#1 Posted: 8/31/2008 12:03:04 PM This will be my biggest bet of the CFL season so far. Edmonton/Calgary under the total of 57. Both teams are giving up close to 25 points per game and scoring 30....hence the 57 line. Calgary holds teams to nearly 20 at home and the Esks dont score as much on the road. What linemakers did not take into account is the rivalary of the labour day classic, how close these teams tuly are, strong D's and probally biggest of all, the weather. These teams are tied and battling for the top of the division with the roughies. This game will have both defenses at the top of thier game, not giving up any big plays. What will help each defense is the cold,wet weather, which may be the first time both teams have seen it this year. It gets to be a little different game with different play calling when the finger tips are a little numb, the ball is a little more slippery and both teams are not wanting the big mistake or have the big turn over. The short game and completion % for both QB's drop substantioally and the chains are harder to keep moving. I see this one turn into a battle in the trenches with not as much scoring as we have seen in the past from these two teams. The better running game will win. Going hard on the under.
Good luck with yours |
