Stampeders +2 (-110) vs. Alouettes -- 1.5 units: This is a pretty solid matchup in favour of Calgary, but because it's a championship game in Montreal, it's really hard to lay a big bet. First, look at Montreal. They did not take apart a very weak Eskimos secondary, and their offence only managed 22 points (with 14 being on returns). Teams are figuring out how to get to Calvillo, and you best believe that underrated Stamps DL has been watching film. Avon Cobourne is in, but he's actually in a bad spot going up against a Calgary team that had to deal with a quicker RB last week. They should be ready for a less agile Cobourne. Calvillo will likely get some yardage, but he doesn't have a huge advantage in the Big O. These are two teams who play outdoors on turf, coming indoors for the finals. On defence, the Als have a huge disadvantage going against Ken Yon Rambo. I expect him to be the most valuable player, and the key to winning this game. Guys like Davis Sanchez can not matchup against Rambo. Turning to Calgary, they get a huge boost with Browner deciding to play. While Calgary will have problems with the halfback vs. slotback matchup, if they can get in Calvillo's face, they should be able to negate this Montreal advantage. On offence, if Burris can get the ball to Rambo, they should succeed. The best stat to look at is Montreal's record against the West this year, 3-5. Oh yah, and Montreal was 0-2 against Calgary this year. The West has been best all year long, and this should continue tonight. If this game was anywhere else, it would be Calgary for 3 or 4 units.
