06/23/2009 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FACTS & FIGURES: Division - East. 2008 Record: 4-14. Playoff Result: None. Stadium - Rogers Centre. Capacity - 53,000. Colors: Oxford blue, Cambridge blue, White
The 2008 season was a disaster for the Toronto Argonauts. The club scored the fewest points in the eight-team CFL (397) and allowed the most points (627) en route to a 4-14 record. Their home record (2-7) matched their road mark, and there was virtually nothing to cheer about.
So why should fans take an interest in the 2009 squad, aside from loyalty to the home team, of course? Well, ownership made it blatantly obvious that the poor showing would not be tolerated and spent a ton of money on free agents in the off-season.
There is also a new man running the show, as Bart Andrus was hired as the team's head coach. Andrus comes with 25 years of coaching experience, including his work with the NFL's Tennessee Titans in an assistant role.
Toronto decided to begin the rebuilding process up front with the signing of two big-time linemen, Rob Murphy and Dominic Picard. The addition of those two players alone make the team more formidable, giving quarterback Kerry Joseph protection.
With the offense seemingly addressed, Toronto turned its attention to the defensive side of the ball.
The biggest move was not a signing but a trade, as the Argonauts acquired stud middle linebacker Zeke Moreno from Winnipeg for defensive end Riall Johnson. Moreno makes plays from sideline to sideline, and he will get help from Jason Pottinger.
The most notable loss for Toronto, aside from Johnson, was Dominique Dorsey, as he took his game to the NFL.
Ultimately, the team will only go as far as Joseph can take it, and he certainly has his critics as the season begins. Last year, the signal caller completed 57.3 percent of his passes for 4,174 yards with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also ran for 493 yards and four scores, but he did commit some costly fumbles.
It remains to be seen if Jamal Richardson can emerge as a true workhorse tailback, something he failed to do last season with his inconsistent play.
Overall, this Toronto team should be better, especially with the improved offensive line. Still, expect more losses than wins.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
