Burris leads Stampeders over Winnipeg
Football Betting Lines
08/01/2010 - Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Burris threw for 340 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and the Calgary Stampeders held on to defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 23-20, at McMahon Stadium
Burris converted 28-of-38 pass attempts and added 55 rushing yards for Calgary (4-1), which won its second game in a row to remain in a tie with Saskatchewan for the top spot in the Western Conference. Nik Lewis hauled in 10 balls for 160 yards, while Ken-Yon Rambo made six catches for 86 yards and a score in his first game back since suffering a torn knee ligament against the B.C. Lions last July.
Steven Jyles, starting his second consecutive game in place of the injured Buck Pierce, threw for 227 yards and a score on 17-of-30 tosses, as Winnipeg (2-3) suffered its third loss in the past four games. Terrence Edwards grabbed six passes for 162 yards and a score in the defeat, while Fred Reid rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
It didn't take long for Rambo to make his impact felt, as he hauled in a 20- yard touchdown pass from Burris to give Calgary the lead after one quarter of play. The catch, which came after a holding penalty that made it second-and- goal from the 20-yard line, capped a five-play, 74-yard drive.
Calgary added to its lead early in the second quarter when Rob Maver connected on a 45-yard field goal.
A response from Winnipeg came midway through the second quarter, with Reid breaking off a 46-yard touchdown run. A 66-yard punt by Winnipeg's Alexis Serna then resulted in a single to make it a 10-8 game.
The Stamps answered on the ensuing drive, as Burris connected with Deon Murphy from four yards out for a touchdown with 32 seconds left in the half. The drive took less then two minutes and spanned 75 yards on eight plays.
After Winnipeg forced and recovered a Burris fumble to stall a promising Calgary drive midway through the third quarter, the Bombers moved into scoring position courtesy of a 45-yard pass interference call. The Bombers would settle for a 33-yard field goal by Serna, and they now trailed just 17-11 heading into the fourth quarter.
Calgary wasted little time extending its lead early in the final frame, as Maver snuck in a 37-yard field goal just minutes into the period.
The Bombers though, responded less then two minutes later when Jyles hit a wide open Terrence Edwards on a 61-yard touchdown pass.
With 3:22 remaining, Maver knocked through a 45-yard field goal to give Calgary a little cushion at 23-18.
Following a quick two-and-out, Winnipeg's defense came up with a big stand and forced Calgary into a punt.
The Bombers, who had the ball at their own 24-yard line with 1:40 remaining, moved right down to the Calgary 30-yard line courtesy of a 43-yard pass from Jyles to Edwards.
Winnipeg, however, was unable to convert on any of the next three downs, twice going for it all with passes to the end zone. Brock Ralph had a shot at the first toss to the end zone, but the pass went off his shoulder, and Jyles overthrew Edwards on the third down.
Calgary then took a safety while running out the final seven seconds of the game.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
