Braun leads Chivas USA to road win against K.C.Soccer Betting Lines07/10/2010 - Kansas City, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Braun scored two goals in the second half as Chivas USA defeated the Kansas City Wizards, 2-0, on Saturday night at CommunityAmerica Ballpark for its first MLS victory in more than two months. Braun scored in the 56th and 87th minutes, helping Chivas USA end a seven-game winless run dating back to a 4-0 win over the New England Revolution on May 5. Braun leads Chivas (4-9-2) with six goals. Kansas City (3-8-3) lost its third straight. The Wizards have just one victory in their last 12 MLS matches. K.C. created better chances in the first half, but Davy Arnaud fired high, Kei Kamara was denied off a well-executed free kick by Chivas goalie Zach Thornton and Josh Wolff couldn't solve Thornton from a tough angle. Thornton left the match with an apparent ankle injury after the save on Wolff, and Michael Lahoud followed with a half-chance that K.C. goalie Jimmy Nielsen saved to keep the match scoreless at halftime. Four streakers ran onto the field at halftime but Braun turned heads after the break. Kamara turned a header wide early for K.C., then Braun scored the first of his two goals to send Chivas on its way to its second road win this year. Braun latched onto a poor clearance from Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad and hit the upper-right corner from 17 yards to leave Nielsen no chance in the 56th. Stephane Auvray should have tied the match with just over 15 minutes remaining but put a wide-open header into the side netting off a corner from just a few yards out. Braun followed with his second goal, this time on a perfect shot from the edge of the area to the top-left corner to seal the win with three minutes left. K.C. will try to bounce back Wednesday with its first road win of the year at the Columbus Crew. Chivas is off until July 24 when it visits Real Salt Lake.

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
