02/19/2012 - Edinburgh, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic continues to pick up points at a blistering pace in the Scottish Premier League as it earned a resounding 5-0 win over Hibernian at Easter Road on Sunday.
The Bhoys have now won an astonishing 14th-straight league match to improve to 68 points on the season. Sunday's road win extended their lead atop the table to a comfortable 17 points after second-place Rangers were docked 10 points midweek for entering administration.
Lowly Hibernian remains tied with Dunfermline for last place in Scotland's top tier with 19 points as it has failed to pick up a win in its last four outings.
Celtic dictated play from the opening whistle and grabbed two first-half goals for their efforts. Anthony Stokes struck in the 14th minute before Gary Hooper doubled the lead six minutes later.
The visitors found themselves playing with a four-goal advantage just seven minutes after the restart as Charlie Mulgrew scored in the 47th minute and Hooper added his second goal of the game in the 52nd minute.
Hooper, with 15 goals this term, is two tallies behind former Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic for the scoring lead. Jelavic made the move to Everton in the January transfer window, leaving the door open for Hooper to claim the top spot.
Ki Sung-Yeung put the icing on the cake at Easter Road on Sunday, scoring his sixth goal of the season and Celtic's fifth of the match.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
