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.

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
