Inter ties history

Soccer Betting Lines

12/23/2006 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With a 2-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday, Serie A's first-place Internazionale equaled the all-time league record for consecutive wins, with its 11th, in front of the home fans at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Atalanta scored first, quieting the fans for the mean time, as Inter looked a little lethargic following a 2-0 midweek fixture against Lazio, but Brazilian Adriano evened it up in the second stanza, before an own-goal decided it in the 75th.

The opener came on a Luca Ariatti chip to Doni that landed on the edge of the penalty area before the midfielder put the visitors up 1-0 with a one-time volley that goalkeeper Julio Cesar couldn't stop in the 17th minute.

Atalanta continued to push forward, almost doubling its lead in the 24th minute when Riccardo Zampagna controlled a through-ball, unleashing a shot that brought Cesar into action with a point-blank save.

Going into the half down one seemed to fire up the hosts, and five minutes after the recess Adriano had his chance to even it up but saw his shot trickle wide, while just after the hour mark a Hernan Crespo volley was taken care of by goalkeeper Alex Calderoni.

Inter eventually got the equalizer in the 65th minute of play when Adriano redeemed himself with a diving header off a Luis Figo cross from the left flank.

It just seemed to be Inter's half and that was proven with six minutes left, as Figo curled a free-kick into the box, meeting the head of Atalanta's Simone Loria whose attempted clear ended up in his own net for the 2-1 Inter win.

In other Serie A play on Saturday, Ascoli put on an impressive 3-0 victory over Chievo Verona with a pair of goals from Sasa Bjelanovic, while Livorno and Torino stay locked on the Serie A table with a 1-1 draw, as Siena and Palermo battled to the same result at the Artemio Franchi.

Catania Calcio moved back into fourth place in Serie A with its 4-2 victory over Sampdoria, while Lazio defeated Parma 3-1 in a game that showcased all four scores in the first half. AC Milan continue its climb up the table following its beginning of the season point deficit with a 3-0 road triumph against Udinese, as Messina fell hard, suffering a 4-0 defeat to Fiorentina.

A pair of first-half goals from Nicola Amoruso helped lead Reggina 4-1 over Empoli at the Stadio Oreste Granillo, while a goal in either stanza carried Roma to a 2-0 victory against visiting Cagliari.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
