12/13/2008 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen McManus scored in the 79th minute as Celtic tied Hearts 1-1 and Kyle Lafferty scored in the 76th as Rangers tied Dundee United 2-2 on Saturday in games pitting the top four teams the Scottish Premier League.
Three-time defending champion Celtic retained its four-point lead over Rangers, but third-place Dundee and fourth-place Hearts both pushed the Scottish powers.
Hearts is 14 points behind Celtic in fourth - with one less match played - but stunned the leaders at Celtic Park when Andrew Driver opened the scoring in the 23rd minute.
Driver drove a left-footed shot from six yards past Celtic goalie Artur Boruc, a lead that stood for more than 50 minutes. McManus finally delivered the tying goal in the 79th, heading past Janos Balogh from six yards.
Rangers got off to a good start at Tannadice Park when striker Kris Boyd bagged his 15th goal of the season - which easily leads the SPL - in the 11th minute.
Boyd scored off a left-footed shot from 18 yards, picking out the bottom left corner to increase his league-leading total.
Dundee fired back early in the second half, getting goals from Lee Wilkie and Warren Freeney five minutes apart. Wilkie leveled the game in the 50th, scoring from six yards out into the upper left and Feeney headed into the bottom right in the 54th from about the same distance.
Lafferty helped Rangers escape with a draw - and remain 10 points head of its nearest challenger for second - with a right-footed shot from 12 yards to the bottom right corner.
Also Saturday, Derek Riordan and Robert Jones scored to lead Hibernian to a 2-0 win over last-place Hamilton, Lee Miller scored twice for his eighth and ninth goals of the season to lead Aberdeen to a 2-1 win over Falkirk, and Andy Dorman and Garry Brady scored in St. Mirren's 2-0 win over Iverness.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
