11/30/2008 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jan Simak and Mario Gomez scored in the last 12 minutes, Jans Lehmann saved a penalty kick and Stuttgart topped Schalke 2-0 at Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday in coach Markus Babbel's Bundesliga debut.
Armin Veh, who led Stuttgart to the Bundesliga title two seasons ago, was fired last week and the struggling side responded under Babbel. Babbel led Stuttgart in a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria in the UEFA Cup midweek.
Lehmann made a huge save in the first half on Jefferson Farfan's penalty kick, diving toward the left post to make the stop.
Simak eventually rewarded his goalkeeper for his save, running onto a long pass from Khalid Boulahrouz before lifting a shot over Schalke goalie Manuel Neuer and under the bar in the 79th minute.
Gomez doubled the lead four minutes later, accepting a through pass from Pavel Pardo before slotting past Neuer.
Also Sunday, Ivica Olic scored in the 70th minute to help Hamburg draw Bochum 1-1 and Borussia Dortmund tied Wolfsburg 0-0.
Stanislav Sestak put Bochum in front in the 39th minute, but Hamburg earned the key point to stay within seven points of first-place Hoffenheim. Bochum stayed in the drop zone, just one point out of last.
Borussia was blanked for the first time this season, while Wolfsburg was shut out for just the second time. Borussia sits sixth, nine points out of first and Wolfsburg is 11 points back in eighth.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
