This forum is kinda dead one week away from the start of the season. I don't keep track of much of the personnel changes, except for head coaching changes and some quarterback changes.
Read that Montreal parted ways with Juron Carter....WHAT TOOK YOU SO FREAKIN' LONG?
Coaches are for me the most important part of handicapping as good coaches make stars out of players. For that reason I expect the Roughriders to improve a lot this year and that the power will be again in the West.
With apologies to Hoody who brings his compass, abacas and logorithmic tables with him to figure his power ratings out....I haven't used any of those since my dog ate them.
I am sure Vegas is ranking these teams differently than I am,....I am not predicting what the lines will be, just giving my take of the relative strengths of the teams after I had a discussion with the ghost of Albert Einstein.
Highest number is the highest rating....
Winnipeg 98
Edmonton 97
BC 96
Calgary 94
R'riders 92
Ottawa 94
Hamilton 93
Toronto 89
Montreal 88
My opinion is that Calgary suffers from a letdown season after being the dreaded runner-up despite dominating the league during the regular season last year.
Ottawa brought it when they needed to, but I think they regress this year too. Montreal I obviously have as the worst team in the league because they are the most dysfunctional and they can't seem to find a quarterback that can pass the ball. Anthony C. might've been a great qb, but I think he is clueless as an offensive coordinator....or maybe he's great and his quarterbacks have been abysmal, I don't know.
I like Winnipeg this year along with Wally and the Eskies....I expect the EE's defense will be better this year, because how can it get any worse? Can Riley keep himself from being injured though, that is the question....he is probably the most valuable player to his team in the league.
You are going to disagree with some (all) of these....so what? We'll have a friendly discussion about them, no fistfights or duels allowed. We're not taking things personally here and if you're evaluating things more clearly and would like to share, that is what it is all about.
To the people that "don't see the point" sorry 'bout that, but what's the point of showing your displeasure?...make your own thread with your own wisdom.
