Guru's Golden Picks: CFL Experiment Week 6

[AFLGuru]

Riders are falling back into the realm of mediocrity instead of an actual challenger quickly... Hopefully they can keep the Renegades out of the end zone for the rest of this one.

From what I gather, it's not that the Riders defense played that poor or that Ottawa played that well. Just stupid mistakes for the Riders costing them this one. Back to back blow outs.

BC on the move early in the 3rd quarter in scoring range.

 

[AFLGuru]

TD BC! Of course, that's not helping Calgary +6.5, but I need 12 more BC points anyway. Calgary needs 5 more for my team totals.

24-17 one drive into the 3rd quarter, 7-0 BC for the half.

66 yard pass for Burris! Calgary at the BC 2

 

[AFLGuru]

24-24

 

[AFLGuru]

27-24 Lions, still 4:20 left in the 3rd quarter... 10-7 BC 2nd half

 

[AFLGuru]

Hey John, you watching/listening to the Riders/Gades game? How much time do we have left to deal with?

 

[JohnMolson]

Riders score with 24 sec left.21-16.....Sask recovers kick,20 sec left

 

[AFLGuru]

Sweet Riders... don't give up any points in the next 24 seconds... let me know when the game is over.

Calgary hopefully about to take the lead with the ball on the BC 13, and that'll put the game total over.

This was EASY.

 

[JohnMolson]

21-16 final:lolBIG:

 

[AFLGuru]

Wow, Riders recover an onsider and actually have a shot to win this one all be it a slim one.

Calgary draws even again. Every drive has been a score in this one.

27-27 under a minute left in the 3rd, 10-10 for the half. Need 5 more BC points, Calgary to stay with 6.5, and 8 more total for a well deserved and well needed complete sweep for the day.

WOW I am not sure you can have a game pegged much better than one. SUPER call. Thanksarty:

 

[AFLGuru]

Still some work to be done... 29-27 BC after field position cost the Stamps 2 points. Bad news for the Stamps to win this game (not that I care from a betting standpoint), but great news for my BC over 31... just need a FG now instead of a TD.

 

[AFLGuru]

Definite props to ScottW in this one as well. Sharky also with the great strong play tonight. Might be mistaken, but I think everyone was a winner tonight


BC deep into Calgary territory again... bet the Stamps are glad they conceded that safety now...

 

[AFLGuru]

There she is... TD BC!

Now, if the Stamps can just keep it close, I'll have a complete sweep... but even if they don't, I'm still a very happy camper for the evening.

 

[AFLGuru]

Unfortunately, the Stamps are picking up a ton of objectional conduct calls here, and it seems like they've mentally fallen apart after this BC TD. I think if the Stamps get stopped here, the only way we grab a cover is with a pick 6... And Dickinson has been on fire tonight and hasn't missed in this half I don't believe.

 

[AFLGuru]

Alright, Stamps need a TD... inside 4 minutes, BC up 40-27, but the Lions are without Simmons and Green for the rest of this one... real shortage of WRs, but I guess if there's a time to be short WRs, it's up 13 with 4 minutes left in the game.

 

[AFLGuru]

Stamps ran out of gas in this one... but this Calgary team will have a good memory for Dickinson still chucking bombs late in this game with the game already out of hand... Calgary's beating this team in two weeks... And I think they're gonna smoke this team in two weeks... This Calgary team I still think can be a real force in the West... I look for them to put two good victories on the board in the next two weeks to vault them clear past the struggling Riders and into striking range of the Eskimos and Lions in the West... Don't think they're ultimately gonna get it done, as the West seems almost impossible to catch these two teams, but especially Edmonton has shown some signs of weakness this season and might be exploited later on in the season if Ricky Ray doesn't continue lights out play. If Calgary was in the East, I'd say they were a very possible playoff team... but unfortunately, they're not. I'm gonna enjoy betting on this team this year, I can tell.

Alouettes over 28.5 L (-1.5 units)
Alouettes over 14.5 1st half L (-1 unit)
Alouettes (-5) vs. Argos L (-3.21 units)
Montreal vs. Toronto over 27 2nd half W (+3.5 units)

BC/Calgary over 53 W (+2.5 units)
BC/Calgary over 26 1st half W (+2 units)
Calgary over 21.5 W (+1 unit)
BC over 31 W (+1 unit)
Calgary over 10.5 1st half W (+1 unit)
BC over 16 1st half W (+1.05 units)
BC/Calgary over 27.5 2nd half W (+2 units)
Calgary (+6.5) 2nd half L (-1.06 units)

Ottawa under 24 W (+2 units)... thanks for the tipoffs in this one from various people on the board.

Monsterous day and a monsterous week thus far... 11+ units just today... 9-4 (+9.28 units) on the week

ATS: 8-6 (+8.08 units)
Totals: 6-1 (+7.97 units)
Team Totals: 6-2 (+4.85 units)
Moneylines: 5-5 (+1.70 units)
1st half: 6-7 (-1.47 units)
2nd half: 8-5 (+10.81 units)
Overall: 39-26 (+31.94 units)

Going to mull tomorrow's game once again... Thinking about Hamilton under the team total, but I'm not sure about that yet. Edmonton is really due for a dominant performance, but they've had troubles putting lousy teams away in back to back weeks.

I think CAL can get into the playoffs if they still have that "crossover" thing, where a team that would have been left out gets in if they have a better record than a team in the other conference that is slated to go, or something like that. Anyone who follows the CFL all the way to playoff time should know more about this.
