Wigan shocks Spurs

Soccer Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hugo Rodallega's goal 10 minutes from time handed Wigan an unlikely 1-0 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The result came just a few days after Tottenham sealed a place in the group stage of the Champions League with a 4-0 win over Young Boys, and it was all the more surprising considering that Wigan had been outscored 10-0 in its first two games to start the season.

The Latics flashed an early warning sign in the eighth minute when Steve Gohouri smashed a shot off the crossbar after a knockdown from Mauro Boselli, but Spurs seemed a step slower than they did in midweek, and the first half ended without much incident.

Wigan looked to be the more dangerous side in the second half as Antolin Alcaraz somehow fired over the net from a few yards, while substitute Jordi Gomez also wasted a good chance from close range.

Rodallega provided both crosses on the missed opportunities, but he found the net himself in the 80th minute with a low shot that goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini probably should have stopped.

Tottenham pressed forward for the equalizer in the final 10 minutes, but both Niko Kranjcar and Michael Dawson had their shots saved by Ali Al Habsi, while Younes Kaboul headed wide from five yards in stoppage time.

Chelsea continued its winning ways with a 2-0 win over Stoke City, while Manchester United rebounded from a 2-2 draw at Fulham with a comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham.

Andrei Arshavin's second-half goal helped Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Blackburn, a goal from Dickson Etuhu in the 87th minute salvaged a 2-2 draw for Fulham at Blackpool and Andrew Carroll scored his fourth goal in three games for Newcastle as the Magpies finished 1-1 with Wolverhampton.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
