1-1 YTD...............One of those infuriating losses last week with Edmonton, so many chances to get it done and probably should have won by double digits but they were mentally weak and choked huge. But that's one of the risks you take when betting on bad teams. Not unexpected but frustrating nonetheless.
Toronto +6
This is more of a bet against Calgary than it is on Toronto. I don't like this spot at all for the Stamps.
As rare as it is for a professional football team to only have 3 full days rest between games like Calgary does this week, this will be their second straight on the road. In fact they didn't even fly home after the game in Hamilton and instead stayed in Southern Ontario all week. While it can be argued that not flying home will save on the wear of travel, I disagree. It's difficult enough preparing a proper game plan and reviewing film with this short of a rest period but not being able to do it in your own facilities has to be another uncomfortable situation entirely.
Not to mention the Stamps are prone to a letdown after a roller coaster game last week that saw them get the road SU dog win in the final seconds on a FG. Now they face an Argos team that they already beat up (the boxscore looks even worse) and I have to believe they will be overlooking the Argos here because A. They know they just manhandled them two weeks ago, B. They have a mammoth game at home against Saskatchewan next week and C. I think this team that is unaccustomed to being on the road more than a day just wants to get a win and get out of here and home to their own beds. This is a pretty big number for Calgary on the road too. Look at how many times they have won by 7 or more on the road vs how many times they haven't in recent years: 1-8, 3-6, 0-9, and 2-7. That's 6 road wins by 7 or more points in 36 chances. Yuck.
There has been a lot of turnover on both these teams and they were at different levels, but 3 years ago the Stamps played in almost this exact same situation playing the 2nd of 2 road games in Toronto on just 3 full days rest. The score? 48-15 Argos, Toronto led 41-0 after 3 quarters.

calgary always plays bad in toronto for some reason....Last year they killed toronto at home and then they won a very tight one in the big smoke...Your right my stamps are in a bad spot..GL

you cannot use statistics from 3 years ago.....?!?!! you cannot compare cleo lemon and these other guys to the likes of kerry joseph and bishop in his prime CFL times...?!?!
torontos defense was SICK back then...now they are average with average players...a couple of them too old for their positions....you are right with the 3 day rest though....Calgary might just want to get out of there with a win with little or no effort...you must remember its not a concern of calgary putting up points...its toronto!
6 isnt enough... if it was 8 or 9....worth possible consideration but this calgary team with their ability to dominate TOP and score at will when they dont make mistakes.....one touchdown isnt enough....I would rather put my cash on a horse that i know that can finish the race ....rather than put my cash on a horse who i think will only finish the race .....if the other horses are too "exhausted " or "mentally prepared"......6 points isnt enough

Agree with everything you said. I can't understand why the line is so high? I said yesterday in someone's thread this line should be 4 tops not 6. That alone often makes me put the wager in. The main reason I'm betting them is they just beat this team couple weeks ago and will take it for granted that this game is a win and not bring the proper emotion it takes to win games. Will have a little on ML as well. GL .

good luck....at least one of us will win lol
I wasn't really comparing the players, it was a comparison of the spot which is almost exactly the same for Calgary. The players and coaches are irrelevant. Of course I don't expect them to lose by 33, but this is a very difficult spot for the Stamps IMO.
BTW - you make it sound like that Argo team was a monster but let's not forget that team only won 2 of their first 8 games. They were junk for the first half of the season.

More later.
You left out, Toronto played just 16 hours before Calgary in an even more uptempo energy exerting game against a more bitter rival and unlike Calgary did have to travel across province and also through one hour of time change which means little but certainly makes the rest theory a wash especially with Calgary being the much better rushing team and much more physical team.....Having the home dog is always a smart move though..On the other side but best of luck tonight....

very true mac...they were junk in first half....but their defense was MILES better than it is now....i just dont see their defense now being able to contain calgarys running game....and with the revamped line i can see that posing problems for mr lemon...

In the first post I talked about how I did not like the fact that Calgary didn't fly home after their game in Hamilton and it really showed as they looked like shit. Well guess what? Montreal did the exact same thing.
While they won't be playing on 3 full days rest like Calgary, Montreal will be playing on just 4 full days rest after having stayed in Edmonton after Sunday's game. I just don't like this at all. They were not in their own beds this week, eating restaurant food all week, not practicing in their own facilities, and they did not have access to their own film rooms and I don't think they were able to make a proper game plan. And I think those last two points are big because this Montreal team has not looked good at all through 2 games. They're already -366 (!) in net yards and probably should be 0-2 if Edmonton didn't gift wrap them a win last week. This team has a hell of a lot to work on and not being able to do it in the comforts of home and their own facilities is a bad decision IMO.
As much as I don't like the spot for Montreal, I love it for BC. The Lions were embarrassed last week at home by the Riders and I love betting on teams in their next home game if they're dogs after being embarrassed at home the game before. We should see a really good effort out of the Lions here tonight.

Thanks. I should be on Edmonton today but I don't think I'm going to be able to pull the trigger. Maybe I was out to lunch but I honestly thought this line would be 9.5/10, but it opened 6?? Maybe the line is saying it all but I can't bet Edmonton here at a FG worse than what I thought the line would be although I do like the spot.

I just checked the weather forecast for Regina today and it's supposed to be fair but Northwest winds blowing 40km/h gusting to 60 km/h!! That's 25 mph gusting to nearly 40 for you Yanks. What's more is the direction is NW which is blowing directly in from the open end of the stadium blowing straight down the field.
The old saying goes "weather is the great equalizer", well that saying is magnified big time when wind is involved and even more when this kind of wind is involved. Passing is going to be very, very difficult today, especially anything over 10 yards. This should be a dogfight where both teams battle for field position throughout and big plays are at a bare minimum. What's more is this total is 58!!
Edmonton/Saskatchewan UNDER 58
If Edmonton ticks up a little more I'll be on them too. It's hard enough to win by 8 points but to do it in conditions like this is going to be very, very difficult.

If the winds are as crazy as speculated...the Edmonton ML & Under 58 come into play. I think both offenses are relatively similar, if Edmontons big play guys made some catches last week they would've have beat Montreal. If wind is blowing, its who takes advantage of scoring while down wind...and who has the better running game while into the wind. I think the running game edge goes to Edmonton, and it basically becomes a coin flip on who can score best while down wind. +250-275 is the perfect range to give the dog a shot.
