Soccer Betting Lines

02/02/2012 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Earthquakes signed Colombian midfielder Tressor Moreno on Thursday, pending receipt of his P-1 visa.

Moreno, 33, has played for clubs in Colombia, France, Chile, Mexico and Peru, and played 32 matches for Colombia's national team from 2000-07.

"Tressor has great vision and is a terrific passer of the ball," said San Jose manager Frank Yallop. "He's a proven No. 10 at the international level and is coming off a successful season in Chile.

"He brings a new element to our squad that we've been looking for and we're excited to have him."

An attacking midfielder, his club stops include San Luis in Mexico. Moreno had 17 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for the club. Moreno was last with Santiago Wanderers in Chile.

"Tressor is a classic No. 10," said Quakes general manager John Doyle. "He's a guy who can dictate the tempo of a game and really take control for us. He has the ability to score goals, but more importantly can set other guys up."

Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
