Bruce ready to turn to Zaki

Soccer Betting Lines

04/29/2009 - Wigan, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wigan boss Steve Bruce is ready to turn to out-of-favor striker Amr Zaki as he looks to revitalize his struggling attack.

The Latics have slipped out of the running for a top-seven finish and a place in Europe next season after three straight defeats in which they have scored just one goal.

Zaki has not started a game for two months after earning the wrath of Bruce when reporting back late from international duty for a third time this season.

But although the on-loan Egypt striker's long-term future at the JJB Stadium is in serious doubt, Bruce is ready to recall Zaki for Saturday's derby visit of Bolton.

"For what he has done, if I had six strikers I would probably go down a different avenue," Bruce told the Wigan Post.

"But the one thing I won't do is leave the team short.

"The team is the most important thing for me - and obviously the club.

"So if I have to use him I will use him. After all we are paying him - when he is here!"

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
