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.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
