Adler named Germany's top goalie

Soccer Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Germany will start Rene Adler in goal in a friendly against Argentina on Wednesday, leaving no doubt the Bayer Leverkusen goalie is the favorite to start in the World Cup.

Germany coach Joachim Loew previously said the starter against Argentina would also start in this summer's World Cup. Goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke said on Tuesday choosing Adler "was not a difficult decision."

"In the race for the number one spot, Rene Adler currently has the edge," said Kopke. "He had excellent performances in every game we put him in the goal."

Adler, 25, has led Bayer Leverkusen to an unbeaten start through 24 matches in the Bundesliga. Schalke's Manuel Neuer and Werder Bremen's Tim Wiese are also likely to be the World Cup roster.

"I feel good about this nomination, especially considering the magnitude of the game," Adler said. "It's great to play against some of the best players in the world."

Adler could still lose the No. 1 role before the World Cup starts in June, but if he continues to play well, he will start in South Africa.

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

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
