YTD: 5-4
Halfway point has been reached pretty much. Same teams, same league pretty much. Alouettes got a nice cover yesterday but that was because the ball security by the Redblacks was awful. Manziel still doesn't look good at all and I fear for what Reilly can do to this awful defense. If the line is lower than what the Redblacks were laying, then I will take Edmonton. If Harris can throw for over 450+ yards, Reilly might go for 550+. The Redblacks had one game plan and that was to just pass the ball as Harris made 45 completions last game and threw it over 50 times. Insane. Expect the same from Reilly.

No surprise to see the Alouettes and Argonautes in the bottom of both categories. As the season goes on, these 2 teams will be fades IMHO if the line is right.
Week #10 gives us
Redblacks @ Bombers (first meeting this season)
Lions @ Argonauts (first meeting this season)
Alouettes @ Eskimos (Eskimos won 44-23 @ Montreal
Stampeders @ Riders (Stamps won 34-22 @ Sas.
Few good games coming up with the Stamps looking untouchable. Eskimos should destroy the Alouettes whilst the game of the Week IMHO is the Redblacks @ Bombers.
Waiting on lines, BOL this week everyone
