Crew square off with Dynamo at Robertson Stadium

Soccer Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Eastern Conference leading Columbus Crew travel to Houston to take on the Dynamo in Major League Soccer action on Saturday night.

The Crew have just two losses this season thanks in large part to the work of attackers Steven Lenhart and Jason Garey, who have been finding the back of the net recently. The two have alternated goals the last three matches, two of which were wins.

"When Steve starts he wears down defenders, and I come in and have a little more space," Garey told mlssoccer.com. "I try to do the same thing, wear down defenders then he or Emilio [Renteria] comes in and really causes problems."

Those two are hoping to cause problems for a Houston team that is winless in its last five MLS fixtures, including a 1-1 draw at Toronto in its last match.

"Yeah, you know, a little disappointed we didn't come away with three points just because we had the lead," Dynamo forward Brian Ching told mlssoccer.com. "When the season isn't going well, you have to go out there and play, and that's what we did [in Toronto]. It wasn't pretty, but we got a point out of it, and we're happy with that."

"We were unlucky enough to not come with more than one," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said of only scoring one goal. "[I] thought we were a little hard done by. It's a gritty performance by us; I was very encouraged by that and thought everyone put their heart and soul into it."

There were three red cards in the feisty game with Toronto, with striker Joseph Ngwenya being the only Dynamo player to get one. He will now be unavailable on Saturday because of the corresponding suspension.

Also out for Houston will be midfielder Geoff Cameron because of injury. Midfielder Brad Davis and forward Luis Angel Landin are questionable with knocks.

The Crew are relatively injury free, with veteran defenders Frankie Hejduk and Gino Padula both expected to be available with hamstring injuries.

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.
