Football Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Burris threw three touchdowns and Calgary rolled to a sixth straight win by forcing six Eskimos turnovers en route to a a 52-5 rout in the annual Labour Day Classic.

Burris finished with 226 yards and an interception on 15-of-23 passes, tossing two of his TDs to Romby Bryant, who logged five receptions for 80 yards.

Joffrey Reynolds led the running game with 85 yards and a score on 18 carries as the Stampeders kept their two-game lead atop the Western Conference.

Ricky Ray was ineffective under center for Edmonton, completing a mere 9-of-22 passes through the air for 157 yards and two interceptions, one of which Brandon Smith returned for a touchdown. Ray also lost a fumble, while Jared Zabransky was picked off twice in relief for the Eskimos, who lost to Calgary 56-15 on August 15 before knocking off Saskatchewan last week.

Edmonton's Noel Prefontaine recorded a pair of singles around a 29-yard field goal from counterpart Rob Maver in the opening quarter.

Calgary added a conceded safety later in the frame, and Reynolds' nine-yard jaunt around the left end accounted for the first touchdown and a 12-2 Stampeders lead in the first minute of the second stanza.

Shortly thereafter, Burris hit Bryant on a fade down the right sideline for a 30-yard score.

Prefontaine booted a 31-yarder to stop some of the hosts' momentum, but Smith returned his interception -- the third in as many plays -- 58 yards for a score late in the quarter.

Just before the half, Burris found Ken-Yon Rambo in the end zone from 10 yards out for a comfortable 33-5 score at the break.

A Burris-to-Bryant hookup of 19 yards near the nine-minute mark was the only TD of the third quarter.

The final score came as a result of another conceded safety by Edmonton in the third, a Maver single in the final stanza, an intentional grounding call in the end zone on Ray with just over five minutes left, and Drew Tate's pass into the flat to Deon Murphy for a 12-yard TD three minutes later.

Game Notes

Edmonton had a total of five yards rushing on nine carries, compared to 188 on 32 for Calgary...Calgary won the yardage battle by a whopping 502-152 margin...Kelly Campbell posted 80 yards on four catches for the Eskimos...Burris passed Dieter Brock (34,830 yards) into 10th place on the CFL's all-time passing list...These teams play again on September 10 in Edmonton.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
