07/25/2008 - Winnipeg, MB (Football Betting) - Ryan Dinwiddie connected with Romby Bryant on a 35-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to an exciting 32-28 win over the Calgary Stampeders.
Dinwiddie completed 24-of-39 passes for 450 yards for the Blue Bombers (1-4), who captured their first win of the 2008 season in the final minute after they had briefly lost the lead 32 seconds earlier. Bryant caught six passes for 152 yards and Terrence Edwards had seven receptions for 143 yards in the win.
Henry Burris ended 31-of-44 for 386 yards and three touchdowns for the Stampeders (3-2), who entered the game as winners of two straight. Ken-Yon Rambo caught nine passes for 133 yards while Nik Lewis added seven receptions for 84 yards and two touchdowns for Calgary.
Calgary took a 28-25 lead with 52 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. An 11- play, 75-yard drive culminated in a six-yard TD pass from Burris to Jeremaine Copeland, who was wide open in the back of the end zone due to blown coverage by the Winnipeg backfield.
The Bombers took the ensuing kickoff back to the 44-yard line. On first down, a screen pass to Charles Roberts was good for 13 yards and Dinwiddie then found Arjei Franklin over the middle for a big gain. The Bombers were within field goal range and needed three points to force overtime, but instead opted to try for the winning score.
With enough time to go for the end zone once before the field goal attempt, Dinwiddie tossed a perfect pass that Bryant caught in the front right corner of the end zone next to the pylon with 20 seconds to play. Bryant snuck behind Calgary defender Brandon Browner and brought the ball in as he was falling to the ground for the winning score.
A last gasp attempt by Burris was knocked down in the final seconds.
The Blue Bombers held a 5-0 lead thanks to a pair of singles and a 24-yard field goal by Alexis Serna before a touchdown early in the second quarter gave the hosts a 12-0 lead.
A five-play, 69-yard drive was highlighted by a nice touch pass from Dinwiddie to Bryant, who snared the ball in the midst of traffic and took it to the five-yard line. Two players later, Graeme Bell ran into the end zone from one yard out with 11:23 on the clock.
But Calgary answered on the ensuing possession and answered with a 69-yard scoring drive of its own, this one included six plays. From the 13-yard line, Burris dropped back and connected with Lewis in the end zone. The Bombers challenged the catch, but the call stood.
After a Stamps single, the teams traded field goals -- a 30-yarder by Serna and a 45-yard boot by Sandro DeAngelis -- and went into the locker rooms with the hosts leading, 15-11.
Two field goals by Serna and one off the foot of DeAngelis provided all the scoring in a mostly defensive third quarter before a 30-yard scoring strike from Burris to Lewis with 8:01 to go in the fourth gave Calgary a 22-21 edge.
The combination of a Winnipeg single and a 45-yard field goal by Serna in the latter stages of the final stanza moved the Bombers ahead, 25-22.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com
In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.
