Eskimos re-sign K/P Prefontaine

Football Betting Lines

11/25/2008 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Edmonton Eskimos re-signed veteran kicker/punter Noel Prefontaine Tuesday. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, as is club policy.

"It seems like a no-brainer to me. The Eskimos have welcomed me with open arms since I was traded here. I look forward to spending the next few seasons with the team and to help them win a Grey Cup," Prefontaine said.

Prefontaine, a 10-year veteran of the CFL, was traded to the Eskimos on May 31, 2008 from Toronto in exchange for Edmonton's first round selection in the 2009 Canadian Draft and a conditional pick in the 2010 draft.

"Pre has been a big asset to our locker room. He's a proven veteran and one of the CFL's best kickers. He handles both kicking and punting duties exceptionally well," Eskimo head coach and director of football operations Danny Maciocia said.

In his first year with Edmonton, the Camp Pendleton, California native played in 17 games, connecting on 35-of-46 field goal attempts. He had 103 punts for 4,831 yards (46.9 average) and 77 kickoffs for 4,636 yards (60.2 avg).

Prefontaine spent his first 10 years with the Argonauts and has 1,105 points with 130 singles, having made 230-of-328 career field goal attempts.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
