Football Betting Lines

07/06/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant and wide receiver Andy Fantuz, Winnipeg linebacker Joe Lobendahn and Hamilton kick returner Marcus Thigpen have been selected as the CFL's top performers for the first week of the regular season.

Durant was named the offensive player of the week after completing 30-of-44 passes for 478 yards with five touchdowns in a 54-51 double overtime victory over Montreal. He also rushed for 52 yards and a TD on just five carries.

Fantuz was named the top Canadian player after catching eight passes from Durant for 77 yards, including a touchdown in the final minute of regulation.

Lobendahn took the defensive player of the week accolades after finishing with eight tackles and two sacks in a 49-29 decision over Hamilton despite Thigpen's performance.

Thigpen earned the special teams honors for becoming the first player with two return touchdowns in a game since Keith Stokes did so in 2002 with Montreal. He finished with 340 return yards, returning the opening kickoff 93 yards for a score and then a missed field goal 118 yards to paydirt in the fourth.
