Soccer Betting Lines

12/10/2008 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chivas USA defender Bobby Burling underwent successful ankle surgery last week at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys, and is expected to be out 6-8 weeks while recovering.

The procedure, arthroscopic surgery on Burling's left ankle to remove bone spurs and loose bodies, was performed by Dr. Rick Ferkel, and the defender is expected to return to action around the time Chivas USA reconvenes for preseason in February.

Burling, 24, enjoyed a standout career at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles as both a forward and a defender before joining Chivas USA prior to the 2007 season.

The Monument, Colorado native made his debut for the Red-and-White on May 11, 2008, against the New England Revolution, and the central defender played a total of 20 matches (18 starts), logging 1,659 minutes during the 2008 MLS season.

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
