09/04/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Revolution kept their slim Major League Soccer playoff aspirations alive with a 3-1 win over Seattle Sounders FC at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night.
Goals by Chris Tierney, Marko Perovic and Kheli Dube in the final 20 minutes put an end to Seattle's seven game unbeaten run in league play.
After the two teams battled to a scoreless first half, Seattle Steve Zakuani opened the scoring with his eight goal of the season just before the hour mark.
The play was started with a throw-in on the right side that eventually was played into the corner of the New England penalty area to Alvaro Fernandez. Fernandez then played a ball to James Riley, who threaded a pass to Zakuani for a close-range blast into the net.
The Revs equalized in the 71st minute when Tierney scored his first goal of the season, heading home a Shalrie Joseph flick from a long throw-in by Kevin Alston.
Just two minutes later the Revs took their first lead of the game when Perovic knocked a loose ball past Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller. The goal was Perovic's sixth of the season.
Dube added his first of the season in the 81st minute, capitalizing on a give- and-go with Ilija Stolica to close out the scoring.
The Revs (7-12-3) will aim to build on the solid effort at Chivas USA on Friday, while Seattle (9-9-5) hopes to rebound at Real Salt Lake on Thursday in its next MLS fixture.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
