RIDERS -4 -110
UNDER 55.5 -105
Quarterbacks:
Projected starters: Riders - Dur-lly or Wil-rant, Cats - Burris. I'll play along with the will he or won't he play speculation about Durant. Other than his foot swelling up to the size of a volleyball on the flight, I think he plays. I thought early in the game he may not have been sharp due to the lack of practice, but you can't complain about the final results. I almost felt sorry for Hank last week....almost He really does not have a lot of playmakers around him right now. Reverse this if Darian doesn't go. In case it's Willy tomorrow, here's what I said about him last week As for Willy, we were all very impressed with him in his short yardage work early in the year, and then the big comeback win over the Bombers. But in his first start in Montreal he had a bit of a deer in the headlights thing happening, and I felt it affected his confidence the rest of the year. With better weapons on offense, a terrific running game and o-line, and a coach like Cortez getting him ready, I think we will see a much much better Willy. Edge Riders
Outlook
We can win this game if Drew Willy has to play, but this game will not be a gimme. That might be the case even with Durant. If Willy is the starter, it's really important for the Riders to get off to a good start. We don't want to face a situation where we are down early and end up in a situation where Willy is forced to throw for the Riders to comeback. This will let Hamilton to ignore the run and turn up the heat. No big plays on special teams, no breakdowns on defense, no turnovrs leading to short fields and easy scores. If we see this formula, the Riders have a more talented team across the board, and that should carry us to victory.
