"I'm pleased, very pleased; this is a great honor for me and I'm very proud," Faraoni said on the club's website.

 

Rotterdam, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Feyenoord midfielder Ricky van Haaren has suffered a torn ankle ligament that will keep him out for the next six weeks, it was confirmed by the club. Van Haaren has appeared in six Eredivisie matches this season for Feyenoord, but suffered the injury in training on Wednesday and has undergone tests to confirm the extent of the problem.

 

Feyenoord will return to action on January 22 at Venlo after entering the winter break in fifth place in the league table.

 

Tests have shown that the injury is not serious, but the club still expects the 24-year-old to miss league games with Real Betis and Malaga as well as the first leg of the team's Copa del Rey showdown with Real Madrid on Wednesday.

 

The news was worse for defender Andreu Fontas, who is due to miss the next six months because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

 

Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Everton announced Friday that it has signed midfielder Darron Gibson from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee. Gibson, 24, put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year deal to become Everton's second signing of the January transfer window. The Toffees have also secured the services of American international Landon Donovan on a two-month loan.

 

A product of the youth system at Manchester United, Gibson broke into the first team in the 2005-06 season and went on to score 10 goals in his 60 appearances for the Red Devils.

 

The 44-year-old's contract was set to expire at the end of the season, but with Milan tied atop the league with Juventus on 37 points through 17 games, the club was eager to extend his stay.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
