06/25/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United hopes the momentum it gained right before the FIFA World Cup break didn't wear off as it travels to take on the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer action on Saturday.
After starting the season 1-8-0, United went 2-0-1 before the break, capped off with a 2-1 win at Seattle Sounders FC on June 10.
"We want to build off of what we've been doing here," United midfielder Santino Quaranta told mlssoccer.com. "We're not far out of being into some contention here, we hit these next couple of games, we get a few points and we're looking pretty good. There's plenty of games left, we're getting a lot of guys back [from injury]. There's a lot of challenges for [head coach] Curt [Onalfo] to pick the 11, so we're doing well."
Despite facing off against the Eastern COnference leaders, United is confident it can get a result on Saturday.
"They like to attack," Quaranta said. "[Guillermo Barros] Schelotto seems to run that team with [Eddie] Gaven and [Robbie] Rogers on the outside. They're a talented team but if we go in with the right mentality, I feel like there's three points there for sure."
The Crew (6-2-3) sputtered a little before the break, going 0-2-1 in its final three, including a 1-0 loss at Colorado on June 5 in its last MLS fixture. The game will kick off a stretch in which Columbus plays five of six at Crew Stadium, however, which is reason for optimism.
"It's a chance to get a lot of points," Crew captain Frankie Hejduk told mlssoccer.com. "It's in the back of our minds a little bit, but let's worry about D.C. now and get the points there."
The Crew should be relatively healthy for the game, while D.C. United will be without midfielder Brandon Barklage, defenders Bryan Namoff, Juan Manuel Pena, Carey Talley and Rodney Wallace. Also, midfielder Christian Castillo is doubtful, defender Jordan Graye is questionable, and defender Marc Burch is probable, all with injuries.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
