Football Betting Lines

In 144 career games with Winnipeg and Toronto, Hudson rushed for 1,507 yards on 296 carries with 23 touchdowns, while also accumulating 1,951 receiving yards. He played in three Grey Cup games.

 

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.

 

"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.

 

Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Bengals hired former Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson as an assistant coach Friday. Jackson was fired by the Raiders in January following just one season as the team's head coach, finishing the year with an 8-8 record.

 

Also on Friday, the Bengals signed free agent running back Aaron Brown.

 

A sixth-round draft choice by the Detroit Lions in 2009, Brown has appeared in 22 career games with two starts for the Lions, carrying the ball 45 times for 189 yards.

 

Regina, SK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Friday that veteran offensive lineman Gene Makowsky has retired. The 38-year-old finished his 17-year career as the franchise's all-time leader in games played.

 

A Saskatchewan native, Makowsky participated 284 regular-season games, passing Roger Aldag early last year for the record, and also toiled in 16 playoff games and four Grey Cups, earning a championship ring in 2007.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
