Soccer Betting Lines

11/19/2011 - Inverness, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Stokes scored twice after half, and Celtic extended its unbeaten streak to five games and picked up two points on first-place Rangers with a 2-0 win over Inverness on Saturday.

After a scoreless first half at the Caledonian Stadium, Inverness was not able to hold on after Greg Tansey was handed his marching orders in the 37th minute as Stokes scored in the 61st and 72nd for his ninth and 10th goals.

Celtic picked up two points on Rangers, which was held 0-0 by St. Johnstone at Ibrox, and now trails the leaders by 10 points with a match in hand. Celtic is at Parkhead on Wednesday against promoted Dunfermline.

Inverness lost for the third time in a five-game stretch and still sits at the bottom of the standings with just 12 points from 15 matches.

Rangers 0, St. Johnstone 0

Glasgow, Scotland - St. Johnstone held unbeaten Scottish Premier League leader Rangers to a 0-0 draw at Ibrox on Saturday, as the hosts dropped points in their own stadium for the third time despite a perfect record on the road.

Rangers has won all seven road matches this season, but was unable to score on St. Johnstone, which has the third-best defensive record in the league but its winless streak reached three games.

St. Johnstone is fourth with 20 points from 14 games, but still 19 points off the pace of Rangers, which saw its 12 points cushion over Celtic close to just 10 points after the Bhoys, who have a game in hand, beat Inverness 2-0.

Motherwell 2, Aberdeen 1

Aberdeen, Scotland - Omar Daley scored the winner early in the second half and Motherwell rebounded from a loss to Celtic with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen at the Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday in the Scottish Premier League.

Motherwell had won four of its previous five matches before falling to Celtic, but its ninth win was enough to remain level on points with the Bhoys and move just 10 points back of first-place Rangers.

Michael Higdon's sixth goal of the season opened the scoring after 6 minutes, and Aberdeen equalized through Scott Vernon in the 10th, but Aberdeen slumped to its third straight loss after Daley scored in the 53rd, and is only out of last place on goal differential.

Hibernian 1, Kilmarnock 1

Edinburgh, Scotland - Manuel Pascali scored in the opening half and Kilmarnock won a point at Easter Road with a 1-1 tie against Hibernian on Saturday in the Scottish Premier League.

Kilmarnock has three draws and a win in its last five matches, while Hibs has just one win in its last six. Killie is just four points off the bottom, while Hibernian is just two out of last.

St. Mirren 2, Dunfermline 1

Paisley, Scotland - Kenny Mclean and Nigel Hasselbaink scored in the opening half and St. Mirren downed Dunfermline, 2-1, on Saturday at St. Mirren Park in the Scottish Premier League.

St. Mirren won for the second time in its last three and sits just nine points out of second place. Dunfermline, which snapped a nine-match winless streak in its last game, has just one win in its last 11 and is one point out of last.

Dundee United 1, Hearts 0

Dundee, Scotland - Scott Robertson scored in the 24th minute and Dundee United defeated Hearts, 1-0, on Saturday at Tannadice Park in the Scottish Premier League.

Dundee won just its fourth match and is 22 points off the pace of Rangers, and Hearts lost for third time in its last four and fell 20 points off the top.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
