Soccer Betting Lines

05/27/2010 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich rising star Diego Contento has signed a new two-year contract extension to tie him to the club until the summer of 2013.

The 20-year-old defender became a regular member of coach Louis van Gaal's plans this season, helping Bayern to a league and cup double, before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League.

Contento, a product of the club's youth system, played in both legs of Bayern's European semifinal win over Lyon, but was an unused substitute against Inter.

He also sat out the 4-0 Pokal Cup final win over Werder Bremen, but featured in a 1-0 victory against Schalke in the semifinals.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
