CFL Syndicate 2025

Depth charts out for tomorrow night.

Calgary still without C Bryce Bell. They have moved 2 DLs, Wilcots and COatney to the 1gm injured list hurting their depth there. Micah Teitz will get the start at MLB, backed up by the recently signed Kyle Wilson (ex Hamilton)\

Winnipeg will have Brady Oliveira back which alters the ratio which means G Gabe Wallace will sit in favour of preferred starter Micah Vanterpool. So basically they are pretty close to full health.

Even though money is coming on Calgary, I still love Winnipeg in this spot. They are just the superior team at every level. A bye week for Calgary isn't going to overcome that IMO.
 
Alright, injury reports are out and Toronto looks to be as banged up as last week with the exception of Parrish coming back at DE. I think this is Hamilton's game.

.5*/.5* Hamilton +2 / ML -111 / +113
Toronto will be without both starting RBs McMahon and Williams this week and Kevin Brown (ex EDM), who played late last week, will be pressed into the starting role. The team signed former Ottawa & Sask RB Khalan Laborn to back up.

Last year Arbuckle was ok in a relief role because Toronto had a league-best OL and running game. This year the OL is inexplicably not as good and without Carey, McMahon and Williams, the running game cannot be leaned on the way it used to. Add in a defence in transition and this team is just a shadow of what they were LY.

Liking Hamilton more and more this week so I'm adding another half unit to the ML at -105. Full bet now as follows...

.5*/.5*/.5* Hamilton +2/ML/ML -111/+113/-105

Rationale on the over. Well, like we have said all year the overs are too low. Tonight we have Collaros the best QB and no more Maier so that’s an improvement for CGY. Last week CGY total was 47 and it went way under. That is holding this total down enough to get involved.

I ran the data and 2 consecutive unders (CGY) also supports this over. I hate overs and favorites but I respect WPG a lot. If WPG loses here that will be something. Maybe a signal? They need to show signs of weakness and they have yet to do so.

Bad teams are bad teams and consistently show regression like the Argos. That’s not taking place.

WPG and the over.

I don’t bet overs pre-game because time comes off the clock before a score Is made. An early punt can occur even a fg can drop the line. Unders are made for pregame bets because adjustments can usually be made. Overs are not so flexible.

Not betting overs pregame is solid because you can usually get a better number by waiting a bit. Only problem comes when someone scores on the opening drive and you lose the number.

I thought about the over in Calgary but ultimately decided to leave it alone. Calgary has shown a propensity to run the ball more this year and with 2 starting receivers out, that might increase. Also, when playing a superior team, one commonly used strategy is to control the clock to limit possessions. This is more of an NFL thing because of the differences in clock rules but it happens in the CFL too. I lean over but I'm not confident enough to bet it. I'll root for you!
 
Toronto's injury report...

Contrary to what I said earlier, it looks like Parrish will not be back this week. McManis still out and he is the centrepiece of their defence. 2 OL still out, 2 RBs out. And this is in addition to the people they already have on the 6gm. Not a pretty picture. Go cats go!

I am going to try and find a ticket for this game in Toronto because its always fun to be there wearing the black and gold when the Argos LOSE
 
If I miss a line by an early score that’s life wait or pass on the game. Rarely these games exceed 60 points so at some point the scoring slows and an opposer uses. We’ll see the low total of 47 indicates everything you mentioned in but because last week was so low scoring and expect a low number
 
With and if Calgary tries to shorten the game even if an early s ore occurs the line will come back to me. If it doesn’t that’s fine I missed an opportunity


With last weeks under 47 I’m expecting a lower number tgann47 and with collar is snd Winnipeg scoring I should get it and I expect Calgary to competes with an in game line.

Add all this up over is a better option than I. Game Calgary in think
