Football Betting Lines
02/15/2012 - Mississauga, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts re-signed free agent linebacker Jason Pottinger on Wednesday, keeping him with the club through the 2013 season.
"We are happy to be able to keep Jason in his hometown of Toronto. His athleticism, intelligence and leadership make him a valuable asset to our team," said Argos general manager Jim Barker. "His dedication to the Argos was never more evident than last season, when he played through an ACL injury, where many others would have not have even attempted to play. He represents everything an Argo should be and it was important for us to keep him here."
Pottinger suffered that knee injury in the 2011 season opener but returned in Week 10. He finished with 34 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles.
The former second-overall pick of British Columbia in 2006, the 28-year-old has totaled 162 tackles and five sacks with the Lions (2006-08) and Argonauts (2009-present).
"It's about time we bring pride back to the Double Blue and a Grey Cup to our dedicated fans," Pottinger said. "It's great to be able to continue to play in front of my family and friends and nothing would be sweeter than competing for a Grey Cup on home soil this year."

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
