Webb to referee Champions League final

Soccer Betting Lines

05/20/2010 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Howard Webb will referee Saturday's Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in Madrid, Spain.

Webb, who has been an international referee since 2005, will be assisted by his countrymen Michael Mullarkey and Darren Cann.

Taking charge of the European showpiece at the Bernabeu is the latest honor for the 38-year-old from Rotherham, who is also the English Football Association's choice to referee at the upcoming World Cup finals in South Africa.

Webb has been the man in the middle during six Champions League games this season. He refereed Inter during the second leg of their quarterfinal victory over CSKA Moscow.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
