03/06/2010 -
Nice, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Substitute Issiar Dia scored in stoppage time
to hand Nancy a 3-2 win over Nice at the Municipal du Ray on Saturday.
Djamel Bakar scored five minutes into the game for Nancy, but the hosts
answered two minutes later through Renato Civelli. Jonathan Brison restored
Nancy's lead 20 minutes later, and again Nice had an answer as Chaouki Ben
Saada leveled the match for a second time before the break.
However, Dia was on hand two minutes into stoppage time to follow up Bakaye
Traore's shot and tap in the rebound to give his team all three points.
Nancy moves up to 12th place with the win, while Nice is just one place above
the drop zone and six points clear of Le Mans, which has played two less
games.
Julien Feret set up the opener five minutes into the game when he stole the
ball and played Bakar in on goal. Bakar then drove a strong shot past
goalkeeper David Ospina, putting his side ahead, 1-0.
It didn't take long for Nice to equalize as Emerse Fae's flicked header from a
corner kick allowed Civelli to score with a diving header from close range.
However, the visitors went back ahead in the 27th minute when goalkeeper
Gennaro Bracigliano played a long goal-kick to Brison, who brought the ball
down and fired a well-placed shot into the upper right corner of the net.
Ben Saada pulled Nice level 10 minutes later when he finished off a close-
range pass from Loic Remy, and the second half nearly saw the hosts go ahead
straight from a corner kick as Didier Digard's cross needed to be cleared off
the goal line by Reynald Lemaitre.
The game appeared to be headed for a draw, but after a low shot from Traore
was stopped by Ospina, Dia pounced on the rebound to tap in the winning goal.
Lyon was held to a 0-0 draw by second-from-the-bottom Boulogne, Auxerre downed
Valenciennes, 1-0, Lille finished 1-1 with St Etienne, Ryad Boudebouz scored
six minutes from time to give Sochaux a 1-0 win over Toulouse, Lens and PSG

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."

NFL Football Betting Online
In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
