CFL Week 1

Lines are moving fast today.  So far,

CGY -3

No play so far on WPG.  Was -4.5 now at -5

MTL -1.  Now -3.  I still like -3

EDM +2.  Now +1.5  Still like +1.5

As always I like to invest in the 2nd half of almost every single game of the year.

Good luck everyone.

Masoli QB for OTT out for game #1 on the road vs MTL, hence the line move.

MTL -1 to MTL -3

It's interesting.  Over the last couple of years NFL cappers have been down grading home field advantage.  Used to be -3.  Now they are hovering around -2 or -1.5

Some cities like SEA or GB still garner the home field advantage.

Now here in the CFL I feel like home field advantage still exists.  The teams are so far apart that most people are at the game 

rooting for the home team.  Unlike in the NFL.

Take at least 3 pts away from the home team was a given.  Incidentally ADD 3 pts to the total of every game.  When you see a total,

deduct 3 pts and that is the proper total.

Anyways I still think home field advantage still exists in the CFL. 

So backing MTL at home -3 up from -1 is still a good bet

There is a great 5 min podcast called The "The Simple Handicap".  Great podcast for NFL.  Short and to the point.

The creator posted a great story about EDM QB Cornelius.

Worth listening to!

Search it wherever you get your podcasts.  

Is the air quality going to effect the game?  Isn't Alberta on fire....  literally! 

I am officially calling for Calgary to cover.  VD is no Rourke...  Not even close.  Calgary gets blow out win at home.  Calgary has better D and are at home with a good qb.  Lions got kicked in the balls when Rourke signed with Jags.

Now I understand the line reversal in the SSK@EDM game this Sunday.

EDM +2 to EDM -2, now -2.5

I have been thinking about air quality all week.

It was bad in ONT, I can't imagine what it might be like in downtown CGY tonight.

I will look into this right now.

It's a #4 moderate risk.  High risk starts at 8.  HMM.

Not ideal. (play the under?)  I am joking.

Anyone with respiratory issues will not fare well.

Hard to say until we see pre game. 

Actually looking at a live camera, downtown Calgary Alberta, everything looks great.  Looks like a nice day.

Good....  game on then.  Lets go Stamps!!!

End of the 1st qtr.

7-0 for BC.

Book offering CGY +4.5 right now.

Whoa....  did I ever get this game wrong.  13-0 for toothless Lions. 

No spread given at playnow.  They suck.  They have Calgary 3.25 and BC 1.27 

13-0 for BC.

2 missed FG's for CGY. Rene!

Did you all see the gay pride colours on CFL.ca site?  

Please CFL.....  Stay out of political agendas and focus on football.  Only football!!!

13-3 for BC.  Rene hit one.

Almost at the end of the 1st half.  Hmm.

Not my fav situation.

Over bettors might be raising an eyebrow right about now.

Just before the half.

got Stamps 3.7 for game now. 

I hate doing this!  Gulp.

CGY -1.5 to start the 2nd half.

@ reduced juice even.

Look BC has been dominate so far this 1st half.  If they were playing at home, this would be awesome.

I am going to side with the home team, looking to make a game of this.

What is the worst thing a visiting team can do... Let the home team Hang Around.

Lions roar tonight! No Rourke, no problem---tomorrow going with Hamilton +5.5 or whatever they will still be getting.

Looking like 0-2 for tonight.

Time to go to bed.

Back tomorrow.
