Calgary- Montreal Total 56?

I very rarely play an under in the CFL but this total jumped out at me with Drew Tate being out and Calvillo being questionable for the Als. I realize Kevin Glenn is a veteran and played good in relief of Tate, but that total seems too high in what could be a matchup of 2 backup qb's..

Any thoughts on this matchup?

I haven't heard anything about that but MacPherson for Montreal is probably the best backup in the league. Hardly played last year so that AC could get his CFL record and has pretty good stats considering he played a few [ last game or two of the season games ]  with most of the regulars resting.

I like under but would rather have Calvillo at QB for it. He turtles bigtime at his age under pressure where MacPherson is a very good scrambler.

calvillo is playing

and also where are these lines your seeing?

would you be able to post them all??

thanks

Coverlane..

Please. I'm dying to hear who the best backup is in the CFL. ( and please do not say KG)

I must have missed the memo.

Last I heard backups are not necessarily available just because that is the role they fulfill. I do not know how far back you go with this game but the Als learned that lesson about 8 years ago when they had the absolute worse backup in the league by the name of Ted White. The guy was an out of shape lineman at best and it cost the Als a pretty certain Grey Cup back in 2004 when Calvillo went down at the half in the Eastern Final against the Argos. This is a game where they would have pounded the Argos if AC could finish out.

The moons were really aligned that year when Blundering Buono decided to hand the Argos the Grey Cup when he chose to start Dickinson over Casey Printers .

I actually had the pleasure of sitting at a Ticats game 2 years later with BC owner, David Brayley, who as much admitted that was a major judgement boner on Coach Wally's part.

Adrian would have easily been picked up by another team but he accepted the Als offer because he figured Calvillo would be gone by end of 2011.

Just my humble .02

RF1,

These lines are from 5dimes:

Montreal: 5 1/2 Total: 56

Edmonton: 1 1/2 Total: 45

BC: 2 1/2 Total: 54

Hamilton: 3 1/2 Total: 54 1/2

Edmonton: 1 1/2 Total: 45

After i heard that Calvillo was going to play i decided to wait thinking that most totals seem to rise the day of the game, i was hoping it would get to 56 1.2 or 57...it;s down to 55 now.
