Another Serie A crown for Inter

Soccer Betting Lines

05/16/2010 - Siena, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inter Milan claimed its fifth successive Serie A title on Sunday as Diego Milito's goal in the 57th minute was enough to give Inter a 1-0 win at Siena.

The Nerazzurri entered the final day of the season with a two-point lead on second-placed Roma, but for a while, it looked like Jose Mourinho's side was in danger of giving the title away.

Inter was being held to a 0-0 draw at halftime, while Roma led Chievo, 2-0, at the break with goals from Mirko Vucinic and Daniele de Rossi.

However, Milito scored the necessary goal to keep his team on top, clinching the 18th Serie A crown in club history for Inter.

Siena had already been assured of relegation prior to kickoff, but they survived a number of chances in the first half to make the champions a bit nervous.

Mario Balotelli sent his volley just wide of the far post from six yards before Milito had a close-range header kept out by goalkeeper Gianluca Curci, who reacted well to make the save.

Balotelli was at it again in the 38th minute with an overhead kick that struck the crossbar, but Inter continued to be frustrated.

Curci produced a good save on Milito shortly after halftime when he tipped a powerful shot from the Argentine over the crossbar, while Milito volleyed the ensuing corner kick over the net from inside the six-yard box.

However, the breakthrough finally arrived minutes later when Javier Zanetti weaved past two defenders and laid the ball off to Milito, who drove it into the bottom right corner from eight yards.

Dejan Stankovic tried to double the lead 15 minutes from time, but his shot hit the crossbar, while Inter survived a late scare from Aleandro Rosi, whose right-wing cross barely missed the far post in the 87th minute.

Sampdoria did enough on Sunday to secure fourth place as they got a goal from Giampaolo Pazzini early in the second half of a 1-0 win over Napoli, while Palermo has to settle for fifth despite beating Atalanta, 2-1, with a late penalty kick goal from Edison Cavani.

Bari doubled up on Fiorentina, 2-0, Cagliari and Bologna played to a 1-1 draw, Catania's Maxi Lopez scored the lone goal in his team's 1-0 win against Genoa and Davide Lanzafame tallied two goals in a 4-1 win for Parma over Livorno.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
