Yards Beats Tampa At Patriots

Football Betting Lines

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts inked wideout Jason Barnes, signing the fleet receiver through 2013. Barnes, who was plucked from the Edmonton Eskimos, will be reunited with former Esks quarterback and current Argos signal caller Ricky Ray.

 

The 27-year-old Sacramento State product posted career highs of 50 receptions, 869 yards and seven touchdowns with Edmonton in 2011, his third CFL campaign. Since 2009, the California native has totaled 99 catches for 1,633 yards and 11 scores.

 

"I am definitely excited about the opportunity to come to Toronto and continue to play with Ricky; I'm glad it worked out the way it did," Barnes said. "Toronto is an amazing city and I've always enjoyed playing there. I'm excited to make it my home and get to know my new teammates."

 

"We are very happy to have Glenn back in the fold for next season," said Bombers vice president and general manager Joe Mack. "Coming off a serious injury to being named a Divisional All-Star is something to be proud of and we're very happy we were able to keep another member of our offensive line in tact."

 

Haynesworth was claimed off waivers from New England on November 9, a day after the Patriots cut the embattled Tennessee product loose. He totaled 20 tackles in seven games (six starts) for Tampa Bay at the end of last season.

 

In 123 career games with the Titans, Redskins, Pats and Bucs, the 30-year-old has compiled 347 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks.

 

The Louisiana native, who played collegiately for both Tulane and Virginia, racked up 21 catches for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the 2010 regular season, adding four grabs for 57 yards in that year's Grey Cup loss to Montreal.

 

Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The British Columbia Lions signed defensive backs Ryan Phillips and Dante Marsh on Wednesday. Phillips returns for his eighth season with the defending Grey Cup champions and was eligible for free agency. The two-time CFL All-Star has 320 tackles and 31 interceptions in 126 career games with the Lions.

 

"The success of our defense in recent years is due in large part to having a core of experienced veterans playing key positions," said head coach Mike Benevides. "Ryan and Dante's athleticism and ability to make big plays when we need them the most make them vital parts of our team."

 

The announcement, made during an unusual video chat on Moss' 35th birthday on Monday in which the once-feared playmaker also expounded on such thought- provoking subjects as bodily waste and picking one's nose in clear view, grabbed headlines as much for its bizarreness as the well-placed timing of taking place in the mundane week after the league's title game.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
