Colorado travels for inter-conference match-up with Red BullsSoccer Betting Lines09/10/2010 - Harrison, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Rapids travel to take on Red Bull New York on Saturday in an inter-conference clash between the two Major league Soccer clubs at Red Bull Arena. Colorado (9-6-7) is riding high after two straight 3-0 wins at home, and it will be aiming to take the momentum gained on the road this weekend. "The group is confident in each other," Colorado coach Gary Smith told mlssoccer.com after his team's most recent win vs. Chivas USA. "They hit the back of the net last week and they've done exactly the same tonight. There is a core of players here who, when things aren't going according to plan, they don't just buckle." At the head of the group are striker partners Omar Cummings and Conor Casey, who combined for all three goals last weekend. Cummings actually won the MLS Player of the Week after recording two of those goals last weekend, and has scored three in his last two league fixtures. He and Casey are finally clicking after having a rough start to the season. "Conor and I are playing closer together and we are enjoying playing with each other," Cummings told mlssoccer.com. "I kind of missed that relationship and it's good to get it back." The Rapids will have their hands full at New York (11-8-4). The Red Bulls are coming off a 1-0 loss at Real Salt Lake, but were without a number of regulars who were on international duty. Goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul, left back Roy Miller and midfielders Dane Richards and Rafa Marquez are all expected to be available for the Red Bulls on Saturday. Also expected to be available is forward Thierry Henry, who was held out of training on Tuesday with a knock. "He said it was okay," New York coach Hans Backe told mlssoccer.com of Henrys injury. "He'll be ready for the full 90 [on Saturday.]" The game takes on additional importance for both teams, because of the rapids earn a victory, they pull even with the red Bull in the league's overall table, which could effect playoff seeding down the road if New York falls out of the top two in the East. "[New York are] the marquee team in the league, extremely talented individuals who have come together as a group this year," Smith said. "If we can get a result, we go level with them." The Rapids will be without midfielders Colin Clark and Ciaran O'Brien, and forward Ross Schunk because of injuries. Goalkeeper Matt Pickens and defender Marvell Wynne could see action if they recover from previous injuries, however. New York will be without midfielders Giorgi Chirgadze, Luke Sassano and Brian Nielsen, and defender Jeremy Hall because of injuries.

Huskers' Lucky hospitalized for undisclosed reason LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska running back Marlon Lucky was hospitalized Monday for undisclosed reasons after Lincoln police responded to a call at his residence. The Nebraska athletic department said in a release Monday that Lucky was admitted Sunday night. MySportsbook.com has the Cornhuskers listed at +2500 to win the BCS National Championship odds. A nursing supervisor at the hospital said all questions about Lucky were being referred to the athletic department. The athletic department said there would be no further comment from the department or Lucky's family. A Lincoln Police spokesman said officers responded to a call at Lucky's residence 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said he didn't know Lucky's condition at the time he was taken to the hospital. Lucky, from North Hollywood, Calif., started six games last season as a sophomore and was the team's second-leading rusher, with 728 yards and six touchdowns. He also caught 32 passes for 383 yards. He averaged 19.1 yards on eight kickoff returns. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com - this sportsbook accepts credit cards. Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet). For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win. TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures. Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
