Question

29-20 for the season.Nichols injury is HUGE.....any game he is not playing is either a fade of the Bombers or a no-play.Brandon Bridge was big for the Riders.....looks like he&#x27;ll be continuing to hold a clipboard to start the game.....which is a shame....I get it that he&#x27;ll make more mistakes than Glenn, but come on, he actually throws it down the field and can elude the rush.  He could be the XX factor that the Sasquatches need.....they have everything else.Auto-plays look to be the Tiger Cats, Stamps and Riders, and auto-fades are the Lions with Jennings and the pathetic, terrible Als.  Rushing for &gt;200 yards and losing?....that is hard to do.  In fact I decided to look it up in my database....teams that ran for &gt;200 yards were 56-13 straight up and 51-16-2 ATS, if they were dogs in the match, it went to 22-5 straight up and 24-2-1 ATS, before the Als managed to muck it up..................as they say in spanish....In-cre-DEE&#x27;-Bley (incredible).Have some time this week so will re-enact my relative strength for this week&#x27;s games.Tiger Cats &#x2B;10    StampsSasquatches -6   RedblacksBombers - 8    Lions  with NicholsBombers -3   Lions w/o NicholsEskimos -7   ArgosShame that two play-on teams are playing in the Tiger Cats/Stamps game....where are the Als when we need them?Like the Riders and if Nichols plays we will be on the Bombers versus the Lions.  In the Tiger Cats joust will only watch, but it will be a barometer of how far the Cats have come if they give the Stamps a game in their forthcoming match.

24-2-1 as dogs when rushing for &gt;200.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Bridge needs to start Indigo. He has looked great in the last 2 times he has played and Glenn is going out of fashion very quick. Just hope the coachng staff realise this and start Bridge.

Do we know how long long Nichols is out?

freakyfreddies · Answer

Glenn is starting, why I know I Iive in Regina. And Matt Nichols is starting too has been taking reps all week
My foolish picks depending the line
Hamilton to cover, Sask to cover, Winnipeg to cover and Edmonton to cover. Now indigo what are the trends

Indigo999 · Answer

Nice to have "a man on the ground" as they say Freak, you&#x27;re invaluable.As a side note, I am off to a blazing 1-2 start to the beginning of the NHL season.  That will improve....have the Bruins and the Stars the next two nights.Home non-divisional  dogs off an away win have been 7-5,....nothing spectacular and we are not much interested in this game as bucking the Stamps has been a bankroll killer.  Love the Tiger Cats now against anyone not named the Stamps or Sasquatches.  So, we will not investigate further.The lines are out by the way and it looks like Mister Bookmaker is being kind in one game....not like him to be nice, but we won&#x27;t complain.My line in brackets....1)  Tiger Cats &#x2B;10   (&#x2B;10)     Stamps2)  Sasquatches -3   (-6)      Redblacks3)  Bombers       NL  (-7)      Lions    waiting to confirm Nichols status4)  Edmonton     -7   (-7)      ArgosWestern Division teams have been 11-6 ATS as home favorites in the second half of the season the last couple of years versus the East......Sasquatches, Eskimos.   Still wouldn&#x27;t pull the trigger on the Eskimos, as teams that are home favorites that broke at least a three game losing streak the week before on the road have been 3-3 ATS.  It is a red flag for me that they gave up &gt;200 yards rushing to the anemic Als, even though they did win.  To me that signals that they have weaknesses in their run defense and teams that are away dogs that win the running battle cover over 75% of the time......so to make sure, I looked it up.Home favorites that are outrushed have been 45-174 ATS20.5%!!Non-divisional home favorites have been 23-79 ATS and non-divisional western divisional teams have been 12-49 ATS that are outrushed in the game.  I could conceivably think that I may consider the Argos here even though Rickey cannot throw more than 20 yards these days.  Taking the ugly, fugly dog is a winning strategy in the "C".James Wilder (is he playing?) and company must be licking their chops.Now on to the Sasquatches.....we&#x27;re lovin&#x27; the line they gave us.Teams off an away dog win whose opponent is off an away dog win have only been 3-5 ATS, 1-4 in non-div contests, 2-3 ATS.  If our home favorite has a better record it goes to 1-2 ATS but 2-1 against the number they&#x27;re giving us.  Not enough data really.From a fundamental point of view, we&#x27;re ok with Kevin playing qb at home, as running and defense wins at home, and if he hands off to Richardson 20 times this game, we&#x27;re thinking that is sound strategy.  It is fairly obvious to me and  AussieDownUnder that Bridge is the better quarterback and that Kevin Glenn&#x27;s days are numbered in Saskatchewan.  "Why not do it now?".....we can surmise that the coaches want the old reliable to be "The Man" the rest of the season....I think it will cost this team in the end, but this will be a season for a young team to get experience in the playoffs, they will probably get crushed by the Bombers or the Stamps and then make the necessary changes next year to make a strong push for the title the following season.

Indigo999 · Answer

Teams that allowed &gt;130 yards on the ground in an away favorite win have been 7-5 ATS and 11-0-1 straight up as non-divisional home favorites the next week..  For you teaser people, teasing the Eskimos down might be a consideration.Gets me off of considering the Argos.

BowmansAddict · Answer

as a follower of the cfl for many years now, i don't know what to make of this league or pro football in general..just a circus

u have the stampeders who destroy everyone and then u have this montreal squad who is one of the worst cfl rosters i've ever seen

How to explain calgary ever losing to them? That is the cfl in a nutshell.

I also feel that durant must be part of some type of freemasonry brotherhood amongst the cfl. What is that bum doing in the league same as Willy whos not a rookie anymore. These men never improve their game. In a league where the qb is everything, do teams not know any better?

How in all of canada do they not find better qb's than these guys? Seriously

Indigo999 · Answer

Bowman&#x27;s, nice to hear from you.....if 1/3 of the U.S. presidents could be freemasons, supposed Christian preachers and a big part of Hollywood are I suppose if they were inclined they could infest the CFL.  If you see anyone giving the freemasonry handshake, let me know.  Evidently, the only two presidents that were NOT a part of secret societies, were just coincidentally the two best presidents in USA history in JFK and Abraham Lincoln.Notice too that the NFL kicks their extra points from the 33 yard line, THE freemasonry number....American football had its roots in freemasonry and also interestingly, in betting, as two or three of the original founders of the NFL were bookmakers.  What strange bedfellows!!See ya around.

BowmansAddict · Answer

I agree completely manFreemasons have infiltrated all factions of society from teachings in school all the way to the professional sports world..Its like how we were taught that hitler shot himself at the conclusion of WW2 when in actuality he went on to live out the rest of his life in Argentina.  They never even taught us about how nazi scientists were brought over to america and joined NASA. Then u got the paid military patriotism at all sporting events now. Can&#x27;t go one game without conditioning the public into supporting these organizations that are ruining the planet IE: the USAF aersosol programs dumping toxic sh*t on mercilessly us every single day.Like i said its all a circus. The friggin freemasons at the top of the pyramid As for this weeks games: calgary doesn&#x27;t have any motivation and could have an off night...I&#x27;m on the  Hamilton ML. I also like the ottawa over 50.5...looks kinda easy though, both defenses stink. Sask doesn&#x27;t need durant, they could get rid of him completely. Bridge is a pretty good gunslinger.GL tonight

Indigo999 · Answer

Goodonya Bow....the Cats have been a cash cow for a month or so, your gonads are MUCH bigger than mine going against the Stamps. I look for the Tiger Cats to dominate the East for as long as June Junes and company are coaching them,....the CFL and Jones is a marriage made in heaven.

One official play so far:

1) Sasquatches -3

Will wait out the Nichols availability scenario.

freakyfreddies · Answer

The one thing thats concerns me will sask or Edmonton throw a game. Lets face it on the cross-over either team would win the East.

Indigo999 · Answer

Thanks PB,Pick:2)  Bombers -6Down to the business end of the season.......I&#x27;m living or dying with the fact that the Lions&#x27; Jennings is not a CFL quality quarterback....the kind of guy that wins the beautiful body contest or the "Wow, he can really throw the ball a long ways!!" contest.  It really doesn&#x27;t matter to me how far Mr. Jennings can throw the ball or how many women he lays.....he doesn&#x27;t produce on the football field,....the Lions would be better off signing me up to hand the ball off 50 times.  I&#x27;d take Matt Nichols throwing the ball left handed laying 6 over the Lions.

Indigo999 · Answer

1)  Sasquatches -3 LossAmazing, just amazing3)  Argos &#x2B;7Said I wouldn&#x27;t be playing the Esks/Argos game...changed my mind, because I like pain, and the C freakin&#x27; FL.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

The CFL at its best Indigo..Riders lead the entire way until 4 seconds left. Just amazing this league. Across all football codes, American Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union you would have to say that the CFL is the craziest out of all those mentioned across the world. No bet is ever safe at all. Liking both your plays tomorrow. You have Mr Safe (Nicholls) against Mr Pick 6 (Jennings) and I also like seeing the Bombers having a loss in their last home game. They are a team on the up and the Lions are a team on the down whilst Lulay is out injured..

Indigo999 · Answer

yeah, and the thing is I know some Canadians, Aussie,.....they seem perfectly normal......who knew?.

Chauster · Answer

GL today Indigo, on Winnipeg as well.

BowmansAddict · Answer

wow like i said, the cfl what a circushad the tigers ML and i just knew on that last play there when mitchell heaved that hail mary, that something was gonna be called and game over..I liked my chances in OT but it never got that that did have ottawa ml so sometimes life balances itself outfor the late game today i think eskimos cover..last i heard ray was fighting off a mild injury or something to the sorts..either way the argonauts are due for a DD lossGL

Indigo999 · Answer

2)  Bombers -6 tieDidn&#x27;t watch the game as I was watching my NCAA games....I suppose someone scored in the last 5 seconds to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory.  In a freak of nature, time stands still in Canada when there is a CFL game going on.

Indigo999 · Answer

3)  Argos &#x2B;6 win1-1-1 for the weekend, 30-21 ATS for the season.I have decided that I need to find Biff&#x27;s Sports Almanac before placing my next wager.  Back to the Future!See you next week.
