02/09/2012 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The U.S. men's national team will host five- time World Cup champion Brazil in a friendly on May 30 in Landover, Md. during final preparations for 2014 World Cup qualifying.

The U.S. opened the year with wins over Venezuela and Panama, and will play at four-time World Cup champion Italy on Feb. 29 in its next fixture. Brazil will visit FedExField in May for an 8 p.m. (ET) kickoff.

"When you talk about Brazil, you are speaking of one of the most gifted football playing nations in the world," said U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "It is our goal to be able to match up against teams like Brazil on a consistent basis, so this is an amazing opportunity."

Brazil, which is 15-1-0 all-time against the U.S., has played the U.S. in each of the last four years. The match will be followed by another friendly against Canada on June 3, and then World Cup qualifying starts June 8 against Antigua and Barbuda.

The U.S., 4-4-1 under Klinsmann, will also play Guatemala and Jamaica in Group A of CONCACAF qualifying.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
