Haha cheers mate, I remember going to Bomber games back when I was about 12 years old or so. I think they were a little more successful back then! Always will be a town with a lot of pride for their squad, hopefully they can begin producing in the upcoming years. I can tell with this line that the bookies will be cheering for Hamilton, but the fact of the matter is that the Riders are a very well-rounded football team. Burris is old, like Calvillo, and if Fantuz is still out I think the Rider defensive line can really take some risks knowing that their secondary has one less Hamilton weapon to worry about.
The Tiger-Cats are WAY too one dimensional in my opinion...Only one player on their team has over 100 rushing yards through 4 games, and that is Henry Burris...They pass 48 : 18 runs on first down...like wtf is that? Turned the ball over 7 times while only creating 2 turnovers themselves...Allowed 18 sacks while only getting 7 themselves..
They do get Dave Stala back on the offensive side of things, which should really help their running numbers (sarcasm). He is coming off a knee surgey and was taken off the 9-game injured list...maybe this hints towards a sense of desperation in the Tigercats...Fantuz is still out (to my knowledge), and Congi is in...
Is Durant playing tomorrow? Willey took most of the reps this week while Durant rested, but Durant did take some snaps towards the latter part of the week. I would say he plays...
Riders -3.5 is probably the biggest sucker bet of this young CFL season. But if you look at taking Hamilton, how do you back a team that doesn't sack QBs, doesn't create turnovers, and doesn't run the football well? Those are 3 pretty big factors in the CFL. Also giving up 18 sacks through 4 games? Perhaps Stala is coming back to help block the devastating Rider d-line....Riders dominate Hamilton in the sack, turnover and rushing category...
What do you think of this game?
