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.

Colts give the ‘D’ its due
The Indianapolis Colts know that winning the Super Bowl last season put a huge target on their backs, and they expect opponents to go all-out to knock them from the top of the mountain.
They’ll get their first test from the New Orleans Saints this Thursday night. The defending champs had nothing but good things to say about the New Orleans defense this past week, praising their opponents’ pass rush and run-stopping abilities.
"They play very aggressively," head coach Tony Dungy told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "They play a lot of man-to-man coverage, and they come after you. They have good pass rushers, and they're going to try to pressure us, I'm sure."
Both center Jeff Saturday and quarterback Peyton Manning gave New Orleans’ front four props, admitting keeping guys like Will Smithand Charles Grant contained would be a tall task for the offensive line.
New Orleans ranked second in total defense during the preseason at a sportsbook, allowing just under 233 yards per game. Last season, the defense finished 11th in the league after giving up 307.3 yards and 20.1 points per contest.
Not so sound on the ground
If Indianapolis' efficient offense has a weakness it has to be its running attack. The Colts one-two-punch of Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai is no longer, leaving the bulk of the carries to Addai, the second-year back out of LSU.
Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kenton Keith was named Addai’s backup this week after beating out DeDe Dorsey for the second-string position. Indy has only three backs on the roster right now, including fullback Luke Lawton, and coach Dungy is aware of the thinness of his ground game. Sports Betting lines on the game can be found at BettingExpress.com
“We’ll continue to look. Luke Lawton’s done a good job for us too. So probably getting a third true tailback is something that we’d like to do,” Dungy told the Indiana Tribune-Star.
Last season, Addai rushed for over 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign and scored seven touchdowns on the ground.
Brees says bring it on
Opening the season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champions is not the way most teams would like to kick off their year – unless you’re the New Orleans Saints or their quarterback Drew Brees. This internet Sportsbooks had the Saints as the favorites.
Brees told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he is excited to get the regular season started and the Colts are a great challenge for him and his teammates. The 28-year-old QB, entering his second season with the Saints, is expecting a wild environment in the RCA Dome this Thursday when the franchise celebrates its 2007-2007 championship.
Brees said he sees the opening game scheduling as an honor and a testament to how well New Orleans did last season. The Saints missed facing the Colts in the Super Bowl by one game, losing to the Chicago Bearsin the NFC Championship game.
"I mean, people think we can hang with these guys," Brees told reporters. "Even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter what they thought because as a team we're very confident. We know what we can do. We're not satisfied where we finished the season last year. And we've been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time."
SportsBooks ready for a shootout
Oddsmakers are preparing for some fireworks this Thursday when the NFL season kicks off. online Sportsbooks have Thursday’s total set at a whopping 52 points, accounting for two of the league’s most explosive offenses.
“This is like must-see TV,” Saints cornerback and former Colt Jason David told the Baton Rouge Advocate. “It’s two exciting offenses with great players. You’ve got a lot of star power on offense. At any given time a big play can happen. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t miss a snap.”
New Orleans, who ranked No.1 in total offense last season, can go blow-for-blow with the Colts’ attack. Head coach Sean Payton’s offensive schemes will get even better production out of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and receiver Marques Colston now that they’ve each had a season of playing together under their belts.
The Saints and Colts were the top two passing teams in the NFL last year, but while Indianapolis managed to put up almost 27 points per game, New Orleans struggled to capitalize on their efforts. The Saints ranked fifth in points per game.
“Yards are great,” running backDeuce McAllister told reporters, “but to be able to score more touchdowns would be important for us.”
