Dallas aiming to extend unbeaten run with TFC coming to town

Soccer Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas set a record last weekend after earning a scoreless draw at Columbus, going 10 straight Major League Soccer road fixtures without a loss.

On Saturday, the Hoops (9-2-10), one of the league's hottest teams, will try to extend their overall unbeaten run to 13 games when they host Toronto FC at Pizza Hut Park.

"Not too many teams come in here and get a point against Columbus," Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman told mlssoccer.com after the draw. "To get a point here, to withstand the pressure of their set pieces, it continues to show our determination and our character. Hopefully we'll continue to develop confidence with this type of game."

Toronto (7-8-6), on the other hand, has been downright atrocious on the road, going 1-7-1 away from BMO Field. Because of that they are struggling to get into playoff contention with just under 10 games remaining in the regular season.

Toronto earned a 1-1 draw against Dallas on July 24th at home, bust since then have gone 1-3-1 overall and are 0-2-0 on the road.

The Reds will be without defender Emmanuel Gomez, midfielder Amadou Sanyang and forward Chad Barrett, while forward Maicon Santos is doubtful, all with injuries. Also, more importantly, Dwayne De Rosario, Julian de Guzman and Nana Attakora are away on international duty with the Canadian national team.

"It comes down to how many players we'll have," Toronto coach Preki told the league's website. "Some are going, but none are coming. We only have one win on the road. We need points, so we'll have to start winning some time."

Hyndman's team will be shorthanded on Saturday as well, with four key starters absent. Defender Ugo Ihemelu and midfielder Dax McCarty are still out with injuries, while team captain Daniel Hernandez and winger Atiba Harris are suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
