Hamilton edges BC
Football Betting Lines
07/11/2009 - Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - DeAndra' Cobb rushed for 100 yards on 14 carries and caught a 48-yard touchdown pass, and Geoff Tisdale ran back an interception for a score to help carry Hamilton to a hard-fought 31-28 victory over the Lions at BC Place Stadium.
Quinton Porter had a TD on the ground and through the air to go with 222 passing yards on 19-of-24 efficiency for the Tiger-Cats (1-1), who were coming off a 30-17 loss to the Argonauts in the season opener and hadn't won at British Columbia since 2004.
Cobb and Chris Davis each caught five balls for 75 and 47 yards, respectively.
Buck Pierce logged 333 passing yards on 26-of-40 throws and threw three touchdowns, but his two interceptions proved costly for BC (0-2), which dropped a 28-24 decision to the Roughriders last week.
Martell Mallett recorded 82 rushing yards on 16 carries, and Geroy Simon paced the receiving corps with seven receptions for 86 yards and a score in defeat.
Tisdale changed game's momentum just after halftime, stepping in front of an errant Pierce pass and taking it 43 yards the other way for a 21-14 lead roughly five minutes into the third. The margin moved to 10 when Nick Setta booted a 27-yard field goal later in the quarter.
The Lions made it a one-possession game with Jarious Jackson's one-yard sneak over the goal line early in the fourth, but Cobb broke several tackles en route to a 48-yard touchdown reception with just under nine minutes to play.
Emmanuel Arceneux came down with a 42-yard bomb from Pierce with two minutes remaining to give the hosts one last chance.
The Lions got the ball back at their own 36-yard line with 1:16 left and Pierce moved the ball into enemy territory with a long scramble.
But on the very next play, former Lion Otis Floyd stepped back into coverage and picked off a Pierce pass, sealing Hamilton's impressive road win.
Setta knocked in a 51-yard field goal to open the game's scoring, and Pierce answered by hitting Paris Jackson on a 29-yard touchdown pass with 5 1/2 minutes to play in the first quarter for a 6-3 BC lead.
A Setta single was followed by a seven-play, 75-yard drive from the Lions, capped when Pierce hooked up with Simon on a five-yard out at the end of the opening quarter.
Hamilton followed a Paul McCallum single with a 75-yard drive of its own in the second stanza, with Porter rushing for a 13-yard touchdown midway through.
Setta's 42-yard field goal tied the score with just over two minutes to go in the half.
Game Notes
McCallum injured his right knee early in the second half and did not return...Last season, the Lions swept both contests in the series, first by claiming a 35-12 decision in early September and then an even more lopsided 40-10 final later the same month...Mallett also had 82 yards on six catches.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
