Soccer Betting Lines

11/20/2011 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atletico Madrid earned a 3-2 victory over Levante on Sunday with all five goals coming with just 21 minutes remaining in the second half.

After scoreless 68 minutes, Pizzi kicked off the thrilling conclusion to give Atletico the lead, but Xavi Torres equalized for Levante three minutes later.

Adrian and Diego helped secure the win for Atletico with strikes in the 75th and 83rd minutes, but not before Ruben Suarez pulled a goal back in stoppage time to make for an uneasy finish at the Vicente Calderon.

Atletico moves into the top half of the table after winning two of its last three La Liga contests. It sits in ninth place with 16 points.

Levante continues to struggle, missing out on an opportunity to claim third place in the table with its third-straight loss.

After beginning the season winless from its first seven matches, Sporting Gijon has won three of its last five to pull out of the relegation zone. It sits 14th in the table with 12 points on the season.

With two losses in its last three games, Getafe has managed ten points from its opening 12 league contests.

Athletic Bilbao 2, Sevilla 1

Bilbao, Spain - Oscar de Marcos scored in the 71st minute to help Athletic Bilbao claim three points in a vital 2-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday.

Osasuna 0, Rayo Vallecano 0

Navarra, Spain - Osasuna was held scoreless at home on Sunday, as it played to a 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano at the Reyno de Navarra.

Osasuna, coming off of a 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid, and Rayo Vallecano are separated by a single point in the La Liga table with Rayo Vallecano holding the edge with 16 points on the year.

Granada 2, Mallorca 1 (Suspended)

Granada, Spain - Two second-half goals powered Granada to a 2-1 lead over Mallorca, but play was abandoned after the assistant referee was struck by an object from the crowd.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
