Wizards want more magic against RapidsSoccer Betting Lines07/16/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kansas City Wizards forward Teal Bunbury called Wednesday's 1-0 victory at the Columbus Crew "huge," and hopes the team can build on the result Saturday night at the Colorado Rapids. K.C. (4-8-3) won for the first time on the road this season Wednesday, and the result came against the Eastern Conference leaders. Although the Wizards still sit well off the pace in the standings, another victory could start a surge up the table in the second half of the season. Bunbury scored his first goal of the season in the victory at Crew Stadium and goalie Jimmy Nielsen posted his sixth shutout of the season. "I think it's a credit to everybody on the field, with all the work we've put in and getting the victory here is huge," Bunbury said. "It means a lot. I kept hearing how hostile and tough it was to come here and get a win, especially with this drought we've been having." "It was a great one-nil win away from home, and it's so important for us, and hopefully we can build on this victory and give ourselves some confidence," Nielsen said. K.C. lost five of its first six road games, and tied the other, and faces yet another tough road test at Dick's Sporting Goods Park against the Rapids. Colorado (6-4-4) had its six-match unbeaten streak snapped against Toronto FC last weekend, 1-0. However, the last three of those matches were draws, which means the Rapids are now winless in four straight. Colorado lost 1-0 to the Wizards at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on April 10, but has played well overall and is tied for third in the Western Conference. Rapids coach Gary Smith knows K.C. has struggled and, despite the Wizards' win at Columbus, feels his team has a chance to end the first half of its schedule with a victory. "Kansas City have been down on their luck a bit and it's an opportunity for us to get back in that winning vein," Smith said.

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.
