Grey Cup rematch helps kick off historic CFL season
Football Betting Lines
02/17/2012 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Canadian Football League will celebrate in 2012 the 100th Grey Cup championship, and the season will open on June 29 with a pair of games, including a rematch of the 2011 Grey Cup between Winnipeg and British Columbia.
The Lions beat the Blue Bombers last November for the 99th Grey Cup title, and the teams will meet in Vancouver in the nightcap of the opening day doubleheader. The first game of the day, and the season, will pit Saskatchewan against Hamilton.
Toronto will visit Edmonton on June 30 before Calgary hosts Montreal on Canada Day to conclude the opening weekend's action.
The highlight to the year will come on November 25 in Toronto, when two teams will meet in the 100th Grey Cup game.
"We have so much planned for this year, to celebrate the true Canadian icon that is the Grey Cup, and share this historic milestone with our fellow Canadians," said CFL commissioner Mark Cohon. "It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate something that is uniquely ours, to celebrate how the Grey Cup has always brought us together as Canadians, and to celebrate simply being Canadian."
Another feature to the CFL schedule is Labour Day weekend, which opens on Friday, August 31 when BC visits Montreal. Saskatchewan will host Winnipeg on Sunday, September 2, before the traditional rivalry games between Toronto and Hamilton and Edmonton and Calgary on Monday.
The playoffs begin Sunday, November 11 with the division semifinals and continue the following Sunday with the division finals, all leading up to the Grey Cup celebration in Toronto.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
