CFL Betting Notes - Week 5
By David Schwab

The 2014 CFL season is just four weeks old and we are already seeing a major disparity between a West Division that has four teams with a .500 record or better and an East Division that so far has combined to win just three games straight up.

Last Thursday, Edmonton won the battle of two unbeaten teams in the West with a 26-3 victory over Winnipeg as a 1 ½-point road underdog. The total stayed well UNDER the 54-point closing line. Ottawa kicked off Friday’s double-header with its first ever CFL victory as the RedBlacks with a tight 18-17 win against Toronto as a one-point home underdog. That total stayed UNDER the 52-point line. Calgary remained perfect in the West with a 10-7 win over Hamilton at home on Friday night as a 9 ½-point favorite and the total stayed UNDER the 51-point closing line.

In the only game on Saturday’s slate in Week 4, British Columbia pasted Montreal 41-5 as a 7 ½-point home favorite to even its mark after a 0-2 SU start. It was a clean sweep for the UNDER play with the total line in that game set at 48 ½ points.


Saturday, July 26

Ottawa (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) at Hamilton (0-3 SU, 2-1 ATS)

Point-spread: Hamilton -4½
Total: 48½

Game Overview

The RedBlacks earned their first victory of the season behind Henry Burris throwing the ball and Chevon Walker running it on the ground. Neither player’s numbers were spectacular, but it was just enough to get the job done. You also have to give credit to the defense for its ability to shutdown Toronto when it needed to the most.

Hamilton had to turn to both Jeremiah Masoli and Dan LeFevour last week for injured quarterback Zach Collaros and the result was a grand total of seven points on a one-point play and two field goals. Collaros remains questionable for this Saturday while recovering from a blow to the head. The Tiger-Cats are ranked dead-last in scoring with an average of 13.7 points a game.

Betting Trends

The Tiger-Cats are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a SU loss, but they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a SU losing record. The total has stayed UNDER in their last four games at home.

Toronto (1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS) at Saskatchewan (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS)

Point-spread: Saskatchewan -6
Total: 49½

Game Overview

Despite the fact that quarterback Ricky Ray leads the CFL in passing with 1,280 yards while completing 70.9 percent of his throws, this has not always translated to points and more importantly wins. It also does not help when you have a defense that has given-up the most points (112) in the league.

The defending champs are fresh off a bye week that followed a disappointing 26-13 loss to BC in Week 3 as five-point home favorites. Saskatchewan has already lost to the Argonauts this season in a 48-15 beatdown in Week 2 as a two-point favorite on the road. Darian Durant has 622 passing yards in three games and he has completed just 55.3 percent of his 85 attempts.

Betting Trends

The Argonauts have won three of the last four meetings both SU and ATS and the total has gone OVER in all four games. The road team in this matchup is 6-3 SU in the last nine meetings and Toronto is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight trips to Saskatchewan.

Arena Football (AFL)

Playoff Spot, Bragging Rights, On the Line in Keystone Collision
By MIKEY WONSOVER

The AFL season is winding down.

With just one week left in the regular season, the playoff picture is coming into focus. The matchups of Arizona versus Portland, San Jose versus Spokane, and Orlando versus Pittsburgh are already set for the 2014 AFL Postseason. But the last wildcard spot and No. 4 seed in the American Conference is still up for grabs.

The Philadelphia Soul (9-8) and the Tampa Bay Storm (8-9) have everything riding on the last week of the season. With a win or Storm loss, the Soul can clinch the last playoff spot. But if Tampa Bay wins and Philadelphia falls, the Storm can steal the final wildcard spot. If this late-season drama wasn’t enough for the Soul, they will be playing their last game of the regular season in enemy territory against one of the hottest teams in the League.

Philadelphia will make the five-hour trip to Pittsburgh on Saturday in the ninth meeting in Keystone Collision history. The Soul held a 4-2 advantage in the series heading into this year, but the Power have turned the tables this season. The game between the two Pennsylvania teams is unlike the regular week-to-week AFL matchups.

“There certainly is a different atmosphere,” Power head coach Ron James said of the Keystone Collision rivalry. “There are a couple aspects to it when you’re playing an in-state rival in your own division. The biggest aspect of it is that it juices up the crowd. When we go down there, the Philadelphia crowd really likes to see Pittsburgh take their lumps so to speak. I think it’s the same thing here for our Pittsburgh crowd. They like to get after the Philadelphia folks as well. We’ve played them twice already, both were fantastic football games.”

The Power have won the previous two games against the Soul this season by a combined nine points. Pittsburgh took the first game 65-57 in Week 8, thanks to an eight-touchdown-to-no-interception performance by Power quarterback Tommy Grady. The Week 14 matchup was an instant classic.

Soul quarterback Dan Raudabaugh put Philadelphia up 56-54 after a three-yard touchdown pass to V’Keon Lacey with just 35 seconds left in the game. A failed onside kick by the Soul gave the Power prime field position at the Philadelphia 13-yard line. That gave kicker Julian Rauch more than enough room to connect on a 23-yard field goal as time expired, giving Pittsburgh a one-point victory. Close losses have doomed the Soul this season.

“We’ve struggled finishing games,” defensive back LaRico Stevenson said. “Not making plays when we’re supposed to make plays. It’s things that we’ve done to ourselves that have really hurt us. Not finishing plays, not catching balls when we’re supposed to, not making tackles when we’re supposed to, blowing coverage. All of the aspects of hurting a team, we’ve done it.”

Stevenson has been on both sides of the Keystone Collision. The five-year AFL veteran spent time with the Power in 2011 and 2012 before joining the Soul during the 2012 season. He endured a breakout season in his first campaign in Philadelphia, finishing with a career-high 74 tackles and seven interceptions in 2013.

“It was a different experience,” Stevenson said of his time in Pittsburgh. “Ever since I’ve been in Philadelphia, it’s a big notch up from where I was at. I love Pittsburgh, but man Philly is totally different. I love it here.”

Having played for both teams in the American East rivalry has given Stevenson a unique perspective.

“When I was there, the rivalry was intense,” Stevenson said. “Now that I’m here, the Pittsburgh fans and Philadelphia Soul fans are totally different. Our fans are great. What I’ve seen since I’ve been here, it’s made me love this game a little bit more every time I play against Pittsburgh. It’s totally different for me. I get pumped up for all the games, they’re all the same to me at the end of the day, but it’s going to be a little bit more for this one right here because of who we’re playing.”

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have had remarkably different seasons. The Soul have the richer history of the two teams, winning the ArenaBowl in 2008 and reaching the championship game in 2012 and 2013, but Pittsburgh has flipped the script this season. The Power are in the midst of a franchise-record 11-game winning streak, with their last loss coming in Week 7 to a then-undefeated Cleveland Gladiators squad. Pittsburgh has the third-most wins in the League this season with a record of 14-3, while Philadelphia has yet to clinch a playoff spot. The turnaround season for Pittsburgh has had a monumental affect on the football-crazed city.

“I think it’s got to feel great for the organization and our fan base,” James said. “For me, I don’t know any different. I’m used to being in tough divisions out in the West with Spokane, Arizona, and San Jose, and now with Cleveland and Philadelphia. It’s great competition and I love it. Hopefully our fans get something special out of it. The fans here in Pittsburgh are rabid football fans. They’ve really been pining away for a winner here in the AFL and finally we’ve been able to give that to them. I know it’s been a special season for our fan base and our ownership group. We’re just hopeful that we could push this thing to the limit this year.”

The Soul aren’t accustomed to losing, but the team now has a chip on its shoulder when it matters most.

“It is a different feeling,” Stevenson said. “We are predominately one of the top teams. This year injuries and not finishing games has hurt us. Now that we’re at the bottom, scratching and fighting for the top, we want it much more. It makes your team hungrier, it makes us closer, it makes us know what are goals are. We want to beat this team much more.”

Rivalries are intense. Emotions run high, physicality is prevalent, and aggressive play is the norm, but on-field animosity won’t get in the way of a cherished friendship between the opposing head coaches.

“For me it’s always special when we play Philadelphia because one of my former players, Clint Dolezel, is the head coach at Philadelphia,” said James, who coached Dolezel in stints with the Houston ThunderBears and Las Vegas Gladiators. “I know Clint and his family real well. It’s always fun to play those guys. It’s always fun to compete against your friends.”

The Keystone Collision goes beyond the state of Pennsylvania. The entire AFL and its fan base will benefit from what is becoming one of the best rivalries in the game.

“It’s very important for us, for the League, and for the fans. It’s a great rivalry,” Stevenson said. “Pittsburgh has been real good this year, one of the top teams. We right now are trying to get to the playoffs. There are players on our team that have been in situations like this with a playoff atmosphere. We’re ready for it. With this game, it’s exciting right now, I’m telling you. It’s going to be a good game this weekend.”

AFL

Division Champs to Meet in Regular Season Finale on CBS Sports Network
AFL Communications

ORLANDO – The South Division champion Orlando Predators (10-7) will square off with the West Division champion Arizona Rattlers (15-2) in a battle of playoff-bound teams this weekend. The “NET10 Wireless Arena Football Saturday” matchup is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.

This will be the first meeting between the two teams since July 2013, when the Rattlers defeated the Predators, 84-56, in “The Jungle”. It will also be Arizona’s first time back in Orlando since defeating the Philadelphia Soul at ArenaBowl XXVI last August. The Predators will be looking for their first win against the Rattlers since 2006.

Arizona wrapped up the No. 1 seed and home field advantage in the National Conference in Week 15, while Orlando comes into Week 20 fresh off clinching the No. 2 seed in the American Conference last week. Both teams will host playoff games next Sunday in the AFL Quarterfinals, with Arizona returning home to face the Portland Thunder and Orlando welcoming in the Pittsburgh Power.

The Rattlers come into the game boasting one of the most dynamic offenses in AFL history, led by AFL MVP candidate Nick Davila. The “Latin Laser” has tossed a franchise-record 121 touchdown passes this season, the second-highest single-season total in AFL history. He also moved into 10th place all-time for career passing yards in last week’s 65-55 win over the Portland Thunder, bringing his five-year yardage total to 24,585. Those stats have been helped along by a star-studded cast of characters in the Arizona receiving corps. Rod Windsor is four touchdown receptions shy of his own single-season franchise record of 47, while Maurice Purify and Tysson Poots continue to force AFL defenses into costly mismatches.

Bernard Morris figures to get the start at quarterback for the Predators. Morris, who was added to the lineup after opening day starter Jason Boltus went down with an injury midway through the year, has been electric for the Predators this season, most recently accounting for nine total touchdowns in the team’s 70-64 overtime victory against the New Orleans VooDoo last week. The AFL’s best dual-threat signal-caller passed for six scores and rushed for three more in the game. He also eclipsed 10,000 passing yards for his career a week ago. Orlando will need another big performance from Morris this week against an experienced and opportunistic Rattlers defense. NET10 Wireless Rookie of the Year candidate Greg Carr should help the cause, as the former Florida State Seminole star leads all rookies in receiving with 111 catches for 1,413 yards and 36 touchdowns this season. Fellow first-year wideouts Kendal Thompkins and Khalil Paden have also shown big-time playmaking ability, while midseason acquisition Larry Brackins has provided some much needed veteran leadership. The sixth-year pro has also shown he still has plenty left in the tank, leading the team with three touchdown grabs last week.

Orlando will have their hands full defensively against the high-powered Arizona attack. Pass rushers Michael Janac and Earl Okine will have their work cut out for them, as sacks have been hard to come by all season against the very reliable Rattlers offensive line. If Orlando cannot find a way to put pressure on Davila, the Predators secondary could be in for a long day. However, that unit has no shortage of talent. Jack linebacker Tanner Varner forced two fumbles a week ago and is one interception shy of 25 for his career, while veterans Eddie Moten and Tracy Belton will be anxiously waiting for opportunities to contend for a few more picks of their own.

For the Rattlers, opposing teams have struggled to find weak spots in the defense all season. The franchise’s all-time leader in sacks, Anttaj Hawthorne, mans the middle, while former Defensive Lineman of the Year, Cliff Dukes, and perennially underrated Mac linebacker Tyre Glasper lead the pass rush. Three former All-Arena selections headline the secondary, with Jack linebacker Jeremy Kellem and defensive backs Arkeith Brown and Marquis Floyd – the League’s leader in interceptions with 13 – all turning in outstanding seasons. Rookie Allen Chapman has also come on strong as of late, returning an interception 40 yards for a touchdown last week.

UFC on FOX 12 Preview
By Brian Edwards


The Ultimate Fighting Championship will bring a 12-fight card to SAP Center in San Jose this Saturday night. In the main-event tilt on FOX, welterweight contenders 'Ruthless' Robbie Lawler and Matt 'The Immortal' Brown will collide for the right to face Johny Hendricks for the 170-pound belt.

Most betting shops opened Lawler (23-10 MMA, 8-4 UFC) as a favorite in the -260 to -280 range. As of early Friday afternoon, Bovada had Lawler installed as the -370 'chalk,' while Brown was available for a +280 return (risk $100 to win $280). Gamblers can find a better payout for Brown (+310).

The total for 'over/under' wagers is 2.5 rounds. Bettors have to lay a -145 price for the 'under,' while 'over' backers can garner a +115 payout.

In his second tour of duty in the UFC, the 32-year-old Lawler has reached his prime and done his best work inside the cage. He's won four of five fights, including brutal knockouts of Josh Koscheck and Jake Ellenberger. His only loss came to Johny Hendricks in an epic five-round slugfest at UFC 171 on March 15, when the judges gave the decision to 'Bigg Rigg' by a 48-47 score on all three cards.

Brown (21-11 MMA, 12-5 UFC) has won seven consecutive fights, including a thrilling comeback win over Erick Silva in his main-event debut at UFC Fight Night 40. Brown got floored by a hard body kick from Silva early in the first round, but he fought off a couple of submission attempts after giving up his back. Brown eventually got back to his feet and dominate the last two minutes of the opening stanza.

In the second and third rounds, it was Matt Brown 101. He punished Silva with a wild array of strikes, knees and kicks. Silva, whose chin had been a question mark in previous bouts, took the beating and kept coming. The Brazilian even halted Brown's momentum a couple of times by landing body kicks to the same spot that initially hurt Brown in Round 1.

But fighting in his home state in front of a crowd in Cincinnati that clearly had his back, Brown shook off those body blows and eventually finished Silva with a violent barrage of punches. He hooked up his betting supporters with a +210 return (paid $210 on $100 wagers).

During his seven-fight winning spree, Brown has cashed underdog tickets four times. His victories over Jordan Mein and Stephen Thompson scored his backers payouts of +300 and +190, respectively. Brown's last five wins have come via the KO route.

Prediction: This scrap has Fight of the Night (and potentially Fight of the Year) written all over it. Both guys are talented on the ground, but they are at their best standing. Lawler has looked incredible lately and he has clearly faced tougher competition. That's the knock on Brown -- that his last seven victims haven't been from the upper tier of the welterweight loop. Only two of those foes (Mike Pyle and Silva, No.'s 13 and 15, respectively) are currently ranked. If this is a pick 'em matchup or if Lawler is -160ish or cheaper, then 'Ruthless' would be the play. However, that's not the case. Gamblers can get Brown at +300 or better and, therefore, that's my suggestion for a small wager. With both men's propensity to finish, I'm tempted to look at the 'under,' but the -145 price tag is a little expensive for my taste.

In the co-main event, Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson will face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in a crucial light-heavyweight showdown. As of Friday, most spots had Johnson installed as an enormous -500 'chalk.' 'Little Nog' is +400 on the comeback (risk $100 to win $400). The total is 1.5 rounds ('over' -150, 'under' +120).

Johnson (17-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) made an explosive return to the Octagon at UFC 172, easily defeating Phil Davis by unanimous decision (30-27 three times). Rumble cashed tickets as a +180 underdog.

Johnson took a pink slip from the UFC early in 2012 after he missed weight by 12 pounds for a middleweight clash against Vitor Belfort, who nevertheless submitted Johnson at UFC 142. While toiling in the minor leagues, Johnson rolled to seven consecutive wins, including a victory over former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski.

Now that he's fighting at 205 pounds, Johnson appears to have put his weight-cutting issues in the past. And if his performance against Davis is an indicator, he looks like a serious contender in the light-heavyweight division.

Nogueira (21-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) hasn't fought in more than 17 months due to various injuries. However, the Brazilian legend looked sharp in his last outing at UFC 156, beating Rashad Evans by unanimous decision. Prior to that victory, 'Little Nog' destroyed UFC Hall of Famer and former 205-pound kingpin Tito Ortiz.

Prediction: How much does the 38-year-old Brazilian have left in the tank? Can he deal with Johnson's speed? Will cage rust be a factor, or could the lengthy layoff be a good thing for Nogueira? I think Johnson gets the victory, but he's entirely too expensive in this situation. You either take Nogueira or pass. I'll pass.

In the featherweight division, veteran Clay Guida (31-14 MMA, 11-8 UFC) will take on Dennis Bermudez. Most books are listing Bermudez as a -155 favorite, while 'The Carpenter' is +135 on the comeback. The 'over/under' is 2.5 rounds ('over' -280, 'under' +230).

Bermudez (13-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) has won six fights in a row since getting submitted by Diego Brandao in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 14. 'The Menace' is coming off a TKO win over Jimy Hettes that earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.

Prediction: I'll have a small play on Guida as a short underdog in a fight he absolutely has to have if he hopes to make a push toward a title shot.

The main card will start with a lightweight matchup between Josh Thomson and Bobby Green. Thomson was originally slated to take on Michael Johnson in what would have been a very interesting battle. Now the 13th-ranked Green gets an excellent opportunity to pull an upset and slide into the top 10 of the 155-pound loop.

Thomson, ranked No. 3 in the division, is a -250 favorite at most shops. Green is a +210 underdog (risk $100 to win $210). The total is 2.5 rounds ('over' -190, 'under' +160).

Green hasn't tasted defeat in nearly three years, winning seven straight fights, including his first three in the UFC. He is the former King of the Cage lightweight champ.

Thomson (20-6-0-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is coming off a split-decision loss to Benson Henderson. During the first round of that setback, Thomson sustained a broken thumb. Before losing to Henderson, Thomson became the first fighter to KO Nate Diaz.

Prediction: I think Thomson wins, but I'm not going to risk the expensive price. I'll pass.

The first four fights on the card will be on UFC Fight Pass (subscription only), while the last eight bouts will be on FOX.

**Octagon Extras**

-- I like Daron Cruickhshank as a +205 underdog against Jorge Masvidal. Also, I'll be on Kyle Kingsbury as a +125 underdog vs. Patrick Cummins.

-- Alexander 'The Mauler' Gustafsson had to pull out of his UFC 178 showdown against Jon 'Bones' Jones after tearing his meniscus while training in Sweden. Therefore, Daniel 'DC' Cormier will take on the long-time 205-pound kingpin. Sportsbooks opened the champ as a -170 favorite a few days ago, with Cormier listed as the +145 underdog. On Friday, however, Sportsbooks had Jones as a -230 'chalk,' with Cormier as a +170 'dog.

-- Nick Diaz signed a three-fight contract extension with the UFC on Thursday. All indications are that Diaz will probably return to the Octagon to face Anderson Silva on Super Bowl Weekend.

-- Joe Riggs is returning to the promotion to face Paulo Thiago at UFC Fight Night 51 in Brazil.

MLB

'NL West Showdown'

The second of a pivotal three-game series between the top two clubs in the NL West is Saturday's baseball betting focus as Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants square off in AT&T Park. The Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw to the mound carrying an 11-2 record, 1.92 ERA to the hill. The left-hander in great form is ridding a perfect 9-0 team start record allowing 2 or less runs in eight of the nine trips to the mound. Kershaw will be matching pitches with Giants’ Ryan Vogelsong, who has a 5-7 record, 3.99 ERA. In contrast, the Giants' right-hander is struggling posting a 1-5 record the past eight with San Francisco 2-6 over the span. The starters coming into the game from opposite ends of the spectrum is bad new for Giants. The fact Kershaw is a southpaw is another reason Giants take a step backwards, as they club is just 3-8 last 11 vs a left-handed starter. A few other telling baseball betting nuggets that favor Los Angeles in this one. Dodgers have won 15 of Kershaw's last 19 July starts, have won 7 of his 8 road starts this season and have won 6 of his last 8 tossing in San Francisco.

CFL games on a crazy under streak

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers thrashed the BC Lions 23-6 in Canadian Football League action Friday night, resulting in yet another game landing below the point total and extending the streak of games going under.

Teams in the CFL have gone under the point total in nine consecutive games and are now 4-14 over/under for the season. The under is hitting 77.78 percent of the time.

There is a doubleheader on tap for Saturday with the Ottawa Redblacks (1-2 over/under) visiting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-3 O/U) with a total currently at 47.5 and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-2 O/U) host the Toronto A
Argonauts (2-2 O/U) with a current total of 50.5.
