Eskandarian headed to Toronto

Soccer Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto FC took another step towards its inaugural Major League Soccer season by acquiring forward Alecko Eskandarian from D.C. United in exchange for a partial allocation.

The 24-year-old was the top overall selection in the 2003 MLS Superdraft by United. His four seasons in the nation's capital were hindered by various injuries, but the New Jersey native still managed to post 20 goals and seven assists in 81 appearances.

"Alecko was a tireless worker on and off the field for this club and it is difficult to part with him," said United technical director Dave Kasper. "He has been a big part of our recent accomplishments. We are, however, on the verge of signing major contributors and we know that in order to get something of value, we have to give up something of value."

United fell to New England last campaign in the Eastern Conference Championship after finishing the regular season with a league-high 55 points.

As for Toronto, this move adds to its offensive weapons for 2007 as Eskandarian joins Ronnie O'Brien, Jose Cancela and Edson Buddle on the front line.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
