Bolton equalizes late to tie Bayern

Soccer Betting Lines

11/08/2007 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Davies scored in the 82nd minute as Bolton earned a surprising 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in Group F of the UEFA Cup on Thursday.

Ricardo Gardner gave Bolton the lead in the eighth minute, but Lukas Podolski scored two goals as Bayern Munich rallied for the second game in a row in the UEFA Cup.

Bayern needed an 86th minute goal from Miroslav Klose and a stoppage-time goal from Toni Kroos to win its first game in Group F, 3-2 over Red Star Belgrade.

The Bundesliga leaders couldn't hold off Bolton, though, surrendering the late equalizer to disappoint 66,000 fans at the Fubball Arena Munchen.

Gardner took advantage of poor defending for the early goal when Bayern failed to clear a throw-in. Gardner took a pass from Daniel Braaten and scored off a deflection.

Podolski, who took a reserve role this season with Bayern Munich following the signings of Luca Toni and Klose, scored his first goal in the 30th.

Midfielders Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger helped set up the score, which Podolski easily slipped past Bolton goalie Ali Al Habsi.

Podolski, who started in place of Toni, added his second goal after halftime off an assist from Ribery.

Bayern was in control after taking the lead, but after Podolski (57th), Ribery (60) and Schweinsteiger (73) were taken out, Bolton was able to find the tying goal.

Kevin Nolan, who scored a late equalizer against West Ham in the Premiership on Sunday, set up Davies' goal with a nice pass in the box. Davies struck the ball low past Bayern goalie Oliver Kahn.

Bayern visits Braga when UEFA Cup play continues on Nov. 29. Bolton (0-0-2) hosts Aris Thessaloniki on Nov. 29.

Also in Group F, Thanassis Papazoglou scored two of Aris Thessaloniki's three goals in the final 14 minutes of a 3-0 win over Red Star Belgrade.

In Group A, Mikel Arteta and Victor Anichebe scored in the final 10 minutes as Everton beat Nurnberg 2-0, and Konstatin Zurianov and Fatih Tekke scored in the final 20 minutes as Zenit St. Petersburg rallied for a 3-2 victory over Larissa.

In Group B, Dame Ndoye scored in the 15th minute and Panathinaikos held on for a 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen after Hjalte Bo Norregaard missed a penalty kick in the 64th minute, and Lokomotiv Moscow's Branislav Ivanovic scored in the 45th minute to equalize Alexander Diamond's goal in the 27th for Aberdeen in a 1-1 draw.

In Group C, Kahveci Nihat and Gonzalez Santi Cazorla scored as Villarreal defeated Mlada Boleslav 2-1, and Martin Jorgensen had two goals as Fiorentina rolled to a 6-1 win over Elfsborg.

In Group D, Basle held onto the top spot with a 0-0 draw at Dinamo Zagreb, and Bruno Cheyrou scored on a penalty kick in the 88th minute as Rennes tied Brann, 1-1.

In Group E, Roman Pavluchenko and Santos Batista Mozart scored on penalty kicks and Spartak Moscow held on for a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen, and Karol Kisel scored the second of his two goals in the 88th minute to lift Sparta Prague to a 3-2 win over Toulouse.

In Group G, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov scored in the first half and Tottenham had no trouble holding on for a 2-0 win after Hapoel Tel Aviv had a man sent off early in the second half, and Mattias Lindstrom scored in the 86th minute as AaB tied Anderlecht, 1-1.

In Group H, Henrik Larsson, Razak Omotoyossi and Christoffer Andersson scored as Helsinborg overcame two goals by Galatasaray's Shabani Nonda for a 3-2 win, and Silva Wendell converted a penalty in the 88th as Bordeaux rallied for a 2-1 win over Austria Vienna.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory.
