Here we go! 
Thursday
Riders @
Alouettes
After a horrible first 12 weeks the Als finished up last year 6-1 ATS, and won their last 3 games all as dogs.
Since the Riders really failed to make a stronger move to get a higher quality QB and they were never a road favorite last year. I will make the Riders a dog again. I expected more from the ownership and mgmt. I expected them to address their issues at QB and as it looks right now it is a work in progress.
This is a sh!t fest and since it is the first game the only way I get involved if the line jumps out at me.
Maybe Indigo has a special query for this one. Dogs rule in this league, but they would even be better if you eliminated the Riders from those ATS records.
The good news for this match up is the Riders look so bad in their last pre-season game. I know it is pre-season and it shouldn't make a difference, but the starters did play in the first half. (yea I had one eye on this game. The only pre-season game I watched.)
Friday night the lights shine on the Grey Cup re-match part 1 ( they face each other in part 2 in week 2)

Red Blacks
I never understood why Drew Tate was the back up but I guess that is why I have a keyboard in front of me. Well Tate is on the Red Blacks now and will still be wearing a cap and holding the clip board. The Red Blacks are still strong at QB with 2 good one's but gone are 2 WR STUDS! According to the guys that were on their roster last year they will have still have 2 high quality possession WR's but as it looks big deep plays and red zone questions a rise for me. I didn't watch the preseason or follow any stats, but I certainly question Ottawa this year. I sense a little bit better than .500 team and would not have a lot of faith in them as favorites.
Calgary is interesting to me. They cover at such a high rate over the last 10 years or so. I am guessing there will be opportunites to make money against them at some point in the year, but I am not going to come out of the shoot both gunz a blazin fading them in week 1.

2 high quality teams in the past. Edmonton's D is in question. Going into last year I had Questions and Jennings, but he did enough to cover a nice amount of spreads. BC are strong contenders to win the cup this year.
Ticats @
Argos
Trestman is back in the CFL. Old man Ricky Ray retirement is on hold now? Can trestman save him? They need a high quality year from him or any QB to help them win. S.J. Greens healthy? That will help. As for the Ticats its Collaros or bust. I am not framiliar with their pass catchers a side from Tasker and the KR Banks. This will be interesting to watch.
