Saborio claims MLS Player of the Week award
Soccer Betting Lines
05/17/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week for Week 8, it was announced on Monday.
Saborio claimed the award after tallying two goals in Real Salt Lake's 3-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Thursday, which leaves RSL in second place in the Western Conference.
With his team already leading 1-0, Saborio doubled the lead in the 24th minute when he picked up a loose ball at the top of the area and unleashed a shot that landed just inside the post past Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad.
In the 60th minute, Saborio added his second goal of the game as Javier Morales delivered a free kick into the penalty area that was nodded home by Saborio.
The striker has now tallied four goals and two assists for Real Salt Lake in 2010 and head coach Jason Kreis believes that Saborio is showing his natural scoring instincts.
"He's sort of the prototypical goal scorer," Kreis told the team's official website about Saborio. "He finds himself in some great positions in front of the goal. We've seen now in the past several weeks that he's had a lot of excellent opportunities and he should probably have a couple more goals. We will look for continued form from him."
The Major League Soccer Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from The North American Soccer Reporters (soccerreporters.com). The group consists of members of online, print, television, and radio media.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
