CFL East Division Final TOR@MTL

Taking this early.

TOR +1.5 ATS for the full game.

Bol CFLChef. 

Seeing +2.5 at BetMGM.

Other than the revenge factor for Toronto, why do you like them to beat Montreal on the road in the Eastern Final? 

Why do I like TOR in this spot?

Well I guess at this point, I have to tip my cap, to Pete Rose!  RIP SIR.  You truly were a legend.

A man ahead of his time.  Shame on you MLB for the way you treated that man.

Men in locker rooms, dugouts, and in the shadows of every sports field & stadiums, have been betting on the outcomes of sporting events for a 100 years.

Now, one can bet on games, while sitting in their seats.  For shame MLB.

So what does all of this have to do with the CFL?  Especially this playoff weekend?

Well, when the CFL suspended Mr. lemon for MTL on July 5th, for investing in the outcomes of CFL games the team still played OK for the next couple of weeks but then the Defense changed.

They started to miss Mr. Lemon.  He was instrumental for the Defense of MTL.  He was the leader!  He called the shots, all the way to the Grey Cup last year.

Now he is gone.  

And for what?  Just like Pete Rose, he liked to throw a few bean shackles down on a game or two.

Now he can't play the game!

MTL has been on cruise control the last few weeks.  Congratulations Mr. Fajardo & your new child.

This team has been in, Distraction Mode, for several weeks now, leading up to these playoffs.

They sure are rested.

These 2 teams are deep and have play makers but I think without Mr. Lemon for MTL and losing a bit of focus these last few weeks, TOR is primed to win this game, get their revenge and wait to see who they play in the Grey Cup in BC.

Used to be you went by population.  The bigger the city the bigger the liability for the sports books.  Sometimes it was just that easy, lol.

TOR showing up @ Percival Stadium or as I like to call it Folsom Prison, will not be intimidated.  Everyone on the team is familiar with the stadium.

Both teams play outdoors.

Sure WPG gave MTL a scare last week but maybe not enough to get them ready for TOR this weekend.

I never like backing a team, that in my opinion, has been coasting into the playoffs.

It's going to be a great game & even on the road I will back TOR this weekend to get it done.

Looks like nothing but sunny skies in MTL for this game.  Nice.

GL.

BOL Chef...

Back down to +1.5. 

GL 

AND... We have a line reversal.

TOR now the Fav.

Argos now at -1.5.

Would you still take them?  

What happened? Players out?

Not sure, Scoot.  A big site in the US released MTL as a play earlier.

They also released SSK +4 as well.

MTL wins the coin toss.

TOR gets to decide in the 2nd half as to what they want to do.

ADV TOR.

Here we go.

I mentioned in a post back in early July that Montreal would return and repeat as Grey Cup champions and I'm sticking with my selection.

Bol to everyone just the same. 

Holy turnovers Batman!!

TD TOR.

7-0

Als have to feel good being down by only 4, after a pick six and two fumbles. 

End of the 1st QTR>

7-3 for TOR.

Fajardo looks rusty, thank goodness.

Als TD (that seemed too darn easy for them) 

He does but Kelly looks even worse. That Als defense is "stout".  

Oh Baby!  That was a weird 1st Half.

MTL with no more challenges left & 1 time out for the rest of the game.

What was MTL coach thinking?

time to go get the 2nd Half line.

Gotta go with MTL eh

2nd Half line is TOR +0.5 

I will pass.  Strange game & I already have TOR +1.5 ATS for the full game.

YA MTL -.5 would have been the play.  Laying anything in the 2nd Half of a CFL game is not good.

Strange game.  Anything can happen this 2nd Half, so I stayed away.

Lucky for TOR to be winning this game.

I couldn't agree more about the Als coach. Great way for the Argos to end the half and go to the locker room. 

Kelly down - critical moment for Toronto moving forward. 

OH NO.  Kelly possible broken right leg.

Hmm. Arbuckle in.
