All I can say is this will be the first and last time I throw out a strong opinion on a game without a line being presented already as I truly feel oddmakers scouted this thread out and jacked the line up cause 6 is ridiculous against an undefeated team. It was influenced I guarantee it. Live and learn never saying anything again prior to lines being produced.
i am going to disagree with that comment.
there was 5 or 6 good reasons to make this line close to a calgary TD victory.
1. riders struggle historically at mcmahon
2. injuries to chick, fantuz, flick, durant, james johnson, crandell
3. third string QB vs henry burris
4. calgary coming off a loss at home revved up to face the top team in the cfl right now
5. riders undefeated record doesnt mean they are superior to calgary it just means they performed better in the last minute of games. honestly calgary could be 5 - 0 except for 2 circus catch TD's in the final 30 seconds of 2 road games
6. calgary totally healthy on offense.
i was at a Earls location in regina here after the game on sunday and chris cuthbert, glen suitor and the tsn crew were there and i asked them their thoughts on next week and they all said calgary by a TD. not saying they know it all but it is a pretty widespread though on this board and among those that cover the cfl closely. i doubt the sportsbooks were gonna be giving this a close line.
