Last year not so good, trying to get back to the winning ways of 2008. 1-5 unit scale.
Futures:
1) Blue Bombers UNDER 9.5 wins (-115) -- 4 units
2) Roughriders UNDER 11.5 wins (-115) -- 3 units
Week 1:
Saskatchewan vs Montreal OVER 53.5 (-105) -- 1.5 units: Both offences are just as good, if not better than last year. Calvillo only played 1 quarter in preseason, so you know he's rested, while the general consensus is that Durant can only get better. The reason this play is so appealing is that both defences are significantly worse. Riders lost two of the best DL in the league, a starting CB and a starting LB. That is a lot to give up. Even if the replacements turn out okay, they won't be able to gel immediately. Montreal lost Davis Sanchez, which is a huge loss when you consider he's a starting CB and Canadian. Also lost Williams in the middle of that DL. Montreal was left with finding a new starting CB and figuring out the Import/Non-Import ratio on the defence. Bottom line, both offences work, both defences have a lot of work to do. Kinda think Montreal take this game, but all the Sasky hype has kept me away from the side.
British Columbia vs. Edmonton OVER 53.5 (-110) -- 1.5 units: I don't care what prognosticators are saying, the BC defence is very vulnerable. It may become strong as time goes on, but I'm not going to bank on it in Week 1. Last game of the preseason, Ricky Ray torched the defence going 13/14. The Edmonton offence will move the ball, and their lack of an elite RB is no concern when BC can't stop anyone on the ground. BC continues to lose top defensive linemen. On the other side, Edmonton was never strong defensively. Casey Printers is a big play QB. He likes to throw it up and let his WRs do the work. Addition of Jamal Robertson is good enough to spell the loss of Mallett. New field turf in Edmonton means that both teams will be equally prepared for the surface.
Good luck to all this year.
