Hockey Betting Lines

10/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Capitals will open a three-game road trip tonight against the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center.

Washington has dropped five of its last six games, including Friday's 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks at the Verizon Center. Alexander Ovechkin had a goal and an assist, while Michael Nylander scored the other goal for the Capitals, who started the season 3-0.

Caps goaltender Olaf Kolzig made 23 saves in the losing cause. Ovechkin looks for his third straight multi-point game and has five points in his last two contests.

In injury news for Washington, captain Chris Clark is expected to miss Saturday's game after he was hit in the head by an errant Ovechkin slap shot on Friday. Clark needed stitches in his left ear.

St. Louis, meanwhile, has dropped two of its last three games since a four- game winning streak. In Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Blues netminder Hannu Toivonen recorded 25 saves in his first start for St. Louis.

Veteran netminder Manny Legace is expected to be in net for the Blues on Saturday after sitting out Thursday's loss.

Washington and St. Louis are meeting for the first time since the Capitals defeated the Blues, 5-4, in a shootout on January 19 of the 2005-06 season.

St. Louis is 8-1-1 in the last 10 encounters with the Capitals.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
