Soccer Betting Lines

03/17/2010 - Leverkusen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayer Leverkusen have secured the future of Germany international Stefan Kiessling until the summer of 2015 with a new contract.

Kiessling has been rewarded with a new long-term deal on the back of a season where he currently leads the Bundesliga scoring charts with 16 goals.

"My family and I are very happy in Leverkusen and the club has excellent long- term potential," explained the striker. "Therefore, there is no reason for me to change anything."

Kiessling looks set to earn a place in Germany's World Cup squad for South Africa this summer following his stunning club form.

"We are extremely happy that, with Stefan Kiessling, we will continue to have one of the best German strikers among our ranks," added Leverkusen's director of sport Wolfgang Holzhauser.

"We had been in agreement for a while and now we have concluded the formalities."

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.
