Hamilton edges BC
Football Betting Lines
07/11/2009 - Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - DeAndra' Cobb rushed for 100 yards on 14 carries and caught a 48-yard touchdown pass, and Geoff Tisdale ran back an interception for a score to help carry Hamilton to a hard-fought 31-28 victory over the Lions at BC Place Stadium.
Quinton Porter had a TD on the ground and through the air to go with 222 passing yards on 19-of-24 efficiency for the Tiger-Cats (1-1), who were coming off a 30-17 loss to the Argonauts in the season opener and hadn't won at British Columbia since 2004.
Cobb and Chris Davis each caught five balls for 75 and 47 yards, respectively.
Buck Pierce logged 333 passing yards on 26-of-40 throws and threw three touchdowns, but his two interceptions proved costly for BC (0-2), which dropped a 28-24 decision to the Roughriders last week.
Martell Mallett recorded 82 rushing yards on 16 carries, and Geroy Simon paced the receiving corps with seven receptions for 86 yards and a score in defeat.
Tisdale changed game's momentum just after halftime, stepping in front of an errant Pierce pass and taking it 43 yards the other way for a 21-14 lead roughly five minutes into the third. The margin moved to 10 when Nick Setta booted a 27-yard field goal later in the quarter.
The Lions made it a one-possession game with Jarious Jackson's one-yard sneak over the goal line early in the fourth, but Cobb broke several tackles en route to a 48-yard touchdown reception with just under nine minutes to play.
Emmanuel Arceneux came down with a 42-yard bomb from Pierce with two minutes remaining to give the hosts one last chance.
The Lions got the ball back at their own 36-yard line with 1:16 left and Pierce moved the ball into enemy territory with a long scramble.
But on the very next play, former Lion Otis Floyd stepped back into coverage and picked off a Pierce pass, sealing Hamilton's impressive road win.
Setta knocked in a 51-yard field goal to open the game's scoring, and Pierce answered by hitting Paris Jackson on a 29-yard touchdown pass with 5 1/2 minutes to play in the first quarter for a 6-3 BC lead.
A Setta single was followed by a seven-play, 75-yard drive from the Lions, capped when Pierce hooked up with Simon on a five-yard out at the end of the opening quarter.
Hamilton followed a Paul McCallum single with a 75-yard drive of its own in the second stanza, with Porter rushing for a 13-yard touchdown midway through.
Setta's 42-yard field goal tied the score with just over two minutes to go in the half.
Game Notes
McCallum injured his right knee early in the second half and did not return...Last season, the Lions swept both contests in the series, first by claiming a 35-12 decision in early September and then an even more lopsided 40-10 final later the same month...Mallett also had 82 yards on six catches.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
