Diao close to signing new Stoke deal

Soccer Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Stoke-on-Trent, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stoke City midfielder Salif Diao is close to agreeing a new contract to remain at the Britannia Stadium.

The 32-year-old Senegal international is out of contract and had been interesting several unnamed European clubs, according to his agent.

However, representative Gary Mellor now claims the former Liverpool midfielder is ready to accept a new deal to stay with the Potters.

"I have had long discussions with (chief executive) Tony Scholes, (manager) Tony Pulis and Salif and we are 99 percent there," Mellor told The Sentinel.

"Salif loves playing for Tony Pulis and has a great respect for him.

"He has had offers from Italy and France, but Tony Pulis has made it clear that Salif is a big part of his plans.

"Salif is very close to committing himself to a further year."

Diao made 20 Premier League appearances for the Potters last season after bouncing back from injury.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
