O/U regular season wins guesses

Not good news out of Bomber

Meant to say, not good news out of Bombers practice. Nicholls left practice with apparent knee injury

Nicholls out 4-6 weeks

Grabbed a piece of Bombers U10.5 wins while it was still at plus money. Pretty manageable early-season schedule, but this should drop them from faves to dogs vs EDM Week 1 and @ HAM Week 3, and the home-and-home series with BC in a month suddenly looks really tricky. Still love the Bombers and will be watching futures prices if they struggle early to try to buy in at a discount.

Bomber under looks great.  Their Defense in past years has been horrid.  With out Nichols bad days are ahead.

I like the Green Riders 

Looks like a shrewd move Skellman, what site did you see the season wins posted? ....I've heard the Streveler has a chance to be a star and why else would Durrant retire unless he knew he'd be a third string qb?....more than likely he won't be a star right away..

With four good teams in the West, all it takes is a good qb going down to change the balance of power.

If I were to set a power ratings change I'd take 6 points off of the Bombers for Nichols going down, without seeing how the backup looks.

I'll put up my lines (not what I think Vegas will put up) for week 1......I'm sure Hoody will chime in somehow, somewhere.....

Peggers  +3      Eskimos        56

RRiders   -6      Argos            49

Calgary   -9      Tiger Cats      50

Lions      -6       Alouettes      52

I've got the T'Cats to win it at 10/1 and I'm  sticking with my opinion they win the East, get a first round bye and host the conference final.  The only scenario I wouldn't like is if Edmonton gets to play in the Grey Cup on their home field with 51,000 fans in attendance.

Ok, so season wins......biggest opinions

1)  Riders OVER 8.5    Riders have a chance to win the division

2)  Argos UNDER 9.5  Don't expect they'll be over 500 this year.

And, for all of my adoring fans....this betting tidbit.

Play any dog in game number 4 or less.  

116-63 ATS, 87-93 straight up going AGAINST the favorite, the average line has been 4.8.  Non-divisional games (65.9%) have done slightly better than divisional games (63.6%).

Preseason is over...CFL has it right in having the teams play only a couple of games.

I haven't watched any of the preseason games, but have read that the quarterback situation is up in the air in Hamilton and Sasqatchewan....you locals will inform me soon enough of who is starting.

Me?  I'm taking Brandon Bridge EVERY TIME over Collaros, as I think he has the "it" factor to make a difference for the Sasquatches.  Coaches rarely think the it factor is important and use practice time performance  to make their decisions and maybe they think Bridge will better providing a spark off the bench and hey, maybe Collaros has been the better practice player in camp for the Sasquatches.   

Sure, ok.........but anyone who has played sports has seen guys light it up on the practice field who can't produce under the lights.    Having seen  Bridge play in games last year, I am putting him as a starter from the beginning and putting the franchise on his back.

Hamilton?  I think either guy will be ok.  If Manziel is off whatever he has been on, he is a pretty intriguing possibility....there's not many guys that put 40+ up on Alabama's defense playing football.  If he hasn't totally lost it I'm guessing he'll be like a homerun hitter in baseball where he hits it out of the park a few times, but also strikes out quite a bit........a bi-polar quarterback with high touchdowns and high interception rate.  If I'm in Canada I'm paying to see him play.  We'll see the magic of June Junes soon enough and whether he can "abra cadbra" Manziel's career.

Oughta be an interesting year, with the normal last 3 minute comebacks that makes or breaks teams and bettor's seasons.

Let the craziness begin.

Very nice Aussie,...if we eliminate home dogs this goes to 23-4 ATS.

You're having a pretty great WNBA season....maybe the magic translates over to another code.

Let's hope so.
