Soccer Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - West Bromwich, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Bromwich acquired stikrer Marc- Antoine Fortune on Friday from Scottish club Celtic.

Fortune played at West Brom earlier in his career while on loan from Nancy and returns to the Premier League after signing a two-year contract. He played for Celtic in a 4-0 loss to Utrecht in the Europa League on Thursday, but could be in the lineup at Liverpool on Sunday.

"I'm delighted to welcome Marco back to the club. The great thing about this signing is that it won't take him long to settle in because he knows the club inside out. He also knows what this league is all about," West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo said on the club's website.

"Marco got on really well with the other players during his loan here and they're all delighted to see him back. He is a powerful striker who can hold the ball up and bring others into play and having also signed Peter Odemwingie, we now have plenty of competition up front."

Fortune scored five goals in 17 appearances in his previous stint at West Brom and scored 12 goals in 43 matches with Celtic.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
