Grey Cup rematch helps kick off historic CFL season
Football Betting Lines
02/17/2012 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Canadian Football League will celebrate in 2012 the 100th Grey Cup championship, and the season will open on June 29 with a pair of games, including a rematch of the 2011 Grey Cup between Winnipeg and British Columbia.
The Lions beat the Blue Bombers last November for the 99th Grey Cup title, and the teams will meet in Vancouver in the nightcap of the opening day doubleheader. The first game of the day, and the season, will pit Saskatchewan against Hamilton.
Toronto will visit Edmonton on June 30 before Calgary hosts Montreal on Canada Day to conclude the opening weekend's action.
The highlight to the year will come on November 25 in Toronto, when two teams will meet in the 100th Grey Cup game.
"We have so much planned for this year, to celebrate the true Canadian icon that is the Grey Cup, and share this historic milestone with our fellow Canadians," said CFL commissioner Mark Cohon. "It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate something that is uniquely ours, to celebrate how the Grey Cup has always brought us together as Canadians, and to celebrate simply being Canadian."
Another feature to the CFL schedule is Labour Day weekend, which opens on Friday, August 31 when BC visits Montreal. Saskatchewan will host Winnipeg on Sunday, September 2, before the traditional rivalry games between Toronto and Hamilton and Edmonton and Calgary on Monday.
The playoffs begin Sunday, November 11 with the division semifinals and continue the following Sunday with the division finals, all leading up to the Grey Cup celebration in Toronto.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
