CFL Betting Preview
Calgary (0-1) at Winnipeg (0-1)
Friday, 7:30 pm Eastern – TSN
SBG Global Opening Line: Calgary - 5 , Total 52
The defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders will try and avoid an 0-2 start as they visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. The Stamps lost 40-27 last week to Montreal while Winnipeg lost to Edmonton 19-17. Last season the Bombers were able to upset the Stamps but this year Calgary is coming off a loss and will not overlook Winnipeg. “It’s a real big game, first home game, we really want to win this one,” says Winnipeg receiver Romby Bryant, “They’re going to come ready to play, they’re the defending champs, they’ll be ready.”
SBG Global reports that early CFL Betting has the public taking Calgary on the Road.
Calgary is on a three-game losing streak in road openers and Calgary is 3-7 in its last 10 road openers but two of those wins came in Winnipeg. Winnipeg is 6-4 over its last ten home openers. Calgary is 4-6 in its last 10 games in Winnipeg and is currently on a three-game losing streak. Calgary swept the Bombers in 2005, winning both games in Winnipeg, but has split the season series each year since, winning all three games against the Bombers at home but losing on the road every year.
Calgary’s high-powered offense struggled last week putting up only 272 yards. Things could improve this week as the Stampeders get offensive tackle Jeff Pilon and guard Jesse Newman back in the lineup in addition to last year’s leading receiver, Ken-Yon Rambo. Having Rambo back in the lineup should help quarterback Henry Burris who threw for 723 yards, eight TDs and only one interception against Winnipeg last year. Rambo had 17 catches for 222 yards last year against the Bombers.
Here are the CFL Betting stats for Friday’s game. The Stampeders are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Stampeders are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. The Stampeders are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings against Winnipeg.
SBG Global Current Line: Calgary - 6 , Total 52
The Blue Bombers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games in July.
The Over is 7-1 in the Stampeders last 8 road games. The Over is 5-1 in the Stampeders last 6 games in July. The Under is 20-6 in the Blue Bombers last 26 Friday games. The Under is 19-7 in the Blue Bombers last 26 home games.

What to pack when school is peanut-free
Post-Tribune (IN) August 2, 2008 | SARA NOEL THIS ELECTRONIC VERSION MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY FROM PRINTED VERSION Many schools are now peanut-free environments, which can present a dilemma for parents who want to send their children to school with a brown bag lunch. Here are some ways to handle the restrictions: Dear Sara — I have a son in full-day school (snack and lunch needed) and one son in morning preschool (only snack needed). Both are in peanut-free schools. I just found out that they can’t bring anything that has even a generic peanut warning that says it “may” contain nuts. This warning is on everything. I can no longer send granola bars, commercial cookies and crackers, etc. Do you have any ideas?
Dear Nicki — You can find soy butter and sunflower butter in health-food stores. You can also include food items such as yogurt, pudding, applesauce, homemade muffins, fruit, raw veggies and dip, string cheese, chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, pizza, hard-boiled eggs, breadsticks, cottage cheese, macaroni and cheese, soups, popcorn and hummus. Ask the school and other parents for suggestions, too. I realize this can be frustrating, but peanut-free options outweigh the restrictions. Check your local library for peanut-free cookbooks, too. in our site chicken salad sandwich recipe
Dear Lukesmama — Here’s a list of ideas for you to try whenever you are either bored with white rice or have leftover rice.

Little bit country: Add gravy.
Room for a ‘shroom: Add mushrooms and a sauteed garlic.
Gardener’s pick: Add chopped fresh basil, chopped tomatoes and corn.
Meaty barbecue: Add kielbasa sausage or hot dogs and barbecue sauce.
Italian flair: Add tomato-basil sauce or your favorite red sauce, cooked zucchini and Italian sausage to hot or reheated rice. Top with cheese such as mozzarella or Parmesan.
South of the border: Add diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, shredded cheese, diced cooked carrots, peas and red-pepper sauce, or add cooked beans, salsa and shredded cheese to hot or reheated rice.
In love with rice: Add marinated artichoke hearts and grated Parmesan cheese to hot or reheated rice.
Beef it up: Cook rice in beef broth. Add sauteed onions and mushrooms.
Golden rice: Cook rice in chicken stock. Add sauteed onions and mixed vegetables, such as peas and carrots.
Dear Sara — I’m looking for a new chicken salad sandwich recipe. I’d like to try something different, but I am not interested in anything that has grapes or raisins in it. I love the crunch in my sandwich, but don’t want fruit added. — Cherrie, New York Dear Cherrie — I like the following recipe when I want a crunchy chicken salad sandwich. see here chicken salad sandwich recipe
