Birmingham snaps up Zigic

Soccer Betting Lines

05/26/2010 - Birmingham, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Birmingham have completed the signing of Serbia striker Nikola Zigic from Spanish side Valencia.

Zigic has joined the Blues on a four-year contract after the two clubs agreed to an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of $8.5 million.

The striker, who is part of Serbia's World Cup squad, has been linked with several moves to the Premier League in the recent past.

Valencia signed Zigic from Racing in 2007 but he struggled to hold down a starting place at the Mestalla.

He was loaned back to Racing last season where he scored an impressive 13 goals in 19 matches.

The 29-year-old has also scored 16 goals in 42 international appearances.

Speaking earlier in the month, agent Milan Calasan said: "He has always said would be interested in a move to England and if he was to go there it would have to be the right club that understands his characteristics."

Zigic is the third new signing made by Blues boss Alex McLeish since the Premier League season ended.

He has paid a reported $8 million for Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster and signed Spanish midfielder Enric Valles on a free transfer.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
