Washington fails to clinch playoff spotSoccer Betting Lines09/06/2010 - Bridgeview, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Freedom failed to clinch the final playoff spot in Women's Professional Soccer on Sunday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to the Chicago Red Stars. The Freedom entered Sunday's game needing a win over Chicago to book their spot in the playoffs, but Veronica Boquete assisted on second-half goals for Casey Nogueira and Megan Rapinoe before Washington pulled a goal back in the final seconds through Beverly Goebel. The result leaves Washington one point clear of Sky Blue FC with one game to play, and the Freedom will conclude their season next Saturday against the Atlanta Beat, while Sky Blue hosts the Boston Breakers. It took 50 minutes for the opening goal to arrive as Boquete slotted a pass through to Nogueira, who split two defenders and fired a shot off the inside of the left post and into the net. The Freedom's Sarah Huffman picked up a second yellow card in the 87th minute, earning her an early exit, and Chicago took advantage as Boquete set up Rapinoe's first goal of the season in the 90th minute. Goebel answered one minute later for Washington, but the team didn't have enough to time to find the equalizer and the Freedom will now need a win over Atlanta to ensure themselves of the fourth and final playoff spot. FC Gold Pride has already clinched the top spot in WPS, but they got goals from Marta and Tiffeny Milbrett early in the second half of a 2-0 win over Boston, while Atlanta and Sky Blue FC played to a 0-0 draw. Boston will now enter the final weekend with a one-point lead on the Philadelphia Independence in the race for second place.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy. MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line) Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line) Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.
