Dynamo jump back into league action at Crew

Soccer Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo get back into Major League Soccer action on Saturday after a two week break when they travel to take on the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium.

The Dynamo (5-7-4) played three SuperLiga matches during their break, going 2-0-1 while topping Mexican team's Pachuca and Pueblo to win their group.

"Overall, to come out on top of this group, I am pleased for the guys," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear told mlssoccer.com.

Now the Western Conference club sets its sights back on league play, traveling to play the Crew, which it played in its last MLS fixture as well, a scoreless draw on July 10.

"I think we're just inches away from pulling off something good here," Kinnear said after the game. "We are inching along, and we need to take some big steps now, but I do think we are on the verge of starting to do that."

The Crew (9-3-4) are coming off a top-of-the-table match with Red Bull New York that they dominated 2-0 to take a five point lead in the East.

"We found the goals," forward Guillermo Barros Schelotto told mlssoccer.com. "They didn't have opportunities to score. We controlled the game for 90 minutes."

The win snapped a two-game winless run in league play, so the first-placed Crew were happy to bounce back.

"We played one of the best games," Crew coach Robert Warzycha told mlssoccer.com. "The players responded very well. As a team we played very well."

The Crew will have to find a way to get a positive result at home without two key players, veteran defender Frankie Hejduk and midfielder Brian Carroll, who will miss the game because of suspension and injury, respectively.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
