Inter ties history

Soccer Betting Lines

12/23/2006 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With a 2-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday, Serie A's first-place Internazionale equaled the all-time league record for consecutive wins, with its 11th, in front of the home fans at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Atalanta scored first, quieting the fans for the mean time, as Inter looked a little lethargic following a 2-0 midweek fixture against Lazio, but Brazilian Adriano evened it up in the second stanza, before an own-goal decided it in the 75th.

The opener came on a Luca Ariatti chip to Doni that landed on the edge of the penalty area before the midfielder put the visitors up 1-0 with a one-time volley that goalkeeper Julio Cesar couldn't stop in the 17th minute.

Atalanta continued to push forward, almost doubling its lead in the 24th minute when Riccardo Zampagna controlled a through-ball, unleashing a shot that brought Cesar into action with a point-blank save.

Going into the half down one seemed to fire up the hosts, and five minutes after the recess Adriano had his chance to even it up but saw his shot trickle wide, while just after the hour mark a Hernan Crespo volley was taken care of by goalkeeper Alex Calderoni.

Inter eventually got the equalizer in the 65th minute of play when Adriano redeemed himself with a diving header off a Luis Figo cross from the left flank.

It just seemed to be Inter's half and that was proven with six minutes left, as Figo curled a free-kick into the box, meeting the head of Atalanta's Simone Loria whose attempted clear ended up in his own net for the 2-1 Inter win.

In other Serie A play on Saturday, Ascoli put on an impressive 3-0 victory over Chievo Verona with a pair of goals from Sasa Bjelanovic, while Livorno and Torino stay locked on the Serie A table with a 1-1 draw, as Siena and Palermo battled to the same result at the Artemio Franchi.

Catania Calcio moved back into fourth place in Serie A with its 4-2 victory over Sampdoria, while Lazio defeated Parma 3-1 in a game that showcased all four scores in the first half. AC Milan continue its climb up the table following its beginning of the season point deficit with a 3-0 road triumph against Udinese, as Messina fell hard, suffering a 4-0 defeat to Fiorentina.

A pair of first-half goals from Nicola Amoruso helped lead Reggina 4-1 over Empoli at the Stadio Oreste Granillo, while a goal in either stanza carried Roma to a 2-0 victory against visiting Cagliari.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
