Calvillo tosses three TDs in Montreal's win at Toronto
Football Betting Lines
08/15/2008 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Calvillo threw for a season-high 379
yards with three touchdowns on 27-of-41 passing to lead the Montreal Alouettes
to a convincing 32-14 road victory over the Toronto Argonauts.
Avon Cobourne was the recipient of five catches for 103 yards and a touchdown
while also gaining 107 rushing yards on 16 carries for the Alouettes (5-3),
who moved two games ahead of the second-place Argonauts (3-5) and remained a
perfect 5-0 in the East Division. Cobourne rushed for over 100 yards for the
fourth straight game.
Ben Cahoon nabbed six receptions for 78 yards and a score while Jamel
Richardson also had six catches but for 84 yards. Cahoon has now caught at
least one pass in 99 straight games.
Damon Duval had a busy evening with 13 points hitting 3-of-5 field goals but
had a streak of 17 straight cut short with his first miss in the second
quarter.
Michael Bishop hooked up with Andre Talbot for Toronto's only touchdown.
Bishop replaced an ineffective Kerry Joseph to start the third quarter and
finished 9-of-21 for 126 passing yards with the TD and a costly interception.
Talbot finished with six receptions for 54 yards.
Bishop set a bad tone for the second half when Davis Sanchez picked off his
fourth pass from scrimmage. A 26-yard return and a five-yard Argonaut
unnecessary roughness penalty placed the Alouettes on the doorstep and
Calvillo found Brian Bratton from four yards out to extend the lead to 18-7.
Montreal began to wear down the stingy Argonaut defense by closing out the
quarter with a single and a 36-yard field goal from Duval for a 22-7
advantage.
The Alouettes opened the final quarter of play with a field goal and a single
before Toronto managed its only touchdown of the game with 3:17 remaining, a
21-yard strike from Bishop to Talbot, making good on a 10-play, 90-yard drive.
Calvillo then tossed a 22-yard touchdown to Cahoon with just outside a minute
remaining to close out the game.
The two teams opened the game by trading field goals around a conceded single
by Montreal for a 4-3 Toronto lead with one quarter in the books.
The Alouettes finished off a first quarter drive 1:15 into the second stanza
with the game's first touchdown. A 46-yard pass from Calvillo to Richardson
set up an 18-yard scoring strike to Cobourne making it a 10-4 game.
Toronto answered with a 15-yard Mike Vanderjagt field goal on the ensuing
possession and Duval registered a single for Montreal in the waning moments of
the first half to push the lead to 11-7.
Game Notes
Montreal is 3-2 on the road...Toronto is 2-2 at home and 2-3 against
conference rivals...Cobourne now has 607 rushing yards this season and is
threatening to become the first player in CFL history to accumulate 1,000
yards rushing and receiving in the same season...Toronto's four first-quarter
points were the most by an opponent against Montreal in the first stanza this
season. The Alouettes have outscored their opposition 73-12 in the first
quarter this season...Duval leads the CFL in scoring with 105 points...Joseph
completed 9-of-16 passed for 115 yards before Bishop took over in the second
half.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.
As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.
Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds
The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).
But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.
Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.
Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1
Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2
New York Giants - 9 - 2
Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).
Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.
So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.
And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.
They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.
But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.
Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.
Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.
Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.
Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?
Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.
In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.
Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.
Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.
The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.
The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
