Soccer Betting Lines

04/28/2009 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chelsea may face a fight to keep hold of Guus Hiddink after Bayern Munich revealed they are hoping to land a new coach in the mould of the current Blues interim manager.

Hiddink has repeatedly stressed that he will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season to return to his other role as the head coach of the Russia national side.

But Bayern have now emerged as a potential interested parties in the Dutch coach following their decision to part company with Jurgen Klinsmann on Monday.

The German giants have turned to Jupp Heynckes on a short-term basis until the summer - much like Chelsea when they appointed Hiddink after sacking Luiz Felipe Scolari.

However, president Franz Beckenbauer has revealed his interest in luring the experienced Dutchman to the Bundesliga.

"We are in need of an experienced seafarer like Jupp Heynckes," he told Bild. "I hope we can get a coach who is somewhere in the class of Guus Hiddink."

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
