Football Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Burris threw three touchdowns and Calgary rolled to a sixth straight win by forcing six Eskimos turnovers en route to a a 52-5 rout in the annual Labour Day Classic.
Burris finished with 226 yards and an interception on 15-of-23 passes, tossing two of his TDs to Romby Bryant, who logged five receptions for 80 yards.
Joffrey Reynolds led the running game with 85 yards and a score on 18 carries as the Stampeders kept their two-game lead atop the Western Conference.
Ricky Ray was ineffective under center for Edmonton, completing a mere 9-of-22 passes through the air for 157 yards and two interceptions, one of which Brandon Smith returned for a touchdown. Ray also lost a fumble, while Jared Zabransky was picked off twice in relief for the Eskimos, who lost to Calgary 56-15 on August 15 before knocking off Saskatchewan last week.
Edmonton's Noel Prefontaine recorded a pair of singles around a 29-yard field goal from counterpart Rob Maver in the opening quarter.
Calgary added a conceded safety later in the frame, and Reynolds' nine-yard jaunt around the left end accounted for the first touchdown and a 12-2 Stampeders lead in the first minute of the second stanza.
Shortly thereafter, Burris hit Bryant on a fade down the right sideline for a 30-yard score.
Prefontaine booted a 31-yarder to stop some of the hosts' momentum, but Smith returned his interception -- the third in as many plays -- 58 yards for a score late in the quarter.
Just before the half, Burris found Ken-Yon Rambo in the end zone from 10 yards out for a comfortable 33-5 score at the break.
A Burris-to-Bryant hookup of 19 yards near the nine-minute mark was the only TD of the third quarter.
The final score came as a result of another conceded safety by Edmonton in the third, a Maver single in the final stanza, an intentional grounding call in the end zone on Ray with just over five minutes left, and Drew Tate's pass into the flat to Deon Murphy for a 12-yard TD three minutes later.
