Soccer Betting Lines

08/10/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chelsea confirmed Tuesday it has agreed to a deal with Real Madrid for Ricardo Carvalho, and the transfer will be sealed when the Portuguese defender passes a physical and agrees to a contract with the Spanish club.

Carvalho joined Chelsea in 2004, following manager Jose Mourinho from Porto to Chelsea. Mourinho now coaches Real Madrid, where the pair will reunite for the third time.

Porto and Mourinho won the Champions League in 2004 with Porto. Mourinho won the event again last season with Inter Milan, but joined Real this offseason.

Carvalho had 11 goals in 210 appearances for Chelsea. He helped the Blues win three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and two English League Cups. He made just 18 appearances last season with Chelsea.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
