Eintracht rallies to beat Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sebastian Jung and Alexander Meier scored
goals in the final 25 minutes to help Eintracht complete a 3-2 comeback
victory against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.
The visitors went ahead in the eighth minute with a goal from Benjamin Kohler,
but after Mats Hummels equalized nine minutes later, Lucas Barrios handed
Dortmund a 2-1 lead with a little over 30 minutes to play.
However, Jung leveled the contest in the 65th minute and Meier scored the
winner nine minutes later, moving Eintracht three places up the Bundesliga
table and into seventh.
Patrick Ochs set up the opening goal with a right-wing cross to the middle of
the penalty area where he found Kohler, who had plenty of space to head the
ball inside the left post.
Hummels equalized nine minutes later from a corner kick as Eintracht failed to
properly clear the ball and Mohamed Zidan played it to the feet of Hummels,
who scored from inside the six-yard box.
Halil Altintop poked a shot past Dortmund goalkeeper Marc Ziegler, but Hummels
retreated in time to clear the ball off the goal line.
Altintop had another opportunity with a free header from the middle of the
area, but he missed the target, while Barrios notched his 11th goal of the
campaign to put Dortmund in front in the 57th minute after a nice pass from
Zidan.
Jung was able to pull the visitors level minutes later when his free kick took
a deflection off of Dortmund's Nuri Sahin and found its way past Ziegler, and
they went in front in the 74th minute when Altintop played Meier in on goal
and he beat the keeper with a shot inside the far post.
Dortmund had one final chance to snatch a point in stoppage time, but Felipe
Santana headed over the goal from inside the six-yard box.
Sunday's other contest saw Mainz climb into eighth place as Bo Svensson's goal
right before halftime was enough to give his team a 1-0 win over
Monchengladbach.

Big Ten Conference odds
Teams that should be in: Michigan State, Indiana
Work left to do: Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Iowa
Behind the big two, the pecking order might be in a bit of flux. Has Michigan State passed Indiana after handling the Hoosiers in East Lansing? Where is Illinois in that mix? What looked like a four-big league last week could be morphing into five -- and even six is not unthinkable at this point if everything breaks right.
Should be in:
Michigan State [21-8 (8-6), RPI: 20, SOS: 15] The Spartans made it four-for-four on the homestand, a gigantic accomplishment that leaves them in extremely good shape. MSU is only 1-6 on the road and is at Michigan and at Wisconsin to close things out, meaning the date with the Wolverines on Tuesday looms very, very large. Beating Texas early will hold up well, as will the rout of Bradley and the win over BYU, but will 8-8 be enough? It very well could be, as the computer numbers are good, but why chance it?
Indiana [18-9 (8-6), RPI: 24, SOS: 32] Hmm ... good thing the last two are at Northwestern and home to Penn State, because IU might want to get both to feel completely safe after dropping its third in the last four, fading after halftime at Michigan State. Who knew the best nonconference win would be over Southern Illinois, which is a gift that keeps on giving for the Hoosiers. The win over Wisconsin also looks good on the mantel.
Work left to do:
Illinois [21-9 (9-6), RPI: 31, SOS: 25] A good performance at Penn State leaves the Illini in pretty good shape. Can they go to Iowa and take care of business to really look on their way? That's a huge game, as there is a possible cluster of teams that will end at 9-7. Illinois beat Bradley, but has lost to Xavier. A 9-7 mark and a semifinals trip in Chicago could be enough with the computer profile hanging in there, but it would be better not to mess around, clinching at least a tie for third.
Purdue [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 47, SOS: 28] Couldn't get it done at Iowa, but did win at Northwestern to put 9-7 squarely in sight. Where does that leave the Boilermakers, though? Even if they beat Minnesota and Northwestern at home, that won't help the computer numbers. Nonconference wins over Virginia, DePaul and Oklahoma are solid, but not spectacular. The Boilers very well might need an upset in the B10 quarters to have a legit claim.
Michigan [19-10 (7-7), RPI: 55, SOS: 53] Well, Michigan did what it needed to do, winning at Minnesota to take control of its fate. The Wolverines have Michigan State and an already-wrapped-up-the-league Ohio State at home to close, so the chances are there. Win both and we can talk. There is no marquee win yet in the profile, and the Wolverines were splattered in several games against name opponents. A mediocre computer profile fueled by a lack of road wins isn't helping, either.
Iowa [16-12 (8-6), RPI: 80, SOS: 64] For the sake of being complete, we'll add Iowa, this season's Stanford. It's plausible that the Hawkeyes could get to 10-6 (at Penn State, vs. Illinois left), but where does that leave them after a gruesome nonconference performance where the best win was over ... Toledo? Iowa State? Cornell?? If they get to 10-6, we can start to look at what they need to do in the B10 tourney, although my gut sense is that they would need to make the final and have knocked off Ohio State or Wisconsin on the way to have any real claim.
