03/18/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Clint Dempsey scored in the 82nd minute and Zoltan Gera had two goals, leading Fulham to a 4-1 win over 10-man Juventus on Thursday and into the quarterfinals of the Europa League on aggregate, 5-4.
Bobby Zamora also scored for Fulham, which overcame a second-minute goal from David Trezeguet to erase a 4-1 overall deficit in the Round of 16 series. Juve won the first leg 3-1 in Italy.
Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Hamburg, Liverpool, Standard Liege, Valencia, and Wolfsburg also advanced to the quarterfinals.
Gera scored the first of his two goals 12 minutes after Juventus captain Fabio Cannavaro was sent off midway through the first half and added his second four minutes after the break to level the aggregate at 4.
Dempsey, who returned from a knee injury in the first leg last week, missed an open header minutes after coming on as a substitute, but delivered a brilliant strike to cap the English club's memorable win at Craven Cottage.
The American chipped the ball from the edge of the penalty area just over Juve goalie Antonio Chimenti and into the upper-left corner.
Jonathan Zebina capped Juve's exit from European play when he was sent off in the closing seconds of normal time, allowing Fulham to easily finish off three added minutes.
Liverpool joined Fulham in the last eight with a 3-0 win over Lille at Anfield to overturn a first-leg deficit. Lille won 1-0 in France last week, but Steven Gerrard opened the scoring and Fernando Torres added two as Liverpool advanced on aggregate, 3-1.
David Villa scored a hat trick at Weserstadion as Valencia advanced with a 4-4 draw against Werder Bremen. Bremen earned a 1-1 draw in Spain in the first leg but the Spanish side built a 4-2 lead in the return leg in Germany and held on to advance on away goals with the aggregate 5-5.
Benfica defeated Marseille on a 90th-minute goal from Alan Kardec in a 2-1 win at Stade Velodrome in France that sent the Portugal side through on aggregate, 3-2.
Belgian side Standard Liege got a goal from Deiudonne Mbokani in a 1-0 victory over Greece's Panathinaikos at Maurice Dufrasne Stadium to secure advancement on aggregate, 4-1.
German side Hamburg nearly blew a three-goal aggregate lead but, after Belgium side Anderlecht scored four goals in a 22-minute span at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, Mladen Petric sealed the visitors' 6-5 overall win despite a 4-3 loss in the second leg.
Sergio Aguero scored twice to help Atletico Madrid draw Sporting Lisbon 2-2 at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Portugal and the Spanish side advanced on away goals. Atletico and Sporting tied the first leg 0-0.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
