Bordeaux edges Lille in nine-goal thriller

Soccer Betting Lines

02/12/2012 - Lille, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ludovic Obraniak scored 3 minutes into injury time and Bordeaux escaped Stadium Lille Metropole with a 5-4 win over Lille on Sunday in Ligue 1, despite blowing a three-goal second-half lead.

Nicolas Maurice-Belay scored a brace, Obraniak scored the first of his two and Yoan Gouffran all scored inside 60 minutes as Bordeaux built a three-goal lead that disappeared in the final half hour.

Eden Hazard scored in the 65th for Lille, Mathieu Debuchy followed in the 74th and Nolan Roux tied the match in the 90th, but the defending Ligue 1 champions were not able to capture even a single point.

Obraniak capped the nine-goal thriller when he directed a pass from Gregory Sertic into the net in the dying seconds, spoiling his former club's comeback, and sending Bordeaux home with three big points. He joined Bordeaux from Lille last month, following a long stint with the club from 2007-12.

Bordeaux won for the third time during a four-match unbeaten streak as it kept its European hopes alive. Lille lost for the second time in its last three and has slipped well off the pace off PSG and Montpellier in third place.

Nice 0, PSG 0

Nice, France - PSG dropped points for the first time under new manager Carlo Ancelotti on Sunday, but a 0-0 draw at Nice was still enough to return to the top of Ligue 1.

Montpellier displaced PSG on Saturday, but the lackluster effort in Nice moved PSG back to the summit by one point. PSG had won its first five matches in all competitions under Ancelotti.

Nice made it tough on PSG, and picked up a point that could eventually lead to its survival. Nice is 18th, two points from safety, after its third tie in its last five matches.

St Etienne 1, Toulouse 0

Toulouse, France - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 70th minute and St Etienne defeated Toulouse, 1-0, on Sunday in Ligue 1 for its fourth victory in its last six Ligue 1 matches.

St Etienne climbed to seventh in the table, while Toulouse lost for the third time in its last four to slip to eighth.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
