What is the current score the CFL live play site isn't upating did the Renegades make a TD off 1st and 4 in 3rd quarter? Has the over been hit yet? 53 1/2?

Over is in... Calgary needs another score late in the game, but it's probably not happening for the 2nd half cover.

Regardless, I've officially taken my nosedive on the season... Stamps come a point short on the 2nd half.

WOW. How the hell did I win that under? 48 on the board with 25 minutes to play. I'll take it!

This is a VERY large list of injuries for a team that is -9.5 and rising now...

Marcus Adams (DL) replaces Nate Davis (DL) who is out with a back injury.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Jamal Richardson (WR) replaces Karsten Bailey (WR) who is sidelined with a foot injury.<o:p></o:p>

Lamar Lee (DB) is activated to add depth now that Jackie Mitchell (LB) is out with a groin injury.<o:p></o:p>

Matt O’Meara (OL) is activated to add depth behind Rob Lazeo who will be starting in place of injured centre Jeremy O’Day, out with a knee ligament tear.


Add that to Dominguez, and I don't know who the hell is catching the ball tonight for the Riders.... I'm sold on this play on Hamilton, but it's been awhile since I've cracked into the win column....

Yeah that was such an disappointing ending needing the over and they cannot pull a field goal or TD with almost 2 quarters left wtf? LOL

Okay Scott, let's figure this one out BEFORE the 2nd half starts...

Hamilton won the toss and took the ball. The Riders took the wind in the 2nd quarter... This means that the Riders will have the wind in both the 2nd and 3rd quarter, with Hamilton possibly in a real nice spot having the wind in the 4th quarter.

You think Saskatchewan would take let Hamilton get the ball to start both the first and second half to get the wind in the 4th quarter?

I highly doubt it... The wind isn't worth a turnover...

Lol... Rough Riders kicker is 2-2 on FGs... and the team is 0-1 on converts... 12-8 Riders in the 2nd quarter. Don't have a good feeling about this one, as Danny Mac has had SEVERAL chances to put some points on the board, and they've only managed a single and a TD when the drive started at like the Sask. 20 following a Green fumble...

Riders won the toss and defered in the 1st half... So Hamilton will be getting the ball, and Saskatchewan the wind in the 4th quarter. Awkward. Hamilton will start with the ball in both halves I'd assume.

Sorry about the previous response- I had based it off your comment that Hamilton won the toss and did not defer to the second half. The actual outcome was that Hamilton won the toss and deferred to the second half. Saskatchewan has the wind in the second and third quarters; Hamilton has the wind in the first and fourth quarters.

Jeff-- I didn't know that Saskatchewan defered in the first half either. But typically, here's how it's worked this year (off of two examples, one of which was in Edmonton, the other was in a game I think in Calgary... but I don't remember for certain).

Team A wins the toss and takes the ball. Team B takes the wind in the 2nd quarter. Team B then takes the ball in the 3rd quarter and Team A takes the wind in the 4th quarter... That being said Team A gets the wind in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and Team B gets the wind in the 1st and 4th quarters.

TigerCats in very good shape to cover on this one, though I would have felt better if the Riders let those three points stay on the board instead of gambling on 3rd and short and possibly getting a TD here.

Hamilton won the toss and deferred to the second half. (I took your original comment to mean that Hamilton elected to make the first choice in the first half. Ordinarily, that wouldn't happen, except if you expected the weather to change during the game.)

Sorry for the confusion on this.

I don't trust the Ticats to cover on this. Danny McManus hasn't really moved the ball well, except for the TD drive in the first quarter (short field off a turnover) and on the FG drive in the third quarter. Although Saskatchewan chewed up 7 minutes on their TD drive in the third quarter, it was good in that it established the run game for going into the wind the fourth quarter.
