Alouettes rout Eskimos

Football Betting Lines

07/09/2009 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Calvillo completed 24-of-32 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing TD, as the Montreal Alouettes routed the Edmonton Eskimos, 50-16, in the second game of the season for both teams.

Kerry Watkins caught nine passes for 119 yards and one score for the Alouettes (2-0), who kicked off the season by claiming a convincing 40-27 triumph over the reigning champion Calgary Stampeders. S.J. Green brought in five balls for 113 yards and a TD.

Avon Cobourne led the way on the ground, rushing for 65 yards and a score on 10 carries for Montreal, which was the only team in the East Division to post double-digit victories in 2008.

Edmonton (1-1), which won 19-17 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the season opener, sorely missed running back Jesse Lumsden on Thursday. Lumsden will miss at least nine games after dislocating his left shoulder in the opener.

Eskimos quarterback Ricky Ray ended up leading the way on the ground, rushing for 33 yards on five carries. Arkee Whitlock finished with 29 yards and a score on 12 rushing attempts.

Ray completed 19-of-33 passes for 280 yards. Maurice Mann caught seven balls for 139 yards.

Calvillo's 28-yard strike to Watkins early in the first quarter gave the Als a 7-0 lead. The Eskimos used a 22-yard field goal from Noel Prefontaine late in the frame to cut the deficit to 8-3.

Montreal used the arm of Calvillo and the foot of Damon Duval to take a comfortable 19-6 margin heading into the locker room. Prefontaine cut the gap to three with a 15-yard field goal early in the second period. The Alouettes, though, finished out the quarter with an 11-yard field goal from Duval and a Calvillo 3-yard TD run to take control.

Prefontaine's 14-yard field goal proved to be the only scoring in the third period.

The Als turned the game into a rout in the fourth, scoring four touchdowns and a field goal. Calvillo got things started when he connected with Green on a 21-yard TD pass early in the frame. Also included in the quarter was a 67- yard punt return from Larry Taylor and a 38-yard interception return by Cory Huclack.

Whitlock capped the scoring in the contest with a 1-yard TD run.

Game Notes

It was the 87th consecutive sellout for Montreal...Als' Keron Williams had five tackles and two sacks, while Mark Estelle recorded eight tackles. Jonte Buhl led the Eskimos defense with six sacks.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
