07/25/2010 - Boyds, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two goals apiece from Marta and Tiffeny Milbrett allowed FC Gold Pride to claim a comfortable 4-1 win over the Washington Freedom at Maryland Soccerplex.
Milbrett opened the scoring 18 minutes into the match, and after Washington equalized through Abby Wambach shortly before halftime, the Bay Area side dominated the second half with two goals from Marta and another from Milbrett.
Gold Pride has now won its last five games and sits 13 points clear at the top of the Women's Professional Soccer standings.
Milbrett was set up with a good ball from Christine Sinclair in the 18th minute, but after her initial shot was saved by Freedom goalkeeper Erin McLeod, Milbrett easily headed home the rebound.
Washington leveled the match three minutes before halftime as Gold Pride goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart was only able to get a hand on Beverly Goebel's cross, leaving Wambach with a simple tap in at the back post.
However, the second half belonged to Gold Pride as a good individual effort from Marta put the visitors in the lead. She first dribbled past a number of defenders before getting to the end line and driving the ball between the legs of McLeod from a tight angle.
Sinclair had a hand in Marta's second goal as she played the Brazilian through on goal and watched her slot her shot past McLeod for her league-leading 13th goal of the season.
Milbrett then capped the scoring in the 89th minute with a neat chip into the upper-right corner of the net.
Amy Rodriguez had a pair of goals in a 4-1 win for the Philadelphia Independence over Sky Blue FC, keeping the Independence in second place, while the Boston Breakers took over third with a 3-1 win against the Chicago Red Stars behind two goals from Kelly Smith.

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.
