08/19/2007 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rafael van der Vaart converted a penalty kick in the second half to help Hamburg to a 1-0 defeat of Bayer Leverkusen while Tommy Bechmann scored a pair of goals to lead Bochum to a 2-1 victory over Energie.
Van der Vaart's goal in the 64th minute broke a scoreless deadlock to allow Hamburg to join Bayern Munich as the only two teams to have won their first two Bundesliga contests.
Hamburg is looking to rebound from a disappointing campaign last season and now sits in second place in the standings after a 1-0 win against Hannover in the opening week and Sunday's win against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bechmann, meanwhile, has given Bochum four points from its first two games as he has tallied a league-leading three goals in his first two contests this season.
He scored once in Bochum's 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen last week, and has now taken over the lead in goals with two more Sunday. Bechmann got Bochum off to a good start with a goal in the 14th minute, and he put the club ahead by two goals before halftime with a strike in the 42nd minute. Ervin Skela pulled Energie to within a goal early in the second half but Bochum held off the home side to keep Energie from taking any points away from the contest.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
