AZ Alkmaar's unbeaten streak reaches 16 games

Soccer Betting Lines

01/18/2009 - Volendam, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eredivisie leaders AZ Alkmaar got goals from Ari and David Mendes as the club extended its unbeaten streak in the league to 16 games with a 2-0 win over last-place Volendam.

Ari's goal came 11 minutes into the match, while Mendes scored in the 79th minute to secure all three points and keep AZ three points clear of second- place Ajax, which downed NEC 4-2.

Volendam has now won just once in its last six and is at the bottom of the table by four points.

After a scoreless first half, Ajax and NEC combined for six goals and one red card in an eventful second half that started with a Miralem Sulejmani goal for Ajax in the 48th minute.

NEC answered through Ramon Zomer two minutes later, but Sulejmani restored his team's lead with another goal in the 54th minute.

Again the home side had a reply as Youssef El Akchaoui scored midway through the second half, and things got even better for NEC when Dario Cvitanich was sent off in the 70th minute for Ajax.

However, an unlucky own-goal from Dani Fernandez with 12 minutes to play put NEC behind by a goal, and with the team pushing forward for an equalizer, Gabri sealed the win in stoppage time.

PSV Eindhoven fell even further back of the leaders as the defending champions were held to a 1-1 draw by Roda, which entered the day second from the bottom.

Timmy Simons put PSV ahead from the penalty spot in the 59th minute, but Roda answered less than one minute later through Willem Janssen, earning a share of the points.

PSV has now won just two of its last six games and sits 13 points off the lead in fifth place, while Groningen remains in seventh after playing to a 1-1 draw with Sparta.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

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.
