Club Down Season Minutes

Soccer Betting Lines

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - PSG squandered a chance to take over the top spot in Ligue 1 on Sunday after being held to a 0-0 draw at home by Lille. PSG entered the weekend level with Montpellier at the summit, but had a chance to take over sole possession of the top spot after Montpellier's 1-1 draw with Toulouse on Saturday.

 

PSG's Kevin Gameiro had a good chance in the first half to put his team in front when he was played free by Javier Pastore, only to fire wide of the net.

 

Mathieu Debuchy's header required a sharp save from PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu to keep it out, while Sirigu was needed to make another decent stop on Ireneusz Jelen to keep the match level.

 

Bordeaux, France - Bordeaux's good form at home continued on Sunday as the club secured a 1-0 win over Sochaux at the Stade Chaban Dalmas.

 

Sochaux has now earned one of a possible 15 points from its last five matches and sits one point above the drop zone.

 

The visitors created the better chances over the course of 90 minutes but were punished in the 83rd minute when Johan Cavalli's cross was converted by Diawara, handing Rennes a defeat that keeps the club in seventh place.

 

Despite the win, Ajaccio is still six points from safety.

 

The case will be heard on January 26 by UEFA's control and disciplinary body.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
