Soccer Betting Lines

07/23/2008 - Stuttgart, Germany (Soccer Betting) - Stuttgart's Portugal international defender Fernando Meira has left Germany to join Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The 30-year-old defender has opted to move on despite having two years left to run on his current Stuttgart deal, with the two clubs having agreed an undisclosed fee to seal the deal.

Meira's departure follows the recent arrival of Netherlands stopper Khalid Boulahrouz from Chelsea.

A statement from sporting director Horst Heldt on the club's official website read:

"We would like to thank Fernando for the six-and-a-half years in the VfB jersey and wish him all the very best for his future in Turkey.

"As captain of the 2007 championship winning team, Fernando will always have a place in the history of the club."

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2007 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 2007 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.
