The public loves Hamilton here this week, but Winnipeg has proven their metal as underdogs, and must be respected here  getting more than FG. Winnipeg is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games.The Bombers’ road to success lies in its ground attack. Winnipeg led the CFL in rushing (147.9 yards a game) but was last over all in passing (212.2 yards a game). Needless to say Im betting they pound the rock on the ground to today and remain much more competitive then they were in the 2 losses they suffered to the TiCats this season.

Ottawa is having a bad season, and the usual hard nosed type of football they play under Campbell their coach is almost non existent.

Im betting the running game of Saskatchewan will  have success on the  ground and pound  away with success vs a over rated Bombers front-seven, opening up the passing option for Shaq Evans and Jordan Williams-Lambert.

SASKATCHEWAN is 6-0 ATS  versus good rushing teams - averaging 5.7 or more rushing yards/carry over the last 2 seasons.SASKATCHEWAN is 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in home games after outgaining opp by 70 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games .

CFL Playoffs - Eastern Semifinals

Both of these teams enter this playoff tilt  after  inconsistent seasons.They spilt their two meetings, but my own current updated power rankings suggest the Lions will come out of this with the victory. Look for the Lions to rally around HC Buono who is in his final year of his illustrious career, and get the victory. 

Note: Hamilton enters the Eastern Semi-Final with just one of their key receivers remaining in their lineup from the start of the season — Luke Tasker.

HAMILTON is 1-9 ATS  in games where the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons.BRITISH COLUMBIA is 15-4 ATS L/19  in road games revenging a loss where opponent scored 38 or more points .BRITISH COLUMBIA is 6-0 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games this season.

CFB Underdogs or pick (BRITISH COLUMBIA) - after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread, when playing on a Sunday 105-54 ATS L/22 seasons. 

Play on the BC Lions to cover 

 BC comes into this game on fire having won three straight games, but Im betting their run ends here today vs a Saskatchewan side that has won 4 of their L/5 overall, and that matches up well against the Lions according to my head to head power rankings. Saskatchewan already went into BC and took out the Lions earlier this season 24-21 and smashed BC last year at home by DDs. I know the Lions have revenge on board, but you don't always get what you want as Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones can tell you. 

BRITISH COLUMBIA is 0-6 ATS after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. 

CFL Home teams vs. the money line (SASKATCHEWAN) - after allowing 275 or less total yards in their previous game against opponent after gaining 8.1 or more yards/play in their previous game are 31-7 L/22 seasons for a 82% conversion rate for bettors.

These two teams look pretty evenly matched in their current losing forms, as both display ugly 3-12 SU records. Montreal does however matchup well vs the Argos and won their L/ meeting. Despite of  Toronto having revenge on board, the Als from a statistical standpoint deserves my backing a FG or more. 

TORONTO is 1-8 ATS  versus mistake prone teams - 88+ penalty yards per game - after 9 or more games over the last 3 seasons.

CFL Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (MONTREAL) - with a poor passing D - allowing 300 or more passing yards/game are 26-7 ATS L/22 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.TORONTO is 2-10 ATS  versus poor passing defenses - allowing 300 or more passing yards/game over the last 3 seasons.

Edmonton after three straight losses came out in their last game and laid a beatdown on visiting Ottawa by a 34-16 count, but Im betting things won't come so easily this week at BC. The Lions have won 5 of their L/6 games and are 6-1 at home this season and have played consistent ball all season long while the Eskimos have not. 

EDMONTON is 13-34 ATS L/47 in road games after gaining 8.1 or more yards/play in their previous game.Maas is 3-12 ATS after gaining 350 or more passing yards in last game as the coach of EDMONTON.

Calgary after starting their season with 7 straight wins is just 2-2 in their L/4 games, and have failed to cover 3 of their L/4 overall. Both SU losses came on the road where they play today. Meanwhile, Hamilton after a slow start to their campaign are humming along right now having won 3 straight and 4 of their L/5 SU/ATS and get the nod today in their current form vs a side that could be in an emotional down situation after a high energy meeting and  48-42 loss  vs provincial rival Edmonton last time out. 

HAMILTON is 10-1 ATS struggling  passing defenses - allowing a comp. pct. of 64% or worse - after 9 or more games over the last 2 seasons.

Its always a big game for  CFL home teams when Calgary comes to town, and you can bet the Eskimos and their fans will be tuned up to pull off the upset. Edmonton is just 6-5 on the season, and have lost 3 of their L/4 with all the losses closely contested. The Eskies are however,  undefeated at home this season, and actually matchup well vs this visiting power house , according to my rankings and have the ability to hand the Stampeders just their 2nd loss of the season. Take the points. 

EDMONTON is 9-2 ATS as an underdog over the last 2 seasons.

 Saskatchewan has won three straight games, while Winnipeg has lost 3 straight. In my humble opinion and based on both sides recent performances this game should be closer to a pickem, thus giving us value the Green Riders on this tainted line. Saskatchewan has covered 4 of the L/6 meetings in this series and get my support here in this spot. 

SASKATCHEWAN is 11-3 ATS in weeks 10 through 15 over the last 3 seasons.SASKATCHEWAN is 11-2 ATS off in 2 straight division games over the last 3 seasons.SASKATCHEWAN is 16-6 ATS off 2 straight wins against division rivals since 1996.

Calgary (7-1) must be considered the front runner for the Grey Cup this season despite of suffering an upset lost to Saskatchewan last time out , and Winnipeg (5-4) their opposition while competitive have proven inconsistent this season. The Bombers over the last few years are solid in the underdog role, and tonight I'm betting they give this powerful Stamps team all they can handle.WINNIPEG is 13-3 ATS as a road underdog over the last 3 seasons.
Winnipeg also lost last week , and were run over, by Ottawa, but have proven resilient in a comeback role going ,9-0 ATS in road games after being outgained by opp by 70 or more total yards last game over the last 3 seasons.

WINNIPEG is 8-0 ATS in road games versus good passing teams averaging 8.3 or more passing yards/att over the last 3 O'Shea is a perfect 8-0 ATS in road games versus good passing teams averaging 8.3 or more passing yards/att as the coach of the Bombers.

Blue Bombers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Calgary.

Calgary 6-0 on the the season is the class of the league and the front runner for taking the Grey Cup this season. Saskatchewan has lost 4 of 6 games, with their only wins coming in back to back tries vs the Hamilton Ti Cats. The Green Riders don't have much fire power, averaging just 21 points a game on offence and thats not a good thing considering the visiting Stamps own the leagues top D, allowing just 12.3 ppg. The Stamps have won and covered their L/3 trips Saskatchewan and another win and cover is on todays agenda. 

CALGARY is 8-0 ATS off 2 straight wins against division rivals over the last 3 seasons with the average combined margin of victory coming by 19.5 ppg.

Montreal has looked less than consistent this season, and are off two horrible defensive performances and losses. There has been a lot of soul searching going on in the land of the Allouettes, after last weeks embarrassing 50-11 defeat to Hamilton, and now somewhat of a bounce back effort must be expected against their Eastern rivals Ottawa this week, from a group that desperately need some redemption medicine. Meanwhile, Ottawa lost a heart breaker in a back and forth battle last week to Toronto 42-41 and could easily find themselves in an emotional letdown scenario vs a struggling team that Im sure will not inspire them. With that said, lets take the points. with a downtrodden side. Note: Road dogs off a loss in the CFL L/21 seasons with at least 4 days rest are 60% proposition. 

OTTAWA is 0-6 ATS in home games after gaining 7.6 or more yards/play in their previous game over the last 3 seasons.

OTTAWA is 4-20 ATS L/24 versus poor passing defenses - allowing 300 or more passing yards/game.

The Toronto Argos took it on the chin last week, vs this same Winnipeg Blue Bombers team by a 38-20 count as short home dogs, and now have revenge on board in the quick turnaround rematch of a home and home series. I know the Bombers dominated, but last week they were being underestimated by the lines makers, and now this week their is over reaction to the last result. Toronto despite of exhibiting some issues, showed some promise at QB with James Franklin (65.5 %  Comp) and look very much to be a value choice here vs this slightly bloated line. It must be noted that the Blue Bombers have failed to cover five straight games as a double-digit favorite while TO has covered 5 of their L/7 as underdogs. Also from a league wide database it must also be noted that road dogs off a loss, with at least 4 days rest are a long term solid wagering opportunity cashing at 62% or more of the time, if they are less than 14 point dogs. 

 HC O'Shea of Winnipeg is 0-7 ATS  after allowing 150 or less passing yards in their last game , which the Argos were able to accomplish.

WINNIPEG is 5-17 ATS  after outrushing opponent by 125 or more yards last game and is 10-24 ATS after outrushing opponent by 100 or more yards last game.

CFL Road underdogs or pick (TORONTO) - with a poor defense - allowing 385 or more total yards/game, after gaining 275 or less total yards in their previous game are 54-25 L/22 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

Play on the Toronto Argos to cover 

As bad as perceptions of the Allouettes might be, their still a proud group playing at home. Losing to what my power rankings suggest is the leagues best team last week   (Calgary ) by a 25-8 count , is nothing to be embarrassed of. The Als also went right into Saskatchewan this season and pulled off the SU upset , and despite of their 1-4 record are being underestimated vs a Edmonton side that has lost both their road games this season.  Right or wrong  there is just to much home value to pass in taking the home dog in this spot. 

EDMONTON is 2-10 ATS  as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 2 seasons ands 4-12 ATS  as a favorite over the last 2 seasons and s 2-9 ATS L/11  in non-conference games.

CFL team vs the money line (EDMONTON) - after failing to cover the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games against opponent after covering the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games are 4-34 L/5 seasons for a go against 89% conversion rate for bettors. 

Play on the Montreal Als to cover 

The Argos continue to play without their starting QB Ricky Ray, and my humble opinion are in trouble. The Toronto offence has already shown signs of floundering without Ray at the helm, and tonight vs an under rated Winnipeg side those problems could easily be magnified. Winnipeg owns a +48 point differential this season while, Toronto is a chilly -40. Yes, the Argos D, has looked solid, but will tire if the team continues to stagnate on offence and the D  remains on the field for extended periods of time. The Argos have already shown lapses in their pass defense and more breakdowns are possible going forward. I know Winnipeg lost last week, vs the Lions thanks to a late collapse, but the Bombers are legitimate contenders despite of a 2-3 record , and must not be underestimated. 

Bombers are 17-4 SU ATS L/21 road games.

WINNIPEG is 13-4 ATS versus poor rushing teams - averaging 90 or less rushing yards/game over the last few seasons.

WINNIPEG is 6-0 ATS after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread over the last 2 seasons and is 8-1 ATS in road games off a division game over the last few seasons.

Play on Winnipeg to cover 

The Bombers continue to play  without star quarterback Matt Nichols, but Chris Streveler has played well as his replacement. However, that may be short lived as the scouts get better reads on this QB.  I'm betting his current fluidity will be tested, most probably tonight vs a BC Lions defence, that despite of giving up some big plays and points last week vs Edmonton are a solid speedy group that must not be disrespected or underestimated. Meanwhile, the Lions are also capable of taking advantage of a Bombers D, that was dominated on time of possession last week by  the Tiger-Cats , and were on the field for a total of 37:30 of the tilt and could still be feeling the effects of that exhausting sub par performance. In their two losses this season, the Bombers  have  allowed opposition quarterbacks to throw 777 yards via their aerial attacks, and could get torched again, by a a QB in Johnathon Jennings that is itching be let loose by HC Buono.

Its interesting to note that BC won the last meeting between these teams by a 36-27 count , but the previous 5 meetings were close affairs, with 4 of those games decided by a FG or less, and one by 6 points.

BRITISH COLUMBIA is 38-20 ATS L/58  as a road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points.BC HC Buono is 35-8 ATS  as a road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points in all games he has coached in his career and 24-9 ATS  in road games off a loss against a division rival in all games he has coached.

  The  Riders have been  giving up a some big plays that look great on highlight films but their overall defence is of the top tier variety and has not given up a lot of yards so far this season. Hamilton has a lot of playmakers,  that begins with the arm of QB Masoli ,but moving the ball I'm betting won't be as easy as the pundits might think against this Riders D. With that said, take the points with the home dog Roughriders.

Tiger-Cats are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win.Tiger-Cats are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games in July. Roughriders are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss and ATS loss.

 The Winnipeg Blue  Bombers are of a grueling loss to the Edmonton Eskimos  by a 33-30 count last week in their home opener, blowing a late lead , that will now have them in an emotional letdown scenario. Also here on the road with stating QB Matt Nichols ( Knee ) his inexperienced backups may have some problems dealing with an improved Al's defense.  Meanwhile, this will be Montreal's first home game with HC Mike Sherman at the helm, and with his team backed by a rowdy home crowd will be primed and motivated to move this franchise back to the illustrious history it had previously enjoyed in the CFL prior to the last ugly couple of seasons.

Play on Montreal Als to cover

After a fast start last season, the BC Lions fell apart as the season progressed, and lost 9 of their L/11 games thanks to offense that had very little flow as is evident by scoring 25 or less points in 5 of their L/7 tilts. The Als have a new offensive coordinator but its the talent on board, that does not mix well, and I'm doubting a significant increase in offensive efficiency. Meanwhile, Montreal is off a horrendous season, but now with former GB Packers Mike Sherman in town and the speedy WR Chris Williams haul down passes their on their way to a rebound season, and more importantly  be competitive here tonight.

CFL Underdogs SU (MONTREAL) - terrible passing defense from last season - allowed a comp pct of 64% or worse, in non-conference games are 22-11 SU L/5 22 seasons.

Calgary annihilated the Ti-Cats 60-1 in an embarrassing affair here last season. You can bet the Ti -Cats will be hell bent on revenge and more importantly making sure they don't get run over again. Hamilton has a lot of speed on offense and can take advantage of the off season changes the Stampeders have made on defense. I know that Calgary QB bo Levi Mitchell is a stud QB ,and has a lot of weapons to work with, but Hamilton's newly revamped D, might surprise us here today. With that said, Ill recommend we take  take the points .

HAMILTON is 8-1 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last few seasons.

CFL Underdogs vs. the money line (HAMILTON) - terrible passing defense from last season - allowed a comp pct of 64% or worse, in non-conference games are 22-11 L/22 seasons for a 68% SU conversion rate with the average margin deficit clicking in at Team 27 Opp 24.2 .

Two teams off 12-6 campaigns go head to head today here in Winnipeg in the opening game of the season for both clubs. Edmonton has two veteran QBs with Reilly and Glen at the helm of the offense, but have lost offensive weapons in the off season. The defense on the other hand despite of some veteran stalwarts like Almondo Sewell are a over rated group in my humble betting opinion, and susceptible to down campaign.  Meanwhile, the Bombers despite of having to replace starting QB Matt Nichols because of a knee injury, are more than capable of competing with Alex Ross and Chris Streveler under center, who will be buoyed with Darvin Adams and Andrew Harris as well as all purpose star RB Weston Dresser. On defense the Bombers return their two best tacklers, Loffler & Santo-Knox and one of the best pass rushers in the league Jackson Jeffcoat.

With that said, I expect the home crowd will help motivate this under appreciated Bombers team to being an extremely competitive opponent for the visiting Eskimos.

WINNIPEG is 11-2 ATS  as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last few seasons. HC Maas is 4-12 ATS  L/16 as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points as the coach of EDMONTON.

CFL Playoffs - Western Semifinal

Winnipeg played their most complete game of the season in their last effort before the play offs against Calgary beating the leagues best team by a 23-5 count on the road . Now I'm betting they use the momentum from that game here today and get us the cover vs a Edmonton team that they  beat in both meetings this season home and away.

WINNIPEG is 12-1 ATS L/13 when playing against a team with a winning record dating back to last season and is 7-0 ATS  versus good passing teams averaging 300 or more passing yards/game this season. WINNIPEG is 15-4 ATS L/19 as an underdog over the last 2 seasons.

Dan LeFevour will earn the start at quarterback Friday when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers travel to Calgary for the regular-season finale against the Stampeders. He matches up very well against this type of team, and I'm betting he will move the ball against a top tier Calgary team and help us get the cover here.

It must be noted that the Bombers are a cover machine:

WINNIPEG is 11-1 ATS  L/11 when playing against a team with a winning record.  WINNIPEG is 6-0 ATS  L/6 in road games versus excellent passing teams with a completion pct. of 64% or better - after 9 or more games and 8-1 ATS  L/9 versus good offensive teams - scoring 29 or more points/game.WINNIPEG is 7-0 ATS  L/7 after playing a game at home this season.

Bombers HC O'Shea is 14-2 ATS  L/16 in a road game where the total is greater than or equal to 52 .

Winnipeg got beat 29-10 in the first meeting between these teams back in July 29-10, but are now in a better flow and look like viable underdogs in this spot.

Winnipeg is a contender for this seasons Grey Cup according to my power rankings, an are in a uptrend at the moment winning 8 of their L/10. and despite of Toronto from time to time pulling off some quality performances, are needless to say not a real threat .

TORONTO is 0-7 ATS  against teams who commit 1.25 or less turnovers/game on the season and is 2-12 ATS  L/14 versus good offensive teams - scoring 29 or more points/game.WINNIPEG is 12-4 ATS  L/16 versus poor rushing teams - averaging 90  or less rushing yards/game.WINNIPEG is 9-2 ATS  L/11 versus awful passing defenses - allowing a comp. pct. of 64% or worse this season.WINNIPEG is 9-0 ATS L/9 off a home win , which happened last time out.WINNIPEG is 6-0 ATS   in road games after being outgained by opp by 70 or more total yards last game and  is 7-0 ATS L/7  in road games in non-conference games.TORONTO is 0-6 ATS  L/6  in home games in October games and  is 4-14 ATS  L/18  in non-conference games.

Calgary enters this game against Hamilton as the class of the league, after having won their first 7 games and covering 6 of those 7 tilts. The Stamps can beat you in many different ways, and when focused are a lethal force. Tonight against a Hamilton team that has been improving since a horrendous start to their season, and off a upset win vs the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last time out, will now have the full attention of a well coached Stampeders team. I know the Ti-Cats will be primed to compete and pull off another upset, but Calgary has a way of feeding off other teams ramped up home crowds, and use that energy to smack around their hosts. Lay it and play it with the visitors tonight.

Hamilton after a horrendous start to their season have been very competitive of late, and have covered their L/2 as DD road dogs, at Ottawa and BC winning both times SU. Now we are getting more than two TDs again with the Ti Cats vs a Winnipeg side, off a grueling and emotional underdog road win vs Edmonton last time out, and now will be in a letdown mode vs a side they maybe over looking and underestimating.

Montreal has revenge on board for a embarrassing 38-6 beatdown at the hands of the Argos last time these teams met on Aug 19.  That loss triggered a current 5 game losing streak for the Als, and now I expect a big time motivated effort from Montreal in this spot as they look for payback and a chance at correcting their current run. It must be noted that Montreal did beat the Als the week before the above mentioned loss  by a 21-9 count, and actually matchup well vs Toronto.

The defending Grey Cup Champion Ottawa RedBlacks after winning 3 straight games conclusively, fell asleep at the proverbial wheel last time out and were upset by the lowly Hamilton Ti Cats 26-22. The usually hard working RedBlacks were dismal in that game, and now I'm betting they rebound in a big way  vs a Montreal team that has lost 4 straight and 6 of their L/7 SU , and that they clobbered 32-4 at Montreal on Aug 31.  .

Ottawa after winning the Grey Cup last season, came into this season with a huge target on their backs. The RedBlacks played hard like they always do , but ran themselves down, in some grueling hard fought early season games. Last week after 8 days of rest, they smashed the lowly Hamilton Ti-Cats by a 37-18 for their first comfortable win giving them a 2-6 record on the season.  Now this week , against a hungry and under rated BC Lions team, I'm betting they will experience a let down effort, vs a team that played the leagues top team Calgary last week very tough losing a heart breaking 21 -17 decision, and that  a week after losing the 2nd of a home and home vs the Saskatchewan Riders. BRITISH COLUMBIA has reacted well in this situation going   6-0 ATS  L/6 after 2 or more consecutive straight up losses .

After a hard fought physical 27-20 win vs Ottawa last week as visitors , I expect the Eskies at 7-0 will be a little tired and vulnerable here this week in their 2nd straight road game , vs what is now becoming a very explosive Winnipeg offense, that beat up on Hamilton last time out by a  39-12 count . Look for Winnipeg team that averages 34.4 ppg  to come out of this on top, buoyed by their home field advantage and under rated talent.

 BC has had the Sask Roughriders number for a while now , as is evident by having won 7 straight meetings SU including 3 straight as visitors. Now we have a situation where , a famous Einstein quote comes into play.

The definition of insanity is when you do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

While all good and bad runs must come to end, this individual situation I'm betting does not warrant a change in flow in my humble opinion. The Lions on paper matchup very well, vs the Green Riders, and barring some unforeseen circumstances are the right side here tonight.

The Hamilton ti Cats were completely embarrassed last week losing 60-1 to the Calgary Stampeders. That was the 2rd worst loss in the franchise history, and third worst loss in league archives history. That loss came a week after they almost defeated this weeks opponent the Edmonton Eskimos, losing a heart breaking 31-28 battle at home. Now after that last ugly effort, and redemption at hand, I expect we will see  a much better effort from the Ti-Cats this week vs a Eskimos side off an emotional win vs the BC Lions last week for first place in the West. Now in a natural letdown spot, I expect Edmonton will not be in top form, making getting points a solid proposition. I know its hard, backing a side that was just annihilated , but I'm betting last week result was an anomaly , and that the coaching staff and player personnel will  be better prepared.

Toronto (3-2) played hard in a recent win vs the Ottawa RedBlacks, and came away with a 3 point victory. The margin was not impressive but the work ethic, and coaching staff impressed me as did some of their defensive stands. Maybe just maybe, the Argos are on their way back up the proverbial ladder. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan (1-3) Roughriders remain very talented, finished 2016 with a 15-2-1 record , but were upset in a key play off game in OT vs the eventual Grey Cup Champion RedBlacks. Watching them lose to Calgary last week, showed me this team seems to still feeling the effects of last years deflating final result, and their not playing with the same urgency they played last season with. Today I'm expecting the hungrier team (Toronto) to cover the number and possibly pull off an upset. This I'm also betting might finally wake the Roughriders up moving forward.

This CFL conflict between host Edmonton and visiting BC features two teams with four-game win streaks vying for first place . This is a big early season game, and 'm betting the Eskies top tier D that has, allowed a league-low eight touchdowns in total and 307.5 yards of net offence per game outperforms the Lions top tier offense.

B.C. is the West Division’s best passing team with 338.6 yards per game, while the Eskimos boast the fewest passing yards allowed in the league at 240.8 yards per game. The Eskimos key to key stops and frustrating opposing offenses has been the pressure generated by the defensive line, who will once again give the Eskimos the edge tonight and get us the win. Edmonton has won the three most recent meetings in Alberta and took the first game they played this year on the road by a FG, and  tonight I'm betting nothing changes.

CFL Road teams straight up like BC Lions - after gaining 425 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games against opponent after outgaining opposition by 70 or more total yards in their previous game are just 5-32 SU for a go against conversion rate of 87% conversion rate for bettors dating back 21 seasons.

The line on this game has moved enough for me to back the hard working defending Grey Cup Champion Ottawa RedBalcks vs a upstart Toronto team that maybe getting a little to much respect in this spot. The RedBalcks maybe just 1-3 on the season, but have played a hard early season schedule, that might be taxing on some teams, but will be a catalyst for the RedBlacks , to get back in winning form vs a Toronto team that despite of being 2-2 is not the superior team in this matchup. It must be noted that Ottawa's first 4 games of the season were decided by a total of 7 points, and their win vs under rated Montreal on the July 24 was by 5 points. If the RedBalcks lose this game Im betting the margin , will be extremely close and we will get the cover. I however, won;t be surprised by a straight up win by the visitors here.

After two grueling tilts against the Calgary Stampeders to start their season, the defending Grey Cup Champs, had a down performance last time out, and were upset vs the  Toronto Argos , a scenario that I envisioned. Now however, after their shabby effort, they will now be ready to perform, vs a Edmonton Eskimos team that despite of 2 straight wins, are still a little over rated. No body plays harder than the RedBlacks in this league, and  despite of the Eskies wanting to make a mark vs the defending champs, the RedBalks won't go without a hardcore fight and must be respected as underdogs.

The defending Grey Cup Champs fought hard last week in a OT tie to these same Calgary Stampeders  in Ottawa in rematch of last season championship game. Now in the 2nd rematch I once again expect the RedBlacks will not roll over and die and have alot to prove to their detractors who constantly tell us their inferior championship team. What few seem to realize is that, this RedBlacks team may not be as talented as some other teams in this league, but what they do have is grit and pride, and no one in this league plays as hard as they do. With that said, I'm recommening we take the points here.

Hamilton and Toronto both underachieved last season. In the final meeting between both teams the Argos prevailed by a 33-21 count.   

Hamilton had a boatload full of injuries, and despite of their starting QB being healthy now (Zach Collaros) the offensive line is under reconstruction, and will take time to jell and protect their man under center. Meanwhile, /Toronto is a senior laiden team with a vertran QB at the helm in Ricky Ray, a decent running game behind veteran Brandon Whittaker and and a above average WR with Green and Fuller. The Argos defense was horrible last season, but with Corey Chamblin now at the helm, things will improve. With that said, the Argos look very much like viable dogs in this spot.

CFL Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points like the Argos  - poor passing defense from last season - allowed a comp pct of 61% or worse. CFL Underdogs or pick like Toronto - poor passing defense from last season - allowed a comp pct of 61% or worse are also 73-33 ATS.

Over the last few seasons the pundits keep expecting a Saskatchewan turnaround, but it has not happened. Now many of the so called experts have abandoned the possibility of the Roughriders return to glory. I myself am still waiting and watching, on how it all plays out, but one thing I do believe is that this line on this game is now slightly bloated, as these same experts expect a miraculous Allouettes turnaround and a new era under new GM Reed & HC Chapdelaine and often injured QB Durant who is out looking for revenge for being released by the Roughriders last season. I'm betting that revenge angle is over played and Roughriders Chris Jones and company will be well prepared to face a QB that has struggled recently and that they know like the back of their hands.

The Red Blacks still have not won at home this season, and have yet to find offence, defence and special teams,” in front of their own fans, The REDBLACKS scored a huge overtime win with Trevor Harris coming off the bench in Edmonton earlier in the season.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have amazing stoppers and own the  CFL  most prolific defense and will once again go with a record-setting group as they did last season, even though they have lost 7 starters.  The replacement group coached by Orlando Steinhauer is even better than the last group. Not since the 1989 Edmonton Eskimos, who allowed just 302 points, have you seen such a defence that is so friggin hard  to score on. Meanwhile, Toronto will be much improved this season, but putting points up on the board against this kind of over powering opponent will be no easy feat. Yes, even if oftern ijured QB Ricky Ray is healthy. Add to that , a  Toronto D, that is less than top notch , I cannot see the Argos coming out of this one unscathed and eventually  looking for answers. I know this is the opening game at  BMO Field  , but getting points here is a value play with Hamilton who are now operating behind a  healthy QB Collaros and underrated pivot Masoli.

This Saskatchewan team is 0-8. But with just a few breaks, should have a much better record. Desperation is no longer an issue, as a calm has come over this team, after this nasty run!  Losing game in and game out despite of having enough talent, to get wins, can be frustrating. But like a grizzled war veteran that has been through hell and back this should make the Roughriders a better more cohesive team, and Im betting tonight they get the cover, vs a Ottawa side in a down mode after a emotional loss to inter provincial rival Toronto last time out. No team in this league wants the be the first to lose to the Riders, which will put added pressure on this young core of RedBlack players.

The BC Lions have won two games this season, both against winless Saskatchewan. Truth is despite of the accolades and praise the  media seem to throw around when describing the Lions, the team seems to continue to lack chemistry, and cohesiveness. Remember this is a team that in the off season made alot of changes both to  player personal and coaching staff, and it has shown itself on the field. Meanwhile, despite of a early season loss to Grey cup contender Toronto, the Eskimos are now rolling on all cylinders and will be hard to stop and are viable road favorites in this spot.

BC has failed to cover in 8 straight games going back to last season. 

Toronto has won two straight in this series both home and away.

After last weeks humiliating 32-2 loss. and the possible loss of their starting QB Glenn, the linesmakers over reacted and posted the Bombers as 5 point home dogs. Truth is Glenn only has a minor injury and will now probably play, and secondly after the last game being their third consecutive road game the Bombers were exhausted. Before that, the team played admirably, and were in every game. Meanwhile, BC with a completely new coaching staff and some new key cogs  on both defense and offense can not be counted on to be consistent, especially in the visitors role. Big time value in my opinion with the home side.

The Blue Bombers defensive will be ready to take advantage to injuries of both offensive tackles of the Stampeders in this matchup. Also Calgary did not look all that cohesive in their win over Toronto and looked a little more ragged than expected, which has me backing a Bombers team that could surprise and I feeel could certainly cover this number ?  The Stamps  on a short week and with a makeshift offensive line,  might not have the guns to cover this number, and I am betting on a hard fought affair.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are well rested after their bye week in Week 3. After losing a heart-breaker to Calgary, they crushed the Bombers in Week 2, the team tonights opponent the Als  just lost to.  TiCats are  2-1 coming off the bye week - their lone loss was last year without Zach Collaros and they nearly defeated Calgary, in Calgary and still covered the all important number. With Montreal dealing with a pile of injuries and an inexprienced QB at the helm of the offense, things may not go smoothly tonight vs a side with two weeks to prepare for this battle,

These teams have played some very competitive games in the recent past, with 9 of the L/12 getting decided by 10 or less points. Both teams look at themselves as Grey Cup Contenders, and Im betting, on both sides to be sky high and ready to compete.

Argos are 4-1 L/5 road games and are 8-2 ATS L/10 meetings including 4 straight covers here in Calgary.

Im very impressed by the Riders offesnsive line and believe that with the new rules, the Riders are going to be darn explosive and have run only one play so far for a loss of yards. I know that the Riders defense, looked bad last time out vs Toronto, but they were more solid than many might think, and that will become obvious tonight. BC in  my opinion looks disorganized, and will take time to adjust to a new coach- Tefford, who had some up down seasons, with the University of California. Personaly I do not like his coaching style. Taking the points is a viable wager here this evening. 

Sask Roughriders to cover 1 unit reg selection 

The Blue Bombers were a very surprising 30-26 underdog winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Roughriders in a rivalry game,that  had alot of big time energy attached to it and I can see a natural deflation situation occurring today vs a strong Hamilton Tigers Cats squad. Last time out for Hamilton, they were a 24-23 loser as they battled the Stampeders on the road in a heart breaking loss, and will be prepared for a bounce back effort this week vs a side that they have beaten 5 straight times.

Hamilton is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games on the road.Winnipeg is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games . Winnipeg is 1-5-1 ATS in its last 7 games at home.

Montreal Alouettes vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats

 The Ticats are a better team than many might think, and have been in every game they have played this year despite of the results associated  with a quirky record. With  now healthy quarterback Zach Collaros completing 27-of-38 passes for 317 yards and a TD in his first game since suffering a concussion July 4 they (the Ticats) are now  a team to be reckoned with. (Last weeks win vs Toronto also showed me how staunch the Tabbies defense can be allowing TO just 146 net yards in a 13-12 win in their new digs. Considering Montreal inept offense, and some key injuries on defense this past week, I feel the Als are at a disadvantage.

Calgary Stampeders vs Edmonton Eskimos

The Battle of Alberta will also be for top spot in the CFL’s standings.

The Calgary Stampeders host the Edmonton Eskimos on Monday (TSN, 4:30 p.m.) to kick off their annual Labour Day home-and-home series. The teams will meet again Sept. 6 at Commonwealth Stadium with much more on the line than just bragging rights.

There’s not much separating Calgary and Edmonton. They boast the CFL’s top offences (Calgary first at 27.9 points per game, Edmonton next at 26.8) and their defences are 1-2 in fewest points allowed (15.1 for Calgary, 17.8 for Edmonton).

The diference maker here today will come via home field, the intuitive fact that   that tells me Calgary has not turned on the high octane engines yet, and will be ready to let them roll today as they will prepared to send a message to the Eskies. 

Calgary is 16-5 SU versus Edmonton since 2008, having won the last nine head-to-head matchups. Im betting on one more and more importantly a win and cover.
