08/16/2008 - Nice, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mahamane Traore scored in the 90th minute to give Nice a 2-1 win over Nancy on Saturday at Municipal du Ray in the second Ligue 1 contest for both teams.

Loic Remy opened the scoring for Nice 34 minutes into the match, but Benjamin Gavanon pulled Nancy level right before the break when he converted from the penalty spot after Marc-Antoine Fortune drew a foul inside the area.

Neither side was able to seize control of the match in the second half as both teams struggled to find scoring chances.

PSG picked up its first three points of the year as Guillaume Hoarau scored in the 53rd minute to give the club a 1-0 win over Bordeaux. Sylvain Armand set up the goal as he found Hoarau in the center of the penalty area, allowing the striker to hit the bottom left corner of the net.

Caen scored three times in the first 30 minutes en route to a 3-1 win over Valenciennes, Modibo Maiga tallied twice for Le Mans as they defeated Lille 3-1, while Claudiu Keseru's second-half goal helped Nantes earn a point against Monaco in 1-1 fashion.

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.
