Oscar's CFL Selection for Friday

CFL RECORD TO DATE 1-6 -$1494

I've been struggling to start the season in the CFL so caveat emptor if you decide to follow, there is one game tonight and here is what I am taking:

491 Hamilton/British Columbia Over 50 +1.04 $300 to win $312-So far this year Hamilton has went Under in all three contests while BC has went Over 2 out of 3 games. The Lions are a disappointing 0-3 to start the season and I was looking hard at taking them here but it is hard to lay points with a team that ranks dead last in rushing offense as well as dead last in overall defense. BC is getting very good QB play from Lulay as he has thrown for 958 yards on the year but the team has only rushed for 158 yards in the three games. Hamilton meanwhile has been susceptible to the run this year allowing both Edmonton and Winnipeg to rush for over 100 yards but last week held Saskatchewan to 45 so that will be interesting to see what happens in that department tonight. Hamilton has played great defense at home but in their only road game this year at Edmonton they allowed only 28 points but did allow the Eskimo's offense to gain a whopping 555 yards. Hamilton is 6-1 to the Over in the past 3 years in road games where the total is 49 1/2 to 52 and the last two games played in BC have went Over the total between the two clubs. The lack of an established running game should have the Lions throwing again tonight and Hamilton should be able to score some points against the terrible defense of BC. I like this game Over the total.

Best of luck to everyone tonight, keep banging away and see what happens.
