It wasn't there long. Guess they couldn't decide if they wanted to make it -5 or -6, so they did both at once.

My luck I would have bet EDM and they would lose 57-0!

Getting there...

Funny Jacksorbetter... Neelon Green has been terrible the past couple weeks

20-0 BC after another drive aided by pass interference penalty, 4 minutes left in the 1st half... an Edmonton TD here would help a lot.

Craptastic 20-3 BC game at the end of the 1st half...

Edmonton (+9)/Over 26.5 1st half L (-1 unit)
BC over 31 (1.5 units -110)

BC over 15.5 1st half W (+1 unit)
Edmonton/BC over 55 (4 units +100)
Edmonton/BC under 59.5 (1 unit -110)
Edmonton (+3) @ BC 1st half L (-1.10 units)

Really need the Edmonton offense to get going... Unfortunately it might get worse for Edmonton in the 2nd half, as Printers might get going in the 2nd half... I want absolutely no part of the 2nd half of this game, as there are WAY too many variables here to compute. I'll take my chances that this game goes over 32 in the 2nd half (and if I'm real lucky between 32 and 35) and go on in life... I'm fortunate to have 23 on the board in the 1st half.

Dunno my friend... I hope you're right. I really do. Because if you're right, I'm looking a lot better for being right for this game... but Ricky Ray has shown NOTHING positive in this game. Nothing whatsoever. But if you're under the logic that the Eskimoes can come back in this one, you're totally on the right side of the o/u... but I don't know if Edmonton's gonna get a TD in the 2nd half of this one... Really just hoping for a romp at this point and that BC wants to really make a statement to the rest of the CFL, that with their backup QB they can beat the Eskies by 30+ points.

Much better start to the 2nd half of this one than the 1st quarter was... 20-10 Lions now, 10 unanswered for Edmonton

23-12 thanks to Edmonton's punter pinning BC deep. 3 more TDs and no more would be really nice...

Less than a minute left in the 3rd, BC at their own 50 or so after a good kick return following the Edmonton TD... Printers REALLY needs to get going or Edmonton's gonna win this game outright... I'm pissed about how Edmonton has played in this one, screwing me at all chances tonight.

7 freakin' sacks tonight... looks like another 2 and out for BC

I think we're in big trouble Teddy... 8 sacks by the Eskies now, and a long time consuming drive results in nothing for the Lions... Right around 10 minutes left, and still no signs of the two more scores I need...

And another big punt by BC doesn't help either... special teams have really hurt the over tonight with several nice punts paired with plenty of dumb moves by Edmonton return teams. Printers has played like crap in this one, which doesn't help either... Amazing they've gotten to 23 in this one... Ricky Ray handed them 7 of it though... Eskies are the better team and Dickenson is the better QB... we'll be fortunate to cash the over in this one, and I think barring OT, whether it be forced by Edmonton at 23-23 or BC at 26-26, we're in trouble otherwise...

Safety conceded... 25-19 Lions 8:30 left in the ball game... now I think we're in worse shape than we were before though, as OT would be a real difficult accomplishment...

After a safety a the team getting the points can elect to have the other team kick off or they can take the ball on the 35 yard line. BC went 2 and out and Edmonton just picked up about 20 yards and then went 2 and out... BC backed up inside their own 30 and we're running out of time... just give me another BC TD to get one more part of this bet...

Geez, I wish I had even Danny Mac instead of Printers in this one... guy's a stiff... and he was MVP last year?

Not gonna be playing after this performance once Dickenson gets over his lousy "back spasms"

Team that gets the safety and the 2 points can take the ball at their own 35 or make the other team kick off.
