verizon Center. In the fifth round after Brendan Morrison was poke-checked before he got a shot off, Eriksson skated in on net, slammed on the brakes right in front and slid the forehand into the net. Trevor Daley, James Neal and Brad Richards all had third period goals for the Stars, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Alex Ovechkin scored twice to snap a six-game goal drought while Tom Poti also had a goal for the Capitals, who had not lost at home since a defeat at the hands of Carolina on December 28. Semyon Varlamov stopped 23 shots in the loss. Despite allowing the two goals, Turco did all he could to keep his team in the game as he made 40 saves through the first two periods, and his team repaid his hard work in the third. A pair of power plays helped Dallas tie the game as Richards got the team on the board just 1:33 into the frame when his one-timer from the right circle got past Varlamov. Just over three minutes later, Daley's shot thrown on net from the left point got through traffic. A bit over three minutes after that goal, the Stars took their first lead of the game as Neal's shot from the left circle on the fly fooled Varlamov for his 25th goal of the season. Ovechkin, though, tied the game with 3:16 to play as he received the puck on the fly along the left wing, made a move to get to the inside and, off one foot, snapped the puck into the right corner. The Caps got on the board at the 2:51 mark of the first period as a pass from David Steckel at the right boards went to the slot where Poti gathered the puck and wristed it into the left corner. Washington took a 2-0 lead on the power play with 5:23 to play in the second period as Ovechkin's simple wrister at the top of the right circle found the back of the net. Game Notes Washington set a club record in shots over two periods with 42...Washington hosts Carolina on Wednesday...The Stars wrap up their three-game road trip in Buffalo on Wednesday...Washington had won the previous two against Dallas.

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.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
