Eintracht rallies to beat Borussia DortmundSoccer Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Dortmund, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sebastian Jung and Alexander Meier scored goals in the final 25 minutes to help Eintracht complete a 3-2 comeback victory against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday. The visitors went ahead in the eighth minute with a goal from Benjamin Kohler, but after Mats Hummels equalized nine minutes later, Lucas Barrios handed Dortmund a 2-1 lead with a little over 30 minutes to play. However, Jung leveled the contest in the 65th minute and Meier scored the winner nine minutes later, moving Eintracht three places up the Bundesliga table and into seventh. Patrick Ochs set up the opening goal with a right-wing cross to the middle of the penalty area where he found Kohler, who had plenty of space to head the ball inside the left post. Hummels equalized nine minutes later from a corner kick as Eintracht failed to properly clear the ball and Mohamed Zidan played it to the feet of Hummels, who scored from inside the six-yard box. Halil Altintop poked a shot past Dortmund goalkeeper Marc Ziegler, but Hummels retreated in time to clear the ball off the goal line. Altintop had another opportunity with a free header from the middle of the area, but he missed the target, while Barrios notched his 11th goal of the campaign to put Dortmund in front in the 57th minute after a nice pass from Zidan. Jung was able to pull the visitors level minutes later when his free kick took a deflection off of Dortmund's Nuri Sahin and found its way past Ziegler, and they went in front in the 74th minute when Altintop played Meier in on goal and he beat the keeper with a shot inside the far post. Dortmund had one final chance to snatch a point in stoppage time, but Felipe Santana headed over the goal from inside the six-yard box. Sunday's other contest saw Mainz climb into eighth place as Bo Svensson's goal right before halftime was enough to give his team a 1-0 win over Monchengladbach.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit CardsMichael 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. 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.
