Toronto hopes to stop six-game slide

Soccer Betting Lines

08/17/2007 - Toronto, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto FC will be trying to win its first game since July 4, when it welcomes Chivas USA to BMO Field on Saturday afternoon.

Mo Johnston's club has not won in six straight outings, and has not scored in the last five of those matches. Toronto, which has played 467 consecutive minutes without finding the back of the net, has not celebrated a goal since a 1-1 draw with the Fire on July 7.

As bad as the Toronto offense has been lately, it is the other side of the ball which needs to step up its game. The Toronto defense has surrendered a league-high 32 goals through 20 matches.

On the other hand, Chivas has only allowed 19 goals through its 17 affairs this season.

Chivas has won two of its last three games, but has not been on the pitch in three weeks. It has not been in any type of competition since falling to the Wizards, 3-2, on July 29.

Toronto is hoping that being at home will bring it the good fortune it needs. Four of the five Toronto victories have come outside the United States, while Chivas has only won two of its 10 road matches in 2007.

Each team will be missing a player due to suspension. Chris Pozniak will be forced to sit for Toronto, while Claudio Suarez is out until August 19 for Chivas after picking up five yellow cards.

Jeff Cunningham, who has three goals for Toronto, is listed as questionable with an adductor injury.

This will be the second all-time meeting between the two clubs, as Chivas blanked Toronto, 2-0, at the Home Depot Center on First Kick 2007.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
