Thanks Max,
I know I keep on saying I am staying away from preseason but I had to jump on these plays:
MIA 1st qrt +0.5 -155
TB moneyline (Shaun King will have a field day against Texans)
Cle moneyline (I like Couch to play BIG in front of home crowd)
Lets see how I do. I really need Tampa to win cause I have them large with my teaser also my moneyline play.
For those who watch tennis look out for my long shots looking good so far:
Paradorn 75-1
Rainer 50-1
Since posting @ Rx 22-13 (.629%)

Well MIA went up 7-0 in the 1st quarter that won with ease 23-13, Tampa Bay won by the 1st score cause the Texans are really garbage 24-13 and Cleveland prevails over the Vickless Falcons 25-13. Going 3-0 is a good start now I need Montreal -2 to close off my huge teaser tomorrow. I will have another play for the Montreal game before gametime and I will have a halftime.

Hey BGO,
I actually bought out my bet at halftime I took Ottawa +7 at half but I was not by my computer at the time so I did not post it so I will post a lost(25-14). Montreal had 5 or 6 turnovers and still came within 6 points. Ottawa is a scrappy team at home and now Toronto has even more motivation to win in Hamilton now. BGO feel free to share your picks in here and make sure you give the rationale behind your picks too.

I bet my lunch money on that Montreal game. I'll think of you when I go without lunch today. LOL
Things like that happen. There are no locks. No problem. I'm still looking forward to the game on Monday. Thanks for sharing.
As far as picks go, you can see in the baseball forum on this board that I always give reasons behind every pick, although it may be brief at times. I brought up concern about the Ottawa game (see earlier post in this thread) so I hope you can see I'm not around just to pick up some easy picks.
Good luck.

Hey BGO,
Yes you had the right thought on the game and I intially wanted to stay away from the game but took it because it was the first CFL game that I could tease with Tampa. I had to buy it back when I seen how good Ottawa was playing. I actually took Ohio State -2.5 today teased with Sask +5.5 tomorrow. I got one leg, wish me luck on my other leg tomorrow. I really love Argos now more with the playoff race in the mix with the Ottawa win. I have the Argo's -4 as my next pick. I will check up your Baseball picks and ride some with my lunch money too!! BGO I am not sure what side you are on with Edmonton and Calgary, but I got a great play that I already posted. Calgary +3.5 1st quarter. Crandell will only be better this around in his second game back and his team will rally behind him and not drop a million balls like they did against Winnipeg. Calgary's D will play well and if Crandell scores an early TD your bet is 95%. If Calgary gets the ball first, your bet is about 65%. The real odds on the 1st quarter should be +2 or +2.5 at the most. Tons of value and I cannot turn this one down.

Proplaye:
Careful about playing my baseball picks. I'm in a bit of a slump lately.
Here's my pick for 9-1-03-
Toronto (4-6-0):
Avg. points scored- 28
Avg. points against- 27
Avg. points scored (home)- 27
Avg. points against (home)- 17
Avg. points scored (away)- 28
Avg. points against (away)- 37
Avg. net yards for- 309
Avg. net yards against- 405
Hamilton (0-10-0):
Avg. points scored- 16
Avg. points against- 36
Avg. points scored (home)- 16
Avg. points against (home)- 29
Avg. points scored (away)- 15
Avg. points against (away)- 46
Avg. net yards for- 243
Avg. net yards against- 403
Summary-
Toronto is riding a 3-game losing streak. I am betting that is why the spread is so low here at –5. Toronto will want to beat up on Hammy to get their program some well-needed respect.
Hamilton has only come within 6 points of any team when they lost to Calgary 17-11 in July.
Toronto won the earlier game this year when they blew away the Cats 49-8 in Toronto. The game is at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton this time.
I’m taking Toronto at –5 points at -104 for 1 unit due to the fact that Hamilton has not been able to come within 5 points to any team this season and due to the fact that they’ve averaged losing by 20 points. Even if Hamilton were to win this game they are a team to be watched for the rest of the season due to their poor record.

Good call on the Winnipeg/Sask game. Winnipeg won that one out-right.
I'm having a tough time pulling the trigger on the Calgary game. Even though the two teams played it close in Edmonton earlier this year Calgary hasn't been doing well lately. Perhaps the first-quarter bet is the way to go but I can't get down on that one.
I'm hoping we win with the Toronto/Hamilton game.

Hey BGO,
Toronto played the worst half they could possibly play and they are up 2.... Go figure, they are playing Hamilton. I think we might have a battle here with the score 13-11 for Toronto. I know Toronto is going to come out throwing the ball because they have no success running the ball and they have success throwing when they decide to. Here is my halftime play:
TOR/HAM OVER 24
I see a Toronto barage 2nd half and they get ball 1st. I also would take the over 0.5 INT's for Danny Mac if they had one. 3 passes that should have been picked. Toronto will win this one, they had 2 turnovers and crappy play calling. Look for a different Toronto team to come out the 2nd half.
