I think if this game features Ottawa's running attack, all the better for both over and Montreal as perverse as that seems... Ottawa is going to lose the battle of field position all night if they try running into the teeth of Montreal, and if Montreal is forced to run, Ottawa's defensive line is porous at best. Once Montreal pulls up a couple scores, Ottawa will be forced to pull out the stops. I still like over for the first half, but not necessarily the game, as Montreal will probably screw around in the 2nd half like they did against Hamilton last week on offense. Just my two cents... But the Weather Channel suggests 30% chance of rain and winds 10-15 MPH... but I know that those forecasts aren't always the greatest.
Im 3 miles from the park.....Storm passed through clearing up...not alot of rain and the winds are still up at 24 km http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pages/on-118_metric_e.html
Thanks clubman, isn't tonight mardi gras night also in Ottawa, has got quite the media attention, I'm going out on a limb to say things get out of hand, a few fights, break ups ...etc.. leave it to the Glibermans to start something contraversial at the home opener in a family oriented atmosphere. Save it for a pre-game party under a tent or something.
