Football Betting Lines
07/27/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Calgary wide receiver Romby Bryant, Montreal defensive end John Bowman, Winnipeg kick returner Jovon Johnson and Calgary running back Jon Cornish were selected as the CFL's top performers for Week 4 of the 2010 season.
Bryant earned the Offensive Player of the Week for helping the Stampeders claim a lopsided 40-20 victory over Saskatchewan. In the win, the wide receiver hauled in touchdown passes of 67 and 10 yards, both coming in the second half. Bryant finished with seven total catches for 116 yards.
Earning the defensive award was Bowman, who led the defense with a career-best four sacks in the Alouettes' 37-14 domination of Hamilton. He also forced a pair of fumbles, with one being recovered for a turnover.
Johnson took home the special teams award for the week after returning an 83- yard punt for a score in the later stages of the fourth quarter of his squad's 47-21 victory over Edmonton. He ended with four punt returns for 100 yards and also gained 36 yards on a missed field goal.
Rounding out the weekly awards was Cornish, taking the Canadian Player of the Week. The running back helped the Stamps to victory over the Roughriders with a 50-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter. Cornish rushed five times for 77 yards and had one catch for 20 yards.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
