Season to date 57-31, last week 3-2
As long as things are going well, I'll keep picking.....if I had used these picks only I coulda/woulda/shoulda been in the top ten in the KOC contest. Well, most of life is like that, right?
1) Edmonton +1-
Edmonton is probably playing as well as anyone with the exception of Calgary. Teams that can throw are good bets on the road, (witness what Phillip Rivers did to the Falcons this week).
Perhaps because the Eskimos have eaten some yellow snow is why the bookies have made them underdogs this week.
2) Winnipeg -5
The West is 26-9 ATS versus the East this year, I am looking for it to continue for the most part this week with the exception of......
3) Montreal +9-
Vernon Adams is an athletic freak,.....like him soooo much more than Cato. He doesn't know the offense, but he scrambles around, causing havoc and exhausting the opponents' defense,....he's great to watch. He takes waaay to many hits, which could shorten his career, but for the time being, he's someone I'd tune into a game specifically to watch. He played last week with a couple of receivers that were new too, so perhaps with another week of practice to get synchronized versus a mostly disinterested foe, they can get under the line.
4) BC -2-
Still liking Wally in most of his matches and Jennings is a refined version of Adams. Jennings will still make some rookie mistakes in errors of judgement but he is like a blur when he uses his legs. The Sasquatches though much improved, will have to find a similar qb for their future.
5) Winnipeg/Ottawa UNDER 55.
Pure regression play to the UNDER....these teams have been playing mostly overs and I look for Peg's defense to ramp it up this week.
So, the picks are in....I have no knowledge of the playoff seeding ramifications for these teams/games other than that Calgary has clinched everything possible. Usually that kind of knowledge is built into the line and those teams that have "must wins" are long-term losers against the spread, as those teams with nothing to lose play relaxed and those teams that need to win play uptight and tend to choke.
BOL this week.
