Chivas USA's 3-goal burst leads to victory over S.J.

Soccer Betting Lines

04/25/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chivas USA earned a much-needed Major League Soccer victory, 3-2, over the San Jose Earthquakes at The Home Depot Center on Saturday night.

The rare three-goal output by Chivas USA came from Sacha Kljestan, Justin Braun and Chukwudi Chijindu. It was the first time the L.A.-based club has scored three goals in an MLS fixture since October of 2008 vs. D.C. United.

Kljestan opened the scoring 25 minutes in when he blasted a 25-yard laser just inside the near post.

But San Jose equalized before the break when Chris Wondolowski was pulled down in the penalty area by Chivas USA defender Jonathan Bornstein. Wondolowski slotted the chance past goalkeeper Zach Thornton, just inside the left post.

Justin Braun gave the home side the advantage back nine minutes after the interval when he headed home a service from the right side. Bornstein started the chance with a service to the right side to Mariano Trujillo, who then fired a cross into the area. Braun got his head on the ball to knock it off the far post and in.

The Goats added an insurance goal in the 87th minute when Chijindu got behind the defense and slotted past goalkeeper Joe Cannon. It's a good thing, because San Jose pulled one back three minutes into stoppage time on a Steven Beitashour blast off a corner kick to close out the scoring.

Chivas USA (2-3-0) will aim to build on the solid home performance at Chicago next Saturday, while San Jose (2-2-0) hosts Colorado later the same night in its next league fixture.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
