02/17/2012 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marco Di Vaio's first-half brace heaped more pressure on Inter Milan as Bologna handed the Nerazzurri a 3-0 defeat at the San Siro on Friday.
Inter boss Claudio Ranieri will be feeling the heat after his team sustained its third successive loss and the fourth in its last five games, leaving the club 11 points off the pace of Serie A leaders AC Milan with one more game played.
Di Vaio got the scoring started in the 37th minute when he took a short pass from Diego Perez inside the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Julio Cesar with a shot into the lower right corner of the net.
The hosts then handed Di Vaio a second goal one minute later when a defender tried to bring the ball down off his chest but instead played it into the path of Di Vaio, who coasted in on goal and easily beat the 'keeper to double the lead.
Inter looked flat throughout the match and was punished with a third goal five minutes from time when Jean-Francois Gillet played Robert Acquafresca into the area and he scored with a left-footed shot.
Bologna is on a run of six games without a loss and moves seven points clear of the drop zone with the win.
Napoli 3, Fiorentina 0
Florence, Italy - Edinson Cavani scored a goal in each half as Napoli coasted to a 3-0 win over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Friday.
The win lifts Napoli into fifth place and gives the club eight points from its last four games, while Fiorentina remains in the bottom half of the league after losing for the first time in four games.
Cavani needed only three minutes to put Napoli in front when he got on the other end of a through ball from Marek Hamsik to fire home his 14th goal of the campaign.
The Uruguayan teamed up with Hamsik again to net his second goal of the match 10 minutes after the break while Ezequiel Lavezzi capped the scoring in stoppage time.

Many fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.)
"To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good."
Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins
There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida.
Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins
Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October.
USC Trojans - 10.5 wins
A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention.
Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy
Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2
He won it last year, so it's no surprise he's the favorite to do it again, making him just the second player to go back-to-back. Ohio State's Archie Griffin turned the trick in 1974 and 1975, and Tebow's coach, Urban Meyer, is pretty sure his star quarterback can match the Buckeyes legend.
"There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach."
Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1
The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines.
Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1
If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
