Smith cools Rangers title talk

Soccer Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Walter Smith is refusing to entertain suggestions that his Rangers side have effectively wrapped up the Scottish Premier League title after restoring their 13-point lead at the top of the table.

Second-half strikes from Steven Whittaker and Kenny Miller wrapped up a 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock on Tuesday night in a further blow to Old Firm rivals Celtic's already slim title hopes.

Rangers have lost just one domestic game in the last 12 months, but Smith is still refusing to concede that a second straight league title is now theirs.

"To go a year with just one defeat is a fair achievement. For a team that doesn't get a lot of credit for a lot of things, the level of consistency in terms of results has been fantastic," he said.

"I was concerned about this game and last Saturday's against St Mirren. We had players coming back from international duty and the games are coming quite quickly, so there was a concern.

"However, it was a satisfying result. It was a poor first half from us and Killie were the better team."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
