Aubameyang's hat trick topples Lorient

Soccer Betting Lines

02/22/2012 - Saint Etienne, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a second-half hat trick to help St Etienne to a 4-2 win over Lorient at the Geoffrey-Guichard Stadium on Wednesday.

The match came to life after a scoreless first half as Lorient's Arnold Mvuemba gave his team the lead from the penalty spot in the first five minutes of the second half.

Aubameyang equalized shortly before the hour mark and added a second goal in the 68th minute to put the hosts in front.

Mathias Autret responded 15 minutes from time to level the match for Lorient, but a pair of late goals propelled St Etienne to all three points.

An own goal in the 88th minute from Bruno Ecuele Manga put Lorient behind, and Aubameyang finished off his hat trick a few minutes later by volleying home a pass from Max Gradel.

St Etienne has claimed four wins from its last five games to take hold of fourth place in Ligue 1, while Lorient's struggles continued on Wednesday as the club remains in the bottom half of the league having gone winless in nine games.

Lille 1, Sochaux 0

Montbeliard, France - Lille edged closer to the leaders on Wednesday after securing a 1-0 win at Sochaux courtesy of Nolan Roux's 76th-minute goal.

The win lifts Lille to within six points of leaders PSG having won three of its last four games, with Sochaux rooted to the bottom of the league and winless in 11 games.

Lille's performance was far from convincing and goalkeeper Mickael Landreau needed to push a free kick from Sochaux's Marvin Martin off the post in the first half.

The visitors eventually took the lead when Roux headed home a corner kick 15 minutes from time. But the points weren't safe until the end as Sochaux's Cedric Bakambu beat Landreau with a shot in the final minutes that came back off the post.

Caen 2, Auxerre 1

Caen, France - Caen rallied for a 2-1 win over Auxerre on Wednesday with two goals in the final 20 minutes to move six points above the drop zone.

Auxerre's Roy Contout gave his team the lead on the hour mark but saw Kandia Traore and Livio Nabab combine on the equalizer as Traore took the return pass from Nabab and beat goalkeeper Olivier Sorin.

Caen seized the lead in the 77th minute when Nabab decided to go for goal from 22 yards and found the bottom corner, dooming Auxerre to a third defeat in five games.

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

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

If someone has the skills to predict every winner, they will be set for life and walk away with $10,000,000.  Even if no one can cash in on the Grand Prize, with a $35,000 guaranteed prize pool and a Mazda RX-8 to the first prize winner, Sportsbook.com’s bracket is a must for all “March Madness” fans.
