Bayern sets lofty price for Ribery

Soccer Betting Lines

01/21/2009 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich have warned off potential suitors after placing a $193 million price tag on the head of Franck Ribery.

The France winger has been linked with a move to AC Milan in recent days as a potential replacement for Kaka.

The Brazil star was in line for a $168 million move from the Italian giants to Manchester City before the deal fell through earlier in the week.

But Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness claimed that if Kaka was worth that figure, then Ribery's value was greater.

"If Kaka is meant to be worth $168 million, then Franck Ribery is worth $193 million," claimed Hoeness.

"We would only perhaps start to consider selling him at a sum like this."

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
