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.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
