Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….


13) If you like the NFL and play fantasy or bet games or want to learn more about football, the Warren Sharp Football Preview is something you need to buy.


A softcover textbook basically, the Preview goes thru each NFL team, which explicit breakdowns on red zone targets and formations run and all kinds of fun technical football stuff.


12) For instance, when Buffalo Bills threw an incomplete pass on 1st-and-10 LY (in quarters 1-3), they ran ball on 2nd down 82% of the time, averaging 3.4 ypc. In the 18% of the time when they threw the ball, they averaged 5.5 yards/play.


It makes me laugh that so many NFL teams automatically run ball on 2nd-and-10, because 3rd-and-10 situations make most coaches want to puke.


Anyway, thats the kind of stuff that is in this book; educational football things.


11) My suggestion for the AAF and XFL, the two new spring football leagues that will sprout up the next two years, is to not have radio transmitters in the QB’s helmet. Let the QB call the plays- the game is way more exciting/fun when the players run the game.


Coaches have six days to prepare the players to play; game day should be the players’ day!!!


10) Lebron James’ son is 13 or 14 years old; he was supposed to play an AAU game at Liberty HS in suburban Las Vegas Wednesday night, but the game got cancelled when the tiny gym got really crowded after Lebron Sr showed up. “Security concerns” was the reason given.


This gym had three rows of bleachers; tournament organizers are going to have to make special arrangements for this kid’s games, if his very famous father is going to show up to watch.


9) When Tampa Bay traded one of its three starting pitchers (Nathan Eovaldi) to the Red Sox, the prospect they got back was Jalen Beeks, who is 5-5, 2.89 in 16 AAA starts this year, but was 0-1, 12.79 in two big league games, throwing 6.1 innings.


8) Was listening to a podcast this week where an author received 800 rejection letters for his writing— the guy kept all 800 rejection letters, to fuel himself to work harder and stick with his craft. The guy has now written around 20 books, including a NY Times bestseller.


7) White Sox 1B Jose Abreu went from June 26-July 25 without hitting a double, which is hard to believe. He had 27 doubles on June 25; now he has 28. He also homered twice Thursday.


6) Read something on the Interweb this week that CBS/Kelsey Grammer are talking about bringing the TV show Frasier back, which would be a good idea- the Cheers spinoff was a fun show.


5) Angels 12, White Sox 8— Angels’ starter Nick Tropeano allowed five hits Thursday, all home runs, becoming the 4th pitcher ever to do that, joining Denny McLain, Mat Latos and Steve Stone, who ironically was broadcasting this game on White Sox TV.


4) On February 12, 2016, Milwaukee traded Khris Davis to the A’s, for Bubba Derby and Jacob Nottingham. If Oakland makes the playoffs this year and they make Moneyball 2 (the sequel), this trade is a big part of why, absolute larceny.


Since coming to Oakland, Davis has hit 112 home runs, scored 235 runs, knocked in 289.


Nottingham is a catcher who is 4-20 in seven MLB games. He hit .259 in six minor league seasons. Derby is a pitcher who is 4-5, 4.95 at AAA Colorado Springs this season.


3) I’ve been an A’s fan since the mid-60’s; remember driving from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in 1986, thought it was so cool that I was listening to an A’s-Angels game on the radio, coming in from San Bernadino. Now, the A’s were dreadful that year, and they had a relief pitcher named Eric Plunk.


Plunk comes in, walks the first three hitters he faced, so of course, the 4th guy hits a grand slam. To this day, 32 years later, when a pitcher walks several guys then gives up a homer, I think to myself “….bleeping Eric Plunk”


Milwaukee rookie Freddy Peralta is on my fantasy team; Tuesday, he walks the first two guys in the 5th inning, then of course the next guy hits a 3-run homer. Eric bleepin’ Plunk, and Peralta damn sure will wind up being better than Plunk was.


2) From the NY Post: “……..Jets surprisingly fired senior director of team operations Clay Hampton last month. Hampton had worked for the team for 30 years and had been in charge of operations since 2006. His father, Bill, was the team’s equipment manager from 1964 through 2000.”


Former Jets coach Rex Ryan said this: “He was awesome. The six years I was there, he was better than great. Everything was done at such a first-class level. Not one time ever did we have an issue with any of the places we stayed, the airlines. It was awesome. To me, he was an amazing guy and someone I was really proud that I had the opportunity to work with him.”


1) Cubs 7, Diamondbacks 6– Chicago hit back/back homers in bottom of 9th to split this series. Tough loss for Arizona, which is in the middle of the playoff chase.

Toronto Argonauts (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS) at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS)

Point-Spread: Winnipeg -10 ½
Total: 53



Game Overview

Toronto has some major issues of its own at the quarterback position in the absence of an injured Ricky Ray. In last week’s loss to Winnipeg on the Argonauts’ home field, James Franklin completed 58.3 percent of his 36 passing attempts for 151 yards. He could not get his team into the end zone through the air against one interception. On the year, he has two touchdown throws and three picks.


The Blue Bombers are the only CFL team to play in the first six weeks of the season and they remain one of the toughest teams to figure out. They are 3-1 ATS when closing as favorites and 2-0 ATS in their only two games played at home. Matt Nichols played his best game of the season last week with 245 yards passing and two scores while completing 70.4 percent of his 27 passing attempts. Andrew Harris had a huge game running the ball against Toronto with 161 rushing yards on 27 carries.


Betting Trends


-- With last week’s win, Winnipeg is now a perfect 5-0 SU in its last five games against Toronto with a 4-1 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in all five games.

GAME RECAP


DEMSKI DOUBLES DOWN, BOMBERS ROLL OVER ARGOS



WINNIPEG – Nic Demski scored touchdowns through the air and on the ground as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers completed their back-to-back sweep of the Toronto Argonauts with a convincing 40 to 14 victory on Friday night. Winnipeg QB Matt Nichols threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns as the Bombers moved above .500 for the first time this season.


After a big win over the Argos in week 6 in Toronto, the Blue Bombers picked up right where they left off in this one. Justin Medlock opened the scoring on Winnipeg’s first drive, and the Bomber defence brought the pressure early, with Jovan Santos-Knox bringing James Franklin down on Toronto’s opening possession.


The Bombers continued rolling on their next possession, employing some trickery with a direct snap to slotback Darvin Adams, who found QB Chris Streveler open in the flats for his first career CFL catch. After an unnecessary roughness call in the Toronto secondary, Nichols unloaded his cannon, launching a picture-perfect strike into the hands of Nic Demski for the game’s first major.


Franklin and the Argos showed some life following the touchdown, stringing together a couple of first downs towards midfield. But a big completion to WR Rodney Smith which would have moved the Argos into the red zone went south when Bomber DB Brandon Alexander stripped the ball and regained possession for Winnipeg.


Nichols almost had his second touchdown toss of the first quarter on another deep ball, this one to Kenbrell Thompkins, but the receiver couldn’t outpace the Toronto secondary and was brought down just shy of the end zone. The Argos defence stood tall and held the Bombers to a field goal, but still trailed by 13.


The second quarter seemed to bring new life to the Argonauts offence. Franklin and the offence leaned on their run game on a seven-play drive, punctuated by 2018 Grey Cup MVP James Wilder Jr. punching his way through a pile of bodies on the goal line for Toronto’s first touchdown of the night.


Nichols showed his first signs of weakness on the evening as an errant throw was snapped up by Argos DB TJ Heath, as the visitors continued to turn the tables after a lopsided first quarter. A punt single from Ronnie Pfeffer cut the Bombers lead to eight.


The Bombers again would capitalize on a lack of discipline from the Argonauts on their next drive. After a 27-yard pass interference call was unsuccessfully appealed by Argos HC Marc Trestman, Winnipeg needed just one play before making them pay. Nic Demski took the ball on an end-around run, slicing his way through Argos defenders before leaping into the end zone for his second touchdown of the night.


The two quarterbacks finished the half with similar passing numbers, but wildly different results as the game started to feel like a replay of the previous matchup.


The second half started on a sour note for the Argos, as Franklin’s first pass attempt was picked off by DB Chris Randle.


Toronto looked to be snatching some momentum back after a two-and-out from the Bombers, embarking on another long drive deep into Bomber territory. Again their success came when they leaned on their running backs, with Wilder Jr. and Martese Jackson accounting for 55 of the 66 yards on the drive.


Feeling like his team needed more than three points, Trestman opted to go for it on third and one, but Franklin’s sneak fell just short and the Argonauts failed to cut into the Bombers lead.


The Blue Bombers would manage another field goal from Medlock as time expired in the third, extending their lead to 18 heading into the final frame.


The home team continued to pour it on in the fourth quarter, as the Argos defence had no answer for Nichols and the Bombers offence. Demski added to his yardage totals with a couple more catches and Nichols threw his second touchdown of the evening, this time to receiver Drew Wilotarsky.


Winnipeg’s special teams got in on the fun late in the fourth, as Ronnie Pfeffer’s punt was blocked and scooped up by Ian Wild, who had a clear path to the end zone.


James Franklin scored a consolation touchdown for the Argonauts with just a few minutes remaining in the fourth on a one-yard sneak, and Santos-Knox added his third sack of the game on the unsuccessful two-point conversion.


Next week the Argonauts return home to BMO Field to take on the East Division leading REDBLACKS, while the Bombers head into a bye week before squaring off against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in week 9..

************************


Saturday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……


13) Has to be brutal to be a manager/coach for a bad baseball team; you play 162 games in 182 days, and you lose the great majority of them. Not fun.


When you see the manager/pitching coach get tossed in the top of the first inning of a game, you know the frustration level has to be high. White Sox lost both last night, on a checked swing call.


Umpires who are respected don’t get barked at as much as other guys. The ump in this case, Fielden Culbreth gets barked at a lot.


12) When Mets’ TV analyst Keith Hernandez isn’t bored, he can be very good; Friday night he was complaining that in between at-bats, hitters go to clubhouse and look at their at-bats on video with the assistant hitting coach, before they bat again.


Hernandez is an old-school guy; he thinks players should watch the actual game, talk about the opposing pitcher with teammates, and leave film study for after the game.


11) Baseball stuff:
— Mets traded IF Asdrubel Cabrera to the Phillies for Franklyn Kilome, a pitcher who was 4-6, 4.24 in the AA Eastern League.
— Twins traded utility guy Eduardo Escobar to Arizona, for three Class A prospects. Escobar leads MLB with 37 doubles this season.
— Cardinals traded P Sam Tuivailala to the Mariners for P Seth Elledge.
— Late night trade; Brewers got Mike Moustakas from the Royals for Brett Phillips and a minor leaguer.


10) Aaron Judge broke his wrist when he was hit by a pitch Thursday night; he is expected to be out at least three weeks.


9) Movie admissions: I’ve never seen Jaws or Star Wars; just saw The Godfather for the first time earlier this month.


On the bright side, I’ve seen Rounders and Moneyball at least 50 times each.


8) Mets’ OF Brandon Nimmo looks like he’ll be a good player, but it bugs me when he sprints to first base after a walk. False hustle stuff like that has always seemed like BS to me.


7) Lamar Odom says he is going to play pro ball in China next season; hopefully he has his life back in order after a tumultuous couple of years.


6) Tampa Bay (19-23) has played the most one-run games in the majors this season.


5) There are seven new head coaches in the NFL this year; Seattle/Carolina are only two teams who have the same head coach as last year, but changed both coordinators.


4) Chargers’ CB Jason Verrett tore his achilles, is out for the year.


3) New Mexico State basketball coach Chris Jans makes $429,000 a year; he also gets an extra $5,000 every time he beats New Mexico or UTEP. Aggies were 4-0 vs those teams LY, but last year the bonus was “only” $2,500, so he banked an extra $10,000 for those wins.


2) Nick Saban signed a new deal with Alabama that extends his contract by one year through 2025. His base salary in 2018 will increase to $7.5M plus a bonus of $800,000. The deal will increase $400,000 annually through 2025.


All he has to do to make people happy is win the national title every year.


1) Cole Hamels’ home/road splits this year:
Home: 1-7, 6.41 in 10 starts
Road: 4-2, 2.93 in 10 starts.


There is no DH in the National League; he threw a no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 2015, so the Cubs figure his numbers should improve.

Ottawa RedBlacks (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS)

Point-Spread: Hamilton -4
Total: 54 ½


Game Overview


As long as Ottawa is not playing Calgary, it is a good pick to win its game SU. Last week against British Columbia, Trevor Harris found his form with 363 yards passing and one touchdown throw on 30 completions. He put the ball up 44 times. The top target in that win was Brad Sinopoli with 11 receptions for 171 yards and a score. William Powell ran for a team-high 50 yards on 14 carries while catching another seven balls for 61 yards through the air.


Jeremiah Masoli has played well enough at quarterback to send Johnny Football to greener pastures in Montreal, but his team still needs to play with better consistency. In last week’s loss to Saskatchewan as double-digit favorites at home, the Tiger-Cats let things slip away in the third quarter after getting outscored 21-3. Masoli ended that game with just 184 yards through the air and 24 more yards on the ground as part of the offense’s 79 total yards rushing.


Betting Trends


-- Ottawa has a SU 6-2 edge in the last eight meetings and it is 4-1 ATS in its last five road games against the Tiger-Cats. The total has gone OVER in five of the last seven meetings.

Calgary Stampeders (5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) at Saskatchewan Roughriders (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS)

Point-Spread: Calgary -7
Total: 47 ½


Game Overview


Calgary is off to its best start in the last three seasons after going to the CFL title game in each of those first two campaigns. Last week’s win over Montreal was more methodical and less flashy on offense. However, the bigger story this season with the Stampeders is a shutdown defense that has allowed a grand total of just 46 points in five games. It is going to be hard for any other team in the league to keep pace if this unit keeps playing at such a high level.


The Roughriders have grinded their way to a winning record in the West following a 1-2 start both SU and ATS. Their back-to-back victories against Hamilton helped atone for a bad loss at home to Montreal on June 30 as heavy 10 ½-point favorites. Brandon Bridge and David Watford combined for 178 yards passing in last week’s road win against the Tiger-Cats, but Saskatchewan racked up 218 yards on the ground.


Betting Trends


-- Calgary has won seven of the last eight meetings SU, including four of the last five games played in Saskatchewan. The total has stayed UNDER in the last five games between these West Division foes.

PREVIEW


RIDERS LOOK TO UNSEAT UNDEFEATED STAMPS



REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders will host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night in a statement game for both teams at Mosaic Stadium.


At 3-2, the Riders have looked as good as anybody — other than the historically-great Stamps — on the defensive side of the ball; as things stand, Chris Jones’s team will believe it has every chance of working its way into a home playoff game.


Tonight they will host a 5-0 Calgary team which hasn’t tipped its hand yet in 2018 in terms of a weakness. Dave Dickenson’s bunch is strong across the board, with the offence averaging 29 points per game and the defence allowing under 10.


But Regina is a difficult place to go into and win, and Saskatchewan is surging. Could Week 7 mark the official return of Riderville?


It’s business as usual for the Stampeders in Calgary.


The organization has reached a point where five straight regular-season wins, and a significant lead atop the West Division, is merely the status quo.


You can hear it in Coach Dickenson’s interviews, and it was clearly audible in Bo Levi Mitchell‘s voice as he lamented the offence’s performance in a comfortable 25-8 win over Montreal last week: The Stamps have one goal in mind.


Getting to the Grey Cup seems like a foregone conclusion; getting over the hump is what matters, and Calgary’s first West Division test comes Saturday night on the prairies.


“It’s the first of many West opponents,” receiver Eric Rogers told Stampeders.com. “It’s good to keep stacking those wins, even if it’s early.


“Communication (is key), recognizing their blitzes. They’re going to pay a lot of man, zone, and we have to find a way to move down the field and put some points on the board.”


Calgary left tackle Derek Dennis knows the intensity between the two ball clubs well: the CFL’s 2016 Most Outstanding Lineman has suited up on both sides of the rivalry.


“From being over on the other side, I know they don’t like us very much,” said Dennis. “It’s going to be a battle, locker room(s) full of athletes that love the game of football. It’s a big rivalry game.


“We’ve got to control the box. They have a great D-line, a lot of athleticism on their defence. A lot of guys that run 4.4s and 4.5s, and their measurables are out the gym — that’s Jones, that’s how he builds his defence.”


The Stamps will be without the services of Cordarro Law, who hits the one-game injured list this week; James Vaughters will take over his spot at D-end, with rookie Folarin Orimolade entering the lineup as depth at the same position.


Bo Levi Mitchell’s knee is getting better by all accounts, meaning the Calgary pivot should be a bit more mobile than he was last week against Montreal.


Then again, if the Stampeder defence continues the trend of allowing less than 10 points a night, Mitchell’s mobility may not matter.


On the flip side of the matchup, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have found their identity.


As if there was any doubt, the Riders cemented themselves as a smash-mouth, defence-wins-championships type of football team with hard-nosed wins over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in their last two outings.


Now, facing the best team in the CFL, Chris Jones and his staff understand the margin for error is negligible.


“You can’t get behind against this football team,” Jones told Riderville.com. “Last week, we got down 10 and we were fortunate to dig ourselves out of that hole, so that’s the kind of thing we’ve got to try and avoid.”


While Brandon Bridge may not be lighting up the stat sheet under centre, his efficient 165-yard performance was enough to secure a win against the Ticats last week; the 26-year-old Canadian will make his sixth career start on Saturday against Calgary.


“We know for sure coming off the break that turnover ratio’s a critical number for us,” said Jones when asked of his quarterback’s progression. “To be successful, we’ve got to be plus-one. We can’t come out of this game at minus-1 or minus-2, or we won’t win the football game.”


Just as Calgary’s stressing the importance of a fast start, so too are Bridge and the Riders.


“If we can come out swinging, get ahead a couple points and (have) them playing catchup, it’ll be good for us,” said Bridge. “(Being at home) is definitely huge. If we can get the crowd in it, being loud, and force some pre-snap penalties on their end, get in their head and have them hopefully play catchup…”


Bridge has now gone two games without throwing an interception after giving up three in his first two contests; the South Alabama product completed 80 per cent (28-for-35) of his passes in the two games against Hamilton, compared to 53 per cent (21-for-40) in his first two starts.


‘Air Canada’ will have to be at his best against a Calgary defence that’s put up video-game numbers thus far in 2018.


“They have guys who make a lot of plays, a great linebacker core with (Jameer) Thurman and (Alex) Singleton,” explained Bridge. “It’s a very strong defence with a lot of veterans that have been together for a long time. They know the scheme and what they want to do.


With a team that doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, very disciplined and well-coached, you can’t have too many mistakes because they will capitalize. Main goal is to secure the football and extend drives.”


Crunchin’ Numbers:


9.2 – Points allowed-per-game by the Calgary defence — the best mark in CFL history. The best full-season mark belongs to the 1964 BC Lions defence, which allowed just 10.5 per-game.


44 – Per cent of Riders offensive plays are runs, up from 32 per cent in 2017. This is in-line with league-wide trends, as teams have called run plays 38 per cent of the time in 2018 versus 31 per cent in 2017.


90.6 – League-leading QB rating for Stamps QB Bo Levi Mitchell, who also leads the league in touchdown passes (9) and TD-INT ratio (3:1).


359 – Punt-return yards for Saskatchewan’s Christion Jones, who is on pace for a team-record 1,292 for the season. That would rank him second in CFL history behind Gizmo Williams, who racked up 1,440 in 1991.



This is a good, old-fashioned western rivalry with two of the best fanbases in the CFL.


The Riders will put on a show at Mosaic — they always do — and you can bet the stadium will be loud.


But how will Brandon Bridge and the Saskatchewan offence fare against the league’s best defence?


Will Bo Levi and the Stampeder offence elevate their game after a self-labeled mediocre performance against Montreal?


Find out on Saturday night in Regina.


Kickoff is at 9:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on TSN, ESPN+.

GAME RECAP


REDBLACKS LEAN ON THE LEG OF WARD TO DEFEAT TICATS



HAMILTON – Lewis Ward and his leg was all the Ottawa REDBLACKS needed to be able to pull out a victory against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Saturday afternoon at Tim Hortons Field.


The REDBLACKS came out on the winning end with a 21-15 victory in a game that saw no touchdowns scored until two minutes remained in the fourth quarter.


The hero for the REDBLACKS in his team’s victory, Ward opened up the scoring on the REDBLACKS first drive on offence, kicking a 42-yard field goal to get the early jump on the Ticats.


The former Ottawa U product would be the source of all of the REDBLACKS points for the day, kicking a perfect game on seven field goal attempts, his longest coming from 47 yards out.


Penalties were an issue for either side but certainly didn’t affect the REDBLACKS more than it did for June Jones and the Ticats, as his team committed 11 penalties for a total of 157 yards.


Trevor Harris completed 23 of 35 pass attempts while passing for 228 yards in the REDBLACKS fourth win of the season.


His top target for the game, and for the past few weeks, Brad Sinopoli caught nine passed for 82 yards.


Hamilton only managed to score a single point off of a missed field goal by Lirim Hajrullahu. The Ticats’ kicker missed a pair of field goals in the opening half before he nailed a 49-yarder late in the second quarter.


Jeremiah Masoli did manage to throw for 158 yards in the opening half of play while completing 14 of his 20 pass attempts, but the REDBLACKS defence managed to seize any forward progress when it came to the red zone including putting ample amount of pressure on Masoli, giving up five sacks to the REDBLACKS.


Masoli finished the game passing for 352 yards, and having two 100-yard receivers in Brandon Banks (113) and Jalen Saunders (154).


Despite accurate completion percentages from both team’s quarterbacks, neither team had much success in the early going when it came to the ground game. The REDBLACKS only managed to average a single yard on the ground, while the Ticats averaged slightly more than three yards per carry.


With both teams struggling offensively, the play with the largest gain came at the end of the first half on a hail mary attempt by Harris, completing the pass as time expired but RJ Harris fell two yards short of the goal-line.


The third quarter got underway with Ward kicking his third field goal of the day, this time from 42 yards out and extending Ottawa’s lead 9-5.


Through three quarters of play, both offences continued to find early success in their drives but struggled to find ways to cap off a series with a touchdown.


Harris connected with William Powell for a 50-yard pass that would eventually set up yet another field goal by Ward for the REDBLACKS, his fourth of the day.


Hajrullahu answered back with a field goal of his own to narrow the lead to the equivalent of a touchdown with Ottawa ahead 15-8.


The first and last touchdown scored came late in the fourth quarter when Masoli connected to Jalen Saunders on a 29-yard scoring play to boost the moral on the Ticats sideline for the final few minutes of the game with them only trailing by three.


Hamilton lined up for an onside kick but unfortunately for them, the sure-handed Brad Sinopoli snagged the kick before getting immediately tackled by the Ticats cover-team.


Ward notched his seventh field goal, remaining perfect, on the ensuing drive for the REDBLACKS, extending their lead to 21-15.


Time ticked away for the Ticats despite a late big gain from Jalen Saunders, putting the Ticats in position to have a walk-off winning drive, however, the Ottawa defence swarmed around Masoli, sacking the Hamilton quarterback as time expired.


Next up for the REDBLACKS is a meeting in Toronto to kick off Week 8 of the CFL schedule as they hope to further solidify their rank as the top team in the East against the Argonauts. As for the Ticats, they will travel to Montreal to take on the struggling Alouettes with the hope of getting back in the win column.

GAME RECAP


STAMPS HOLD OFF RIDERS’ COMEBACK TO STAY UNDEFEATED



REGINA — The Calgary Stampeders held off the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ comeback attempt and improved their record to 6-o with a 34-22 road victory on Saturday night.


Bo Levi Mitchell threw for three touchdowns and Terry Williams added a key 78-yard punt return touchdown as the team continued their undefeated start.


Charleston Hughes stepped up against his former team with two sacks and defensive end Tobi Antigha added a 52-yard pick-six for Saskatchewan.


Kicker Brett Lauther did his part by adding five field goals for the Riders, while Brandon Bridge completed 66% of his passes for 147 yards.


Calgary’s defence got things started when defensive lineman Ja’Gared Davis stripped the ball from Marcus Thigpen as the running back attempted to convert an early third down. Linebacker Jameer Thurman recovered the fumble and the Stamps’ offence wasted zero time capitalizing on the turnover.


Mitchell dropped back with solid protection on the very next play and threw a perfect strike to Marken Michel for a 41-yard touchdown. The touchdown pass was Mitchell’s 14th completion of over 30 yards so far this season.


The Stamps added to their score on the next drive when Rene Paredes knocked through a 52-yard field goal, giving Calgary an early 10-0 lead.


Calgary also came out strong on special teams in the opening quarter. Terry Williams showcased his outstanding speed and returned a punt for a 78-yard touchdown to give the Stamps an early 17-0 lead. The score was Williams’ second punt return touchdown of the season.


The Stamps’ defence continued to shine on the next drive when defensive lineman Micah Johnson knocked the ball loose from Jerome Messam. Ja’Gared Davis recovered the fumble to set Calgary’s offence up with solid field position.


Mitchell proceeded to put together another successful drive, completing passes to Romar Morris and Kamar Jorden before finding Eric Rogers for a 15-yard touchdown. The score was Rogers’ fifth of the season, and Paredes kicked the extra point to put Calgary up 24-0.


The Riders started to get things rolling in the second quarter when a 17-yard reception from Caleb Holley put kicker Brett Lauther in position to make a 35-yard field goal.


Momentum continued to swing in Saskatchewan’s direction later in the quarter when defensive end Tobi Antigha dropped back into coverage and picked off a Mitchell pass. Antigha displayed tremendous athleticism and brought the interception all the way back for a 52-yard touchdown. Lauther added the extra point to make it 24-10.


Lauther came up big before the end of the half when he knocked through a 56-yard field goal, cutting Calgary’s lead down to 11 points. The long field goal gave the Riders a major spark heading into the second half.


Saskatchewan got the ball to open the third quarter, and Lauther kicked a 48-yard field goal to make it 16 straight points for the Riders.


Charleston Hughes stepped up against his former team on the next drive when he notched his eighth sack of the season and second of the game. Saskatchewan’s momentum swing continued in the third quarter when Chad Geter stripped the ball from Williams on a punt return. Ed Gainey recovered the fumble for the Riders, and Lauther cut into Calgary’s lead once again with a 32-yard field goal that made it 24-19.


Calgary got things back on track near the end of the third quarter when Mitchell connected with receiver DaVaris Daniels for a 15-yard touchdown. The scoring play came after a key penalty against the Riders’ secondary, and it re-established a two-score lead for the Stamps.


The Riders responded and Lauther made his fifth field goal of the night to make the score 31-22 in the fourth quarter.


Paredes closed out the game for Calgary on the ensuing drive with a 35-yard field goal, securing the 34-22 victory.


Week 8 action will see the Riders face the Edmonton Eskimos on the road next Thursday, while the The Stamps will host the BC Lions on Saturday night.

*******************************




Sunday’s List of 13: Random thoughts on a summer night


13) Saturday was the great Vida Blue’s 69th birthday; damn, typing that made me feel old.


Blue was Dwight Gooden before Dwight Gooden; he was a lefty wunderkind who led the Oakland A’s to the 1971 AL West title, then struggled thru a lengthy contract squabble in ’72, but he saved the deciding game of the ’72 ALCS as the A’s won the first of three consecutive World Series.


I was 11 years old when he became the answer to a great trivia question, last switch-hitter to win MVP of the American League (AL pitchers still hit in ’71).


Vida Blue wound up with a career record of 209-161- he was underrated. Happy birthday!!!


12) How does Allen Trammell get into the Hall of Fame but not Lou Whitaker?


11) According to Baseball Prospectus, when teams have the bases loaded with no one out, they score at least one run 85% of the time.


10) Angels 11, Mariners 4— Francisco Arcia, a 28-year old rookie catcher, has 10 RBI in his first two major league games- thats an all-time record.


9) Nick Saban makes $7.5M a year coaching Alabama’s football team; Alabama governor Kay Ivey makes $119,500 a year running the state.


8) Kansas City 10, New York 2— This game was bet down late to NY -$450; depending on who you ask, this game or Astros (Verlander) against Detroit on July 15th was the highest betting line so far this season.


Please, if you don’t learn anything else from reading this space, never, ever lay more than -$200 on a regular season baseball game.


7) Coming into this weekend, the 7th inning ERA for the Colorado Rockies’ bullpen this season was 7.93, which explains why they traded for reliever Seunghwan Oh.


6) From the AP: Baker Mayfield is paying for the Browns’ QB’s to hang out in an RV at training camp.


As part of his initiation into the NFL, the #1 overall draft pick is funding a camper that the Browns QBs go to between practice sessions to relax. The recreational vehicle is parked just outside the training facility.


Backup QB Drew Stanton brought the idea of the camper from his time with the Detroit Lions, and says Mayfield initially thought he was kidding. Stanton says “it’s just someplace that you can go. You can get out of these four walls that start to close in on you after a period of time.”


5) In the first seven games after Manny Machado was traded, Orioles’ 2B Jonathon Schoop was 11-for-27 (.407) with six HR’s, 11 RBI.


4) Mason Williams is a rookie OF with the Reds; his grandfather is Walt (No Neck) Williams, who played for the White Sox a long time ago and actually had no neck. Good ballplayer; he hit .270 in ten major league seasons.


3) Last three years, when the home team is favored in Arizona Cardinal games, the Redbirds are 10-18 vs spread; 7-11 as a home favorite, 3-7 as a road underdog.


2) Over the last decade, Atlanta Falcons are 12-4 vs spread as a home underdog.


1) Last four years, Buffalo Bills are a combined 33-31; that surprised me a little, but they were +28 in turnovers in those games— you go +28 in turnovers, you should be over .500.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 7
July 29, 2018



League Betting Notes

-- Favorites went 3-1 SU in Week 7


-- Favorites went 3-1 ATS in Week 7


-- Road teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 7


-- Road teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 7


-- The 'Over' went 3-1 in Week 7


Analysis


Calgary (6-0) continues to vanquish all opponents, and they're working on a new cover streak, too. After failing to cover a huge number at home last week, the Stampeders hit the road for Saskatchewan (3-3) and came away with a high-scoring 34-22 victory against the Roughriders. It was surprising since the Riders posted a season-high 22 points against the Stamps' D, ending a 5-0 'under' run for Calgary.


The Riders had their modest two-game cover streak come to an end, and the 'over' result was their first since allowing 40 in Week 2.


The 'other' team in the Province of Alberta is playing some pretty good football, too. Edmonton (4-2) has won in consecutive games for the first time this season, as the bye week seemed to do them some good. They hung a season-high 44 points on Montreal (1-5), as they also improved to 4-2 on over totals, too. It was a surprising offensive display considering the Esks had totaled 33 points in their two previous games in a home-and-home with Toronto (1-5).


Speaking of the Argos, they continue to share the basement with the Alouettes, and it has everything to do with their shoddy defense. Winnipeg (4-3) finished off the home-and-home sweep of the Argos, as Toronto allowed 39.0 points per game (PPG) in the two contests. As a result, the 'over' has hit in two straight for the Argos after the 'under' was 4-0 through their first four outings.


The Blue Bombers have hit the 30-point mark in five of their seven games, and the 'over' is 5-0 when they score 30 or more. Their improvement on defense has been overlooked lately, as they're allowing a respectable 18.3 PPG across the past four contests.


Ottawa (4-2) continues to be the class of the East, topping Hamilton (2-4) by a 21-15 score. They have still yet to cover in consecutive games, so remember that for Thursday's trip to Toronto. The 'under' has connected in four of the past five for the RedBlacks.


After opening the season 2-1 SU/ATS, the Ti-Cats are in a tailspin. They have posted a 0-3 SU/ATS mark across the past three weekends, and will look to get well in Montreal on Friday. The 'under' is 3-0-1 for the Hammer over the past four, and 4-1-1 through six games overall.


Team Betting Notes and A Look Ahead


-- The RedBlacks head to Toronto with a 4-1 ATS mark across their past five against losing teams, 7-2 ATS in the past nine against East teams and 22-6 ATS over their past 28 road outings. On the flip side, the Argos are 7-16 ATS in their past 23 following a non-cover, 6-18 ATS over the past 24 following a straight-up loss and 2-12 ATS in their past 14 in the month of August.


-- The under is 9-1 in the past 10 for Ottawa against Eastern teams, while going 9-2 in their past 11 on the road. The under is also 6-2 in Ottawa's past eight against a losing team. The under is 4-0 in Toronto's past four against winning teams, 7-2-2 in the past 11 against the East and 6-2 in their past eight overall. Oh, and the under is a perfect 5-0 in the past five meetings overall.


-- The Riders and Esks square off in Northern Alberta. The Roughriders are 1-4 ATS in their past five against West opponents, while the Esks are 6-1 ATS in their past seven against Western clubs. However, the Eskimos are also just 7-15 ATS in their past 22 home games.


-- Saskatchewan is 4-1 ATS in the past five meetings, while the 'over' is 7-3 in the past 10 meetings in Edmonton.


-- Hamilton looks to keep Montreal at arm's length in the standings when they travel to Quebec on Friday. The Tiger-Cats are 7-2 ATS in the past nine on the road, and 5-2 ATS in the past seven against teams with a losing overall record. They're also 5-2 ATS across the past seven against the East. Hamilton is 17-8 ATS in their past 25 trips to Montreal, too.


-- Montreal has had issues against the number, going just 5-16 ATS in the past 21 overall, and 0-7 ATS in the past seven against Eastern foes. They're also just 6-20 ATS in the past 26 at home.


-- The under might be the play in Hamilton-Montreal. The under is 5-2 in the past seven for the Ti-Cats, while going 6-1 in the past seven for the Alouettes. The under is also 37-14-1 in the past 52 for Montreal against the East, including 6-2 in the past eight against the Cats. The under is also 8-3 in the past 11 meetings in Montreal.


-- BC Lions (2-3) heads to Calgary rather rested after a bye week. They hope that their road woes against the number after in the rear-view mirrors. BC is 2-7 ATS in the past nine road games, and 3-11-1 ATS in the past 15 against Western clubs. They're also just 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven against teams with a winning overall mark.


-- The Stamps are 20-9 ATS in their past 29 at home, and 21-5-1 ATS in the past 27 in the month of August. More importantly, Calgary is 3-0-1 ATS in the past four vs. BC, and 5-1 ATS in their past six at home against the Lions.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings…….


13) Monday night was a weird baseball night; Brewers-Dodgers had a 23-minute power outage in Chavez Ravine, while in Phoenix, a haboob (dust storm) blew thru the desert and caused the lights to go out at Chase Field for a while at the Rangers-Diamondbacks game.


I had to look up this “haboob” thing; it is like a weather front going thru, except it is in a hot, dry area and it has a ton of wind/dust. You learn something every day.


12) During the delay at Dodger Stadium, Cowboys’ coach Jason Garrett was sitting with Tommy Lasorda- looked like they were talking about how different pitches are gripped. Garrett was holding a baseball while they talked.


11) NBA is the first major American sports league to sign an official betting sponsor.


Commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday that the league has a deal with MGM that will give the gaming company rights to use league highlights, names, logos and its direct data feed, as well as exclusively market itself as the official gaming partner of the NBA and WNBA.


People bet on the WNBA? Wow. If I could accurately predict how women will react to certain situations, I wouldn’t spend 80% of my life writing on index cards. (Its a joke!!!!)


10) Guy named Charles Robinson covers the NFL for Yahoo; he posted this on Twitter Monday:


“I’ve been very skeptical of Sean McVay supposedly having a photographic memory. When we were talking this week, he recalled our conversation from one year ago and exactly where we were standing when we had it. I’m not memorable. It was weird.”


The Rams’ head coach has a very good memory.


9) News Item of the Week: “Police are looking for a trio of thieves who stole a shark from the San Antonio Aquarium over the weekend by stuffing it into a stroller.”


Um, why would you steal a shark?


8) Cubs’ P Kyle Hendricks has allowed 10 first inning home runs this season; no one else has allowed more than eight.


7) Because of the Seattle Mariners’ trades this weekend/Monday, their AAA farm team in Tacoma had only nine position players available for Monday night’s game, and three of those were catchers. Managing in the minor leagues can be challenging.


6) Monday night in Boston, Aaron Nola and David Price both went 8 innings, only the 4th major league game this season (27th in last 3 years) where both starters went 8+ innings.


By way of contrast, in 1988, there were 169 such games.


5) Baseball doings- there were lot of trades Tuesday:
— Red Sox put Chris Sale (shoulder) on the DL
— JA Happ has hand, foot, mouth disease, the same viral infection Noah Syndergaard has.
— Cincinnati Reds traded Adam Duvall to Braves for P’s Lucas Sims, Matt Wisler and OF Preston Tucker.
— Red Sox traded for 2B Ian Kinsler, giving up their #19 and #23 prospects.
— Pirates acquired reliever Keone Kela from Texas in exchange for two players to be named later.
— Pirates acquired Chris Archer for prospects OF Meadows/P Glasnow.
— Toronto 2B Lourdes Gurriel is out 2-to-6 weeks. He has a high ankle sprain and a Grade 1 left knee sprain.


4) Detroit Tigers are only team that hasn’t made a trade this season.


3) Cubs’ 1B Anthony Rizzo got on base 34 times in his first 15 games batting leadoff.


2) Nationals 25, Mets 4— Washington led 10-0 in the 2nd inning. Wilmer Flores left early with dehydration and dizziness, thats how long he was out on the field.


1) NFL exhibition games actually start tonight; Ravens-Bears from Canton. Chicago is only team that hasn’t signed its first round draft pick (LB Roquan Smith).

CFL Betting Notes - Week 8
David Schwab


Week 7 Betting Recap


The favorites went 3-1 both straight-up and against the spread in Week 7 of the CFL regular season starting with Edmonton’s 44-23 romp over Montreal last Thursday night as a 10-point road favorite. In Friday’s action, Winnipeg hammered Toronto 40-14 as a 10-point favorite at home.


Saturday’s doubleheader of games started with Ottawa getting past Hamilton 21-15 as a six-point road underdog to pull off the lone upset of the weekend. Later that night, Calgary remained perfect on the year with a 34-22 victory against Saskatchewan to easily cover as a 7 ½-point favorite on the road.


Thursday, Aug. 2


Ottawa RedBlacks (4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) at Toronto Argonauts (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS)

Point-spread: Ottawa -3 ½
Total: 48 ½


Game Overview


Ottawa has been able to open a two-game lead in the East as the only team in the division with a winning record. Trevor Harris has been throwing the ball with better consistency after a few up and down performances earlier in the season. He is fourth in the CFL in passing yards (1,506) through six starts and he has tossed six touchdowns against four interceptions. William Powell adds the balance on offense in the running game with 469 yards rushing and two scores on 92 carries.


The Grey Cup hangover continues for the Argonauts in the absence of Ricky Ray at quarterback. In his place, James Franklin has completed 65.2 percent of his 141 passing attempts for 967 yards. The bigger concern is his six interceptions against just a pair of touchdown throws. In last week’s lopsided loss to Winnipeg, the lone bright spot was James Wilder Jr. running the ball with 81 yards and a score on 15 rushing attempts.


Betting Trends


-- Toronto has gone 7-2 SU in its last nine games against Ottawa and it has won nine of the last 10 meetings at home. The total has stayed UNDER in the last five matchups in this East Division clash.


Saskatchewan Roughriders (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -9
Total: 53


Game Overview


It is hard to know which direction Saskatchewan heads in from here. The Roughriders still have a very perplexing loss at home to Montreal on the early 2018 resume to go with a solid 11-point victory against Hamilton as a 10-point underdog on the road. The recent loss to Calgary was anticipated to add quite a bit of weight to this week’s game against the second-best team in the West Division. You could see a heavy dose of the running game this week to compensate for Brandon Bridge’s play at quarterback.


This is also a very important game for the Eskimos to have any chance of keeping Calgary in sight in the West Division title race. There is no doubt that Edmonton can move the ball quickly downfield and put points on the board with Mike Reilly under center. He threw for 415 yards and four touchdowns against Montreal last Thursday and he remains at the top of the list for the season with 2,063 yards passing and 13 touchdown throws. The one issue with the Eskimos through their first six games has been a defense that has allowed an average of 24.7 points per game.


Betting Trends


-- Saskatchewan has a 4-1 edge ATS in the last five meetings, but Edmonton has won six of the last eight meetings SU. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 games played in Edmonton.


Friday, Aug. 3


Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS) at Montreal Alouettes (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -6
Total: 54


Game Overview


It looks like the Tiger-Cats have been a bit overrated by the oddsmakers with a trio of SU losses closing as favorites in all three contests. They will have to cover a big number on the road this week to try and turn things around. Jeremiah Masoli continues to throw the ball well with a 67.0 percent completion rate on his 215 passing attempts. However, his 1,914 passing yards as the second-highest total in the CFL have only resulted in five touchdown passes against six interceptions.


There is a good chance that Johnny Manziel does see some playing time in this game against his former team. That may be a motivating factor for him, but he is still stuck on an offense that has scored a grand total of 92 points in six games. On the other side of the ball, the Alouettes have allowed a combined total of 192 points in that same time span. Tyrell Sutton has been the team’s top rusher with 262 yards and one score on 58 carries.


Betting Trends


-- Hamilton is 5-1 SU in its last six games against Montreal with a 4-2 edge ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in six of the last eight games between these two East Division rivals.


Saturday. Aug. 4


British Columbia Lions (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS)

Point-Spread: Calgary -9
Total: 52


Game Overview


BC is coming off a bye after giving Ottawa a run for its money in a four-point loss on July 20 as a seven-point road underdog. Before that, the Lions split a home-and-home series against Winnipeg SU and ATS. The switch to Travis Lulay from Jonathon Jennings at quarterback appears to have provided a spark for an offense that failed to score more than 22 points in each of its first four games.


Calgary is in the driver seat in the West as clearly the best team in the CFL. The Stampeders have won each of their first six games by a double-digit margin of victory behind Bo Levi Mitchel throwing the ball all over the field and a stingy defense that has given up an average of 11.3 PPG. Mitchell is third in the league in passing yards (1,517) and he is second on the list in touchdown throws with 12.


Betting Trends


-- Calgary is a perfect 5-0 SU in its last five home games against the Lions and it has gone 7-3 SU in its last 10 home games against BC. The total has stayed UNDER in six of the last eight meetings in this West Division tilt.
