St Etienne eases relegation worriesSoccer Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Saint Etienne, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St Etienne moved seven points clear of the bottom three on Sunday with a comfortable 3-0 win over Monaco at the Geoffroy Guichard Stadium. Blaise Matuidi had the home side in front after 14 minutes, and goals from Gonzalo Bergessio and Emmanuel Riviere in the final 15 minutes sealed the win, which is only the second in 11 games for St Etienne. Monaco could have moved into third with a win, but they are now sixth, level on 39 points with Auxerre and Marseille. St Etienne entered the game without a goal in its last six home contests, but that streak came to an end in the 14th minute when some good work by Dimitri Payet allowed Matuidi to fire into the bottom corner of the net from 10 yards. Bakary Sako came close to doubling the lead before halftime when his volley sailed inches wide of the post, while both goalkeepers needed to be alert to keep the match at 1-0. St Etienne's Jeremie Janot kept out a good effort from Thomas Mangani, with Monaco netminder Stephane Ruffier doing well to keep out Bergessio's shot. Ruffier was unable to prevent Bergessio from scoring 15 minutes from time, however, as he easily beat the keeper with a side-footed shot after a good pass from Riviere. The hosts remained two goals ahead when defender Yohan Benalouane cleared a header off the goal line from Yannick Sagbo, and the lead was extended to three goals right before the final whistle with a great individual goal from Riviere. Lyon remained in fourth place as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Toulouse, while Marseille pounded Valenciennes, 5-1.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy. MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line) Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line) Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.
