Bayer Leverkusen Down Bayern Berlin

Soccer Betting Lines

Bayern Munich 2, Wolfsburg 0

 

Bayern was looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Monchengladbach last time out but had to wait until the 60th minute to grab the lead as Gomez saw his header blocked, but followed up and scored from six yards on the rebound.

 

Bayern has won four of its last five league matches and remains level on points with both Dortmund and Schalke at the top of the table.

 

Cologne, Germany - Schalke came from a goal down at halftime to claim a 4-1 win at Cologne on Saturday, with two goals coming from Ciprian Marica.

 

Lukas Podolski surprised the visitors with a goal inside three minutes for Cologne, and it held up until the hour mark when Marica leveled the contest for Schalke.

 

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar converted a penalty kick to make it 3-1 in the 78th, and Marco Hoger capped the scoring four minutes later to complete Schalke's fifth straight win.

 

Augsburg, Germany - Augsburg and Kaiserslautern both remained in the bottom three on Saturday after playing to a 2-2 draw at the SGL Arena.

 

Augsburg moves off the bottom of the table on goal difference with the result, while Kaiserslautern remains in 16th.

 

Hamburg 2, Hertha Berlin 1

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
