Crew bounced from Champions League

Soccer Betting Lines

03/18/2010 - Toluca, Mexico (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew were bounced out of the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday night after a 3-2 loss in Mexico vs. Toluca.

Toluca, which advances with a 5-4 aggregate score, faces fellow Mexican side Pachuca in the home-and-home total-goals semifinals.

The Crew, who were the last Major League Soccer team remaining in the tournament, jumped out to a surprising 1-0 lead in first-half stoppage time on a penalty-kick goal by Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

Toluca's Raul Mancilla pulled the goal back just after the break, however, and Antonio Naelson added the go-ahead tally just 10 minutes later to put the Crew in a 2-1 hole.

Schelotto evened the score with his second goal of the game 20 minutes from time, but a Naelson free kick two minutes later found the back of the net for the winner.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
