Barrett's stoppage-time goal lifts L.A. over Crew

Soccer Betting Lines

09/24/2011 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Galaxy were just fine without David Beckham and Robbie Keane on Saturday night.

Even if it took longer than 90 minutes to do what they've done all year: win.

Chad Barrett scored three minutes into injury time and Los Angeles downed the Columbus Crew, 1-0, on Saturday at Crew Stadium in Major League Soccer.

Beckham and Keane were both left off the roster, and Landon Donovan started on the bench. But Donovan entered in the second half, and his shot deep in extra time resulted in a rebound that Barrett fired home from close range.

Barrett's fifth goal of the season handed L.A. (17-3-10) its league-high 17th victory of the season as it won for the fifth time in its last six and for the eighth time in its last 10.

The Galaxy sit comfortably atop the Western Conference, and took another step toward the Supporters' Shield - given to the team with the best record in the regular season.

Columbus (11-11-8) lost for the fourth time during a five-game winless streak, and dropped out of first place in the Eastern Conference.

The Crew trail the Houston Dynamo by one point, are even with Sporting Kansas City, and just two ahead of the Philadelphia Union. The top six clubs in the East are separated by just four points.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
