Goats embarrass Revs at Gillette Stadium

Soccer Betting Lines

05/05/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jesus Padilla scored two goals and Justin Braun added a goal and two assists to lead Chivas USA to a dominating 4-0 win over the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Revs conclude a three-game home stand with 0-2-1 record, and are now 2-4-1 overall.

Chivas USA, on the other hand, improves to 3-3-1 while extending its current unbeaten run to three games.

The Goats got things started in the 26th minute when Padilla added his first goal of the game. A Zach Thornton goal kick was flicked into the area by Braun, and Padilla slid past defender Kevin Alston, who slipped to the ground trying to clear, and slotted home for his second goal of the season.

Just two minutes later New England midfielder Marko Perovic earned a red card for an elbow to the side of the head of Chivas USA's Ben Zemanski, who he was battling in the midfield. Zemanski also received a yellow card on the play.

Chivas USA put the pedal down, playing up a man, with Braun taking advantage of the shaky New England defense five minutes later to make it 2-0.

Braun took a pass from Mariano Trujillo at the top of the Revs' area and squeezed between central defenders Pat Phelan and Corey Gibbs before slotting past goalkeeper Preston Burpo.

The Goats made it 3-0 shortly after the break on a play started by Braun at the top of the Revs' area again. Braun held up before playing a square ball to midfielder Sacha Kljestan, who then laid off to Padilla for an easy tap-in goal.

Chivas USA rookie Blair Gavin added his first career MLS goal in the last 10 minutes to close out the scoring.

Both teams are back in action on Saturday, with Chivas USA hosting the Houston Dynamo, and New England traveling to take on the Columbus Crew.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
