11/16/2008 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kaka converted a penalty kick in the 15th minute to give AC Milan a 1-0 win over Chievo at the San Siro on Sunday, keeping the Rossoneri within one point of league-leaders Inter Milan.
The penalty was the lone bright spot in an otherwise slow-paced first half as Ronaldinho chipped a ball into the box from the left wing for Kaka, who was tripped up inside the area by Chievo's Simone Bentivoglio.
Kaka picked himself up and stepped to the spot before driving the ball straight down the middle as Chievo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino dove to his right.
Milan entered the match unbeaten in its last nine games in Serie A, and they were determined to make it 10 by looking to add to the lead in the second half.
Ronaldinho was at the center of the Milan attack, and he forced Sorrentino to make a good diving stop with his shot from 14 yards.
Goalkeeper Christian Abbiati was not very busy in the Milan net, but he was called upon in the 59th minute when Bentivoglio smashed a low shot for the bottom left corner from 35 yards. Abbiati reacted well and tipped the ball around the post, but it would be the last time he was seriously tested.
Pato was brought on as a substitute on the hour mark and he almost found the net with nine minutes to play as Ronaldinho slipped a neat pass behind the defense on the right, but Pato fired his shot into the keeper's legs, while Sorrentino denied Marek Jankulovski a late insurance tally.
Chievo has now dropped its last five games and sits at the bottom of the table after Reggina's surprising 1-0 win over Udinese on Sunday.
Napoli fell to fourth place after conceding two goals in the final two minutes of a 3-1 loss to Atalanta, Giuseppe Mascara scored three times in a 3-2 win for Catania against Torino, Robert Acquafresca's first-half penalty kick was enough for Cagliari to earn three points against Fiorentina in a 1-0 match, Sampdoria turned away Lecce 3-2 despite two goals from Simone Tiribocchi, Bologna and Siena played to a 1-1 draw and Roma edged Lazio 1-0.

As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
