Blue Bombers name Crowton offensive coordinator
Football Betting Lines
01/30/2012 - Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers hired Gary Crowton as offensive coordinator on Monday, picking up in the process a coach with NFL and NCAA experience.
Crowton, most recently offensive coordinator for the University of Maryland, spent four years in the same position at LSU, where he won a BCS National Championship in 2007, and two years at Oregon. Prior to specializing on the offensive side of the ball, he held head coaching positions at BYU and Louisiana Tech.
"I am extremely excited to have Gary join the Blue Bombers coaching staff," said Winnipeg head coach Paul LaPolice. "His experiences in the spread offense are very similar to the type of offenses that are prevalent in the CFL. He will be a great teacher for our players and his expertise at the NCAA level will be especially valuable for our younger roster."
Between stints in the NCAA, Crowton spent two years as offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. His career has also taken him to Western Illinois, New Hampshire, Georgia Tech, and Boston College.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
