Houston's struggles continue at Columbus
Soccer Betting Lines
07/24/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew extended their lead atop Major League Soccer's Eastern table with a 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night at Crew Stadium.
Edgar Renteria scored in the first half, and Andy Iro and Leandre Griffit added goals in the final 10 minutes to help the Crew (10-3-4) to their second straight league win and 10th of the season overall.
After the teams battled to a stalemate for the first half-hour, Renteria took advantage of a mistake by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who was starting because of an abdomen injury to veteran Pat Onstad.
Hall, who was making just his second MLS start, misplayed a long ball at the top of the Houston penalty area and fell to the turf, allowing Renteria to scoop up the loose ball and walk into the net for his fourth goal of the season in the 34th minute.
The Dynamo's chances of coming back took a hit late in the second half when central defender Bobby Boswell picked up his second yellow for a hard foul on Renteria, forcing his team to play a man down the rest of the way.
The Crew capitalized in the 84th minute when Iro deflected a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick past Hall for his third goal of the season.
Late substitute Griffit collected a Schelotto rebound in the area and slotted home his first MLS goal to make it 3-0 in the closing seconds.
The Dynamo (5-8-4), who are now winless in their last seven MLS fixtures, will try to earn the full points when they host Red Bull New York next Saturday, while the Crew travel to take on Chivas USA later the same night in their next MLS fixture.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
