Houston's struggles continue at Columbus

Soccer Betting Lines

07/24/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew extended their lead atop Major League Soccer's Eastern table with a 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night at Crew Stadium.

Edgar Renteria scored in the first half, and Andy Iro and Leandre Griffit added goals in the final 10 minutes to help the Crew (10-3-4) to their second straight league win and 10th of the season overall.

After the teams battled to a stalemate for the first half-hour, Renteria took advantage of a mistake by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who was starting because of an abdomen injury to veteran Pat Onstad.

Hall, who was making just his second MLS start, misplayed a long ball at the top of the Houston penalty area and fell to the turf, allowing Renteria to scoop up the loose ball and walk into the net for his fourth goal of the season in the 34th minute.

The Dynamo's chances of coming back took a hit late in the second half when central defender Bobby Boswell picked up his second yellow for a hard foul on Renteria, forcing his team to play a man down the rest of the way.

The Crew capitalized in the 84th minute when Iro deflected a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick past Hall for his third goal of the season.

Late substitute Griffit collected a Schelotto rebound in the area and slotted home his first MLS goal to make it 3-0 in the closing seconds.

The Dynamo (5-8-4), who are now winless in their last seven MLS fixtures, will try to earn the full points when they host Red Bull New York next Saturday, while the Crew travel to take on Chivas USA later the same night in their next MLS fixture.

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.
