Busch miscue helps Rapids end winless run vs. 'Quakes

Soccer Betting Lines

08/07/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Rapids got a lucky bounce to top the San Jose Earthquakes, 1-0, on Saturday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

After having bounces go every way but theirs over the last seven Major League Soccer fixtures - none of which were wins - the Rapids saw a tough-angle drive go off the hands of San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch and into his net for an own goal in the 26th minute.

The goal stood up as the game winner as the Rapids (7-5-6) put an end to their winless streak.

Rapids striker Omar Cummings fired the cross from the right side that deflected off the hands of the usually sure-handed Busch, who was trying to scoop the ball heading through the six-yard box.

Busch made a series of tough saves in the second half to keep his team within striking distance, but it was unable to generate much on the offensive side to bail him out.

The Earthquakes (6-6-5), who have lost two straight, will aim to rebound when they host the Kansas City Wizards next Saturday, while Colorado will try to string together a couple wins in a row at Philadelphia the same night in its next MLS fixture.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
