Thanks man. I'm glad I won some money because it was cold as hell sitting there soaked through to the bone.

Yup, BC at Hamilton. That smells like an under to me depending on the number.
Stamps have to win next week to win the west

Yeah it looks like Montreal got the same storm that hit Hamilton last night. Looking at the radar it looks like the worst of the wind will pass by game time though. Without weather I made the number 50.5 so its already a point below that. Definitely lean under but I am sitting in the black this week so I think I'll just watch this one and look for a possible 2H bet.
I really should've bet Montreal when they opened at pk but was slow on the trigger. Wouldn't take them at -3

3-3 on the week and +1.355*. Final week of the regular season coming up but no lines out yet. Only one game has any meaning and if the number is right I may have a play but more likely, I'll stick to 2H bets if any pop up.

Won't likely have a bet this week. Only the final game has meaning as the STamps need the win to secure first place. I was hoping to catch them as a small dog or short fav but at -6.5 the bookies are on the same wavelength.
The other spot I liked was the under in Hamilton. There is still a perception that the cats are a high flying offense but without Banks they're just not. Also Montreal is a solid under team who may play QB games again like they did last week giving Manziel and Pipkin each a half. But at its current 48.5 there's no value there. Some odds sites are showing it oipened at 53.5 but not at any of my books. If it did, I would've bet the under for sure.
Other games have multiple question marks. Unbettable week. 2Hs are possible however.

Ok I lied...I Think there’s some value here with Ottawa starting Dominique Davis and a trio of rookie receivers Some of them haven’t been off the practice roster all season. Add in miserable, rainy conditions and a shitty Argos offense and I think this will be an unwatchable slogfest. A recipe for an under.

I am a glutton for punishment but I am keeping these small because meaningless games are so unpredictable.
0.5* Montreal +6.5 -110
Hamilton depth chart came out and like the redblacks, they are sitting a ton of starters. Dane Evans gets his first ever game action, starting at QB. HJe looked decent 21 weeks ago in preseason but that was late game vs scrubs, many of whom never made a roster. They are also starting the dregs of their receiving corps, 3 linebackers who have only special teams experience, a new right tackle and a left tackle who started a few games but was benched. Its a pre-season-like roster.
The ALs should field their best options and I think Manziel will have a little extra for this one off his first win last week, playing against the team who traded him to the train wreck that is the Montreal Alouettes. I also think John Bowman might shine here in the final game of his career.
Should be a crap crowd too with no atmosphere. Of course I'll be there because I'm a sucker.

Late night degen special on the final game of the regular season. Calgary needs this game and should be able to pull out the win but I don't like laying big points on a team thats lost 3 straight. BC can talk all they want about winning Wally's final home game, but in reality Wally wants another cup and knows he has a tough road, having to win two on the road in the east to get there. I think he will sit some guys as this game wears on. Calgary has struggled to score of late with their depleted receiving corps and Eric Rogers will miss this game. They also get 4 defensive starters back including all-stars Tre Roberson and Jameer Thurman. I see the stamps winning and a low scoring affair.
0.5* Teaser Calgary -1 / under 55.5 +100

And I like the way they did it. There's something to be said for facing a little adversity going into the playoffs instead of coasting through the final games.

3-0 this week. Not bad for a guy who said there were no bets on the board. Creeping back within striking distance of my season high in units. Would be great to get there in the playoffs.

Only 5 games left.
Next weekend the east semi-final has BC traveling to Hamilton. BC getting the crossover spot. No crossover team has ever won the cup. The west semi-final will be Winnipeg at Saskatchewan which should be a fantastic game. Both games on Sunday.
The winners advance to play Ottawa in the east final and Calgary in the west final with the winners of those advancing to the Grey Cup in Edmonton on Nov 25.

Pretty much a regular

Yeah absolutely frigid. -10C is the high for the day and as the sun goes down in the 2H it will only get colder. I love 1Q unders in games like that.

Glad I tailed you and got the +3, I also threw a little more on the under there.
Any leans on that first game between the cats?

Its a tough game to cap because there's so many competing storylines. zThe teams split their season series, with the Lions winning at home in OT and then not even showing up the next week in Hamilton, losing 40-11. But inconsistent Jon Jennings started both those games for BC and now Travis Lulay is back while the cats had Brandon Banks in the lineup back then and now they don't so I'm not sure how much those meetings tell us.
The cats have gotten all their defensive pieces back for this game, DE Adrian Tracy, DL Neill and CB Delvin Breaux so they should be able to slow the Lions offense on paper. But when I look at the Lions offense I see a bunch loaded with playoff experience and in Lulay and Sutton, have a pair of guys who know this may be their final chance at a cup. In fact, all through the Lions roster I think there are guys like that. BC has been shit on the road all year and I generally hate betting dome teams on the road but I just feel like this is a group on a mission. I think they can win this game.
Hamilton doesn't have much HFA but today might be different as there should be a full, engaged crowd for this one (your humble writer included). Jeremiah Masoli has been a stat darling all year but he still isn't a guy I would trust to lead the team on a 4th quarter comeback. In fact, if you take his stats from 4 games against Toronto and Montreal out of the equation, his numbers look pretty damn ordinary against everyone else and he still plays better on the road than at home. And the cats still haven't found an answer to the loss of Banks, Saunders, Toliver and Chambers at receiver. Its a real patchwork that Masoli is throwing to with Marquay McDaniel who has only been out of retirement for 3 games (although he does have a wealth of playoff experience), drop-prone Mike Jones, rookie Justin Buren..etc etc etc.
Weather wise its a beautiful fall day. Sunny and cool (2C) but no wind to speak of. Its a perfect football day.
Apparently BC opened at +3 before early bettors pounded it down to pk. I think +3 was a good play but I missed it. I would take +2.5 or even +2 if the public bettors continue to push this line toward the cats. I'm seeing some +1.5 outt there now. Another option would be to tease BC and the under. Under because I see both teams leaning on their running game a bit more than usual in this one.

Its juicy but I used to play football in Canada and nothing sucks more than warming up in frigid conditions, going back into the warm lockerroom and then having to come back out to the arctic and start hitting. It takes a bit of time to get going, to adjust to the footing, the way the ball feels etc. Not to mention FG range is seriously reduced in this kind of cold.
