Soccer Betting Lines

08/20/2010 - West Bromwich, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Bromwich completed a double signing on Friday as the club added both Lokomotiv Moscow forward Peter Odemwingie and Somen Tchoyi from Red Bull Salzburg.

The 29-year-old Odemwingie represented Nigeria at this past summer's World Cup, and he joins the Baggies for an undisclosed fee with the club having the option to extend his contract an additional three years.

"I'm delighted to welcome Peter to the club. He is an exciting international, has a great CV and I'm sure seeing a player of his caliber coming into the club will give everyone a lift," West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo told the club's official website.

"We've brought him in as a striker but he can also play out wide, which gives me options."

Tchoyi also has successfully moved to The Hawthorns on Friday, and both players could receive clearance in time to make their debut for the club against Sunderland on Saturday.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super 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.

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.
