Dynamo have midfield hole to fill as they gear up for K.C.

Soccer Betting Lines

04/30/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo have their work cut out for them on Saturday when they host the Kansas City Wizards in a Major League Soccer fixture at Robertson Stadium.

The Dynamo (2-1-1) have had to cope with the defections of both of their starting central midfielders from a season ago - Stuart Holden and Ricardo Clark - who are plying their trade in Europe now. Through the first five games Geoff Cameron filled the attacking role admirable, but now he is gone for the season after injuring his right knee this past Saturday against Chicago.

"We are very disappointed to lose an All-Star caliber player, and we feel especially bad for Geoff and the timing of this injury," Dynamo CEO Chris Canetti said. "We are confident he will come back healthy and be an impact player for us again next season."

The Dynamo had been busy finding replacements for Clark, who filled the defensive role, with Richard Mulrooney and Lovel Palmer filling the gap. But now the team needs to find a replacement on the offensive end.

"We've begun our search to find a midfielder who can step in and play a key role," Canetti said.

Left winger Brad Davis could get the first chance at becoming the team's new midfield maestro.

"Most likely I'll play in the middle this weekend," Davis told MLSsoccer.com. "I've played in there before, and there is a bit of an adjustment. We've had trouble in possession, and so hopefully that's something I can bring to the table for the team. There will probably be an adjustment, but it hopefully won't be too bad."

Things won't be easy on against a Kansas City team that has given up just one goal this season.

The Wizards (2-1-1) are coming off a scoreless draw against the Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend, and are hoping for a road result against another Western Conference power this weekend.

"Kansas City is playing well and they are a very hungry and very confident team," Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear told mlssoccer.com. "After watching them play against Seattle and L.A. the last couple of weeks, they play a high-tempo game and don't give you much time on the ball, so it makes it difficult for us and our decisions have to be fast and confident."

In addition to missing Cameron, the Dynamo will be without forward Brian Ching, while Mulrooney and forward Cam Weaver are doubtful.

The Wizards will be without midfielder Zoltan Hercegfalvi, while defender Jimmy Conrad is questionable, and forward Teal Bunbury and midfielders Ryan Smith and Graham Zusi are probable.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
