Nancy hopes to stay undefeated

Soccer Betting Lines

09/14/2007 - Lorraine, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nancy will try to continue its undefeated start on Saturday when it travels to the Stade Felix-Bollaert to play Lens.

On paper, this match looks to be very lopsided. Nancy sits in first place of the Ligue 1 table with 16 points, while Lens is second from the bottom with two points.

While Nancy has outscored its opponents, 13-4, in the early going, Lens has only found the back of the net once all season.

The only thing that Nancy has against them going into Saturday's match is that it might be without striker Kim. The Brazilian has been battling with the flu all week, and will be a game-time decision.

With Nancy stealing the spotlight in Ligue 1 this year, defending six-time league champions Lyon knows it must step up its game.

After dropping two of its first three games, Alain Perrin's side has rebounded to win its last three and is now looking to continue that streak at the Stade St Symphorien on Saturday against last-place Metz.

Metz has scored a league-low one goal through seven matches, and is one of three teams still searching for that first elusive victory.

In other matches on Saturday: Marseille is trying to find its form when it welcomes Toulouse to town; Auxerre is at home where it will attempt to avoid a league-high seventh loss versus Nice; Valenciennes will travel south to play Le Mans. Valenciennes has been a surprise this season, and with a victory, can take over the top spot; Frederic Hantz might be playing for his job when Sochaux plays Strasbourg at the Stade Auguste Bonal; St. Etienne can move to the .500 mark with a victory over Caen; Bordeaux seeks its fifth win in eight outings when it travels to Lille.

Ligue 1 will conclude with a pair of matches on Sunday. In the battle of Brittany, Lorient will be up against Rennes, and PSG will hope to collect the full three points for only the second time this season when it travels to Monaco. PSG leads the league with five draws as it sits on the bottom half of the table.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
