Hey all... I've got a bit of a strong lean on Calgary this week. This team just hasn't found a way to get it done all season, but I think that the Rough Riders aren't quite as good as their mark suggests at this point, especially since they are riding on a lot of injuries at the current moment. Calgary is better than this Hamilton team, especially in Calgary. +4.5 seems awfully generous on this game.
Winnepeg is gonna get a lot of hype on the 11 points offered to Montreal, but the Alouettes have had their share of scares this season and know that this is one that can't let stay very close for very long. I look for this line to drop to the 10 range, where I will gladly take the Alouettes to put up more points than the Eskimos did last week. Huge wake up call for both teams puts the Bombers in a bad spot against an Alouette team who still remembers that game at Ottawa for certain.
Edmonton -5.5... Again, people all over Ottawa. Yes, this team pulled the massive upset against the Alou's a few weeks back and looked real good this week against Calgary, but does anyone think this team is really contending for the Grey Cup this year? I'd think not. Ricky Ray had his excuse me game for awhile against Winnepeg, and I think that the Eskimos are coming out steaming and hungry to get one over with quickly, especially with Ottawa on a short week of preparation and without a bunch of offensive linemen. I'll lay the 5.5 in this one I believe.
Really don't know what to think of this BC/Hamilton game. There's no doubt in my mind that Hamilton is better than their record suggests. No doubt. I'm not saying they're upsetting BC here, but this could be the sort of game that Danny Mac keeps close. Perhaps better than taking the Ti-Cats and the points, to take the over 52.5 in this one, as there's no doubt that BC can score... so if Danny Mac can put 20 on the board, that should be enough, one would like to believe to cover the over. Either way, I think Hamilton can keep this one close, and perhaps 9 is a bit generous based on their recent run of games... but BC in my eyes hasn't been dominantly impressive despite their record and they might be prime for the upset this week.
