earlier in the game they called a draw play that had bc totally caught but harris ran into his own guys back trying to hit the hole. they are rolling so they open the playbook i guess and try and beat bc's spirit more than anything. they make a 2nd and 10 with a run play that hurts.
gonna be 34 - 24 in a sec here. that kamau catch is the tsn turning point so far.

1st leg down and now all I need is Calgary to win straight up and it is a great month. Speaking of Calgary, Sask is gonna start Crandell who has not played since week #1 and will be without his top two receivers he ran reps with in training camp, Flick and Fantuz. Dressler sounds like he will be limited and probably won't play now you add their top lineman in Chick out and their top DB is either out or playing at 50% in Johnson. Calgary is the toughest place to play in the league and Burris is a complete different animal at home. I honestly think this game is gonna be a Calgary blowout and it all starts in the 1st half. Got enough riding on the game already so this is side action.
Official Play:
1st half Calgary -3 (20 units)
I would like to weigh in on "toughest place to play" comment.
You could look at it in one of two ways. I think Calgary being a tough place to play as a statement to how different the Stamps play at home compared to on the road. In the last 3 years or so Calgary has been a middle of the pack CFL team overall, but the difference between wins and losses at home, and margin of victory at home and away, must be staggering. I would like to see what the stats actually are, but without researching, I would guess that the Stamps have the biggest difference in the league, or at least close to the biggest. The "toughest place to play" arguement I think speaks to how crappy this team can be on the road and conversly, how good this middle of the pack team can look at McMahon. Now that the Calgary has a new coaching staff, and are on the verge of breaking out of the CFL pack and back to an elite squad McMahon has to be considered the toughest play to play, or at the very least one of the toughest places to play.
Now, Casey, I think you were talking about environment. And that is something different all together. Many places could make this claim, including Taylor (mosaic) field when the team has a winning record. I have no doubt that the Riders have that place going crazy right now, but like Calgary, and I'm sure most every CFL city, I've seen that stadium dead and empty to start the fourth quarter when the riders are down by 21 and the team is in last place.
Calgary, maybe more than any other canadian city, has people from all over Canada, and seemingly especially from Saskachewan. Without hyperbole I would say that 30 % of Saturdays sold out crowd will be supporting Sask. and that will make for a pretty wild atmosphere.
