Soccer Betting Lines

01/28/2007 - Alkmaar, Holland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AZ Alkmaar climbed into second place in the Dutch Eredivisie standings - at least temporarily - with a 3-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam on Saturday.

Goals by Shota Arveladze and Maarten Martens and an own goal by Steve Olfers earned three points for the team and jumped them over idle Ajax in the table.

PSV still own a nine point lead in the table before its contest on Sunday.

Sparta's struggling defense showed its recent form when Arveladze opened the scoring in the 22nd minute.

He took a long pass in the box, turned and chipped a shot off the post and into the net for the 1-0 lead.

A couple minutes after the break Olfers put the ball into his own net to give the hoe squad a 2-0 lead before Martens deposited a pass from Danny Koevermans in the 52nd minute to close out the scoring.

In the other Eredivisie contest on Saturday, Willem II and Vitesse Arnhem battled to a scoreless draw, FC Utrecht topped relegation-zoned Excelsior 1-0 and NEC edged NAC Breda 2-1.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
