Soccer Betting Lines

11/22/2006 - Zurich, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The FIFA/Coca-Cola rankings for the month of November were released on Wednesday, with Brazil holding a 28-point edge over second-place Italy.

The defending World Cup champions pulled level with mighty Brazil after their draw against Turkey. However, the South American powerhouse picked up the 28- point difference with a win over Switzerland in a friendly at the end of the month.

The rest of the top 10 saw minimal changes from last month. Argentina now owns the third spot in the rankings, swapping positions with France, who are currently fourth. England, Germany and the Netherlands remain five, six and seven respectively, while Portugal moved up one spot into eighth. Nigeria earned 103 points in the past month, moving up two spots into the ninth postion. The Czech Republic dropped 63 points and now occupy the 10th position at the expense of Spain, who fell out of the top 10 and into 12th after losing 44 points.

Croatia climbed four spots from last month to 15th after securing 66 points, but Russia made the most impressive move up the standings, improving 10 slots to 23rd, its highest position since early 2003, on the strength of a good run of play in EURO 2008 qualifying.

Romania moved into the top 20 as it jumped four spots in the rankings with 42 points earned in the last month. Poland also enjoyed a good month, moving from 27 to the 22nd spot with 55 points earned.

Uruguay suffered the biggest drop, moving down 12 spots to No. 29. Speaking of dropping, the United States continued to fall in the rankings despite earning five points. The Stars and Stripes currently sit in 31st, two points ahead of Tunisia, and 10 points back of Ecuador.

Uzbekistan and Cuba are in the highest positions they have ever occupied since the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings were introduced. Both countries moved up considerably based on success in continental qualifying matches. Uzbekistan moved up 14 spots and into 45th, while Cuba jumped 22 spots to take over the 46th position.

Points are accumulated based on the results of a team's matches over the past four years, the importance of each match, the strength of the opponent, the strength of the region and the number of matches per year that each team plays.

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.
