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.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
