BC -3 over HAM 110/110 Don't overrate Hamilton off of one performance over dreadful Saskatchewan. BC will provide a stiff test at home and if I learned anything last week is that small home favorites are a slightly better bet that small road dogs. Should be some points scored here as BC's pass defense is dreadful as is Hamilton. Hamilton proved that it can use its weapons effectively against bad defense last week against Saskatchewan. HAM avgs 29.9 (30) points per game and BC avg 26.2 (26). I expect the total right around there with BC on top. Which is why we are adding
HAM/BC OVER 49.5 110/100 110/100
I believe this total is too low that we have 4-5 points value at worst here. Last week was a ssn low point total across the league and I think we get back to high scoring affairs in this game.
TOR/WIN UNDER 46.5 110/100
This is one game I do not think is going over the projected total. Maybe because two weak offensive teams are hooking up this will turn into a shootout because of turnovers but I doubt it. There could be a defensive touchdown and a special teams touchdown and we still might not go over. TOR is supposed to be a power run team and is averaging 75 rushing yards per game.
EDM +3.5 AT CALGARY 110/100
3.5 points is a steal for a team that is rolling to start the season. Hopefully there is still some value to EDM yet still. Calgary has not looked solid the first 3 weeks and yet has found a way to win. EDM has looked impressive and is not turning the ball over (CGY is). CGY is struggling again in the kicking game and on special teams. Ricky Ray is playing better than Henry Burris at the moment. I think EDM takes this down to the wire.
MTL -11.5 over SAK 110/100
Anthony Calvillo and his team seem to have a good grasp on history and a good sense of business about them. I do believe MTL will repeat as a 3-time champ and that is very easy to make that pick the way they are playing right now. They might roll 500 yards on this SAK defense that is in disarray. The SAK offense is not much better managing a whopping 3 points last week. The team stays on the road and you can't tell me that MTL isn't a little improved and SAK is much worse than when they met in Week 2. MTL dominated by 2 TD on the road and I don't see that margain shrinking here at home, providing some good value.
My last play I like this week is MTL/SAK OVER a lower number like 54. The teams poured it on late in the last meeting scoring early and often. My biggest concern is the MTL defense is good but not great, but plays with excitement and makes big plays and hits. The SAK offense has been abysmal and might not be able to keep up its end of the bargain. So I will hold off for a while on making this play.
Season to date:
7 wins 8 losses -180
Week 1: 2-1 +90
Week 2: 3-4 -140
Week 3: 2-3 -140
Sides: 3-5
Totals: 4-2

Very impressed with the Edmonton defense last week. They controlled BC's passing game until garbage time. Ray was on auto pilot the first part of the game as well. If he can get time to throw he will pick apart Calgary's secondary. I might take a look at Edmonton straight up in this game.

Montreal has a rookie tackle starting, but he is also 6'7 325 lbs so if anything he will take up some space.
Sask released defensive vet Tad Kornegay... James Patrick looks like he is moving to wideside CB to replace him. (Kornegay did not like playing the position as it did not allow him to be active in most plays).
Montreal has Jamel Richardson back, which is good for them.
My $$$ is on the Al's -11.5.
I need this game to keep me alive!

Like your coaching ratings TC---------------Dead on with the bottom 3. I like Reed I'd put him ahead of LaPolice
Hopefully we will like the picks this week as much as the coaching rankings!!
I think Reed definitely walks and talks coaches already like he's going to be very successful no matter where he's at ... doing a GREAT job early this year
I also like what LaPolice did last year with no talent to speak of, his team battled to the finish (9 games within 4 points or less all losses is astounding) same as this year on "O" really they win games with D and special teams. Flying to the football the DBs really check receivers well.

MTL is a fast scoring team gets off to very quick starts
I know this game was tied at halftime last time
But SAK is in dissaray and on the road for the second straight week
Just very confident in the Als at this point
I am overly confident in the Al's as well. I just do not see how Saskatchewan can keep up with the Montreal offense. If Saskatchewan isn't scoring every other possession they are going to find themselves down BIG in a small amount of time. Frustration will set in and they will self-destruct possibly worse than last weekend. I already have 1000 on Montreal but am debating adding another 1250.
11.5 points is alot -- but I fucking love this spot man
Last season Montreal had back-to-back home games in July. They won the first one by 23 (vs. Hamilton) and the second one 7 days later by 31 (vs. Toronto). I state this because it shows that Montreal has the capacity to cover by a LARGE amount.
You also look at the CFL Power Ranking through each of the first three weeks, Saskatchewan has been at the BOTTOM of the league through all three weeks.
I see Calvillo putting up atleast 35 points this weekend. They put up 30, 39 and then 33* (7 points on the last play of the game don't count) in the first 3 games.
The next question is, will the Rider's be able to put up at least 27 points needed to cover?

All the attention is on the WIN defense and for good reason, they are flying to the ball and creating havoc with their pass rush.
But the TOR defense has held passing games in check allowing 187 to HAM, 165 to WIN and only 307 to the rolling Als
WIN on the other hand has been dreadful through the air, they did score a long TD pass against CAL but that was thanks to dreadful tackling that play should have been stopped for a 25 yard gain
Their totals have been 151, 165 and 236 yards so for this bet to go over WPG would need to post a season high in passing yardage against a stingy pass D, in their 2nd meeting in 4 weeks
Then there is the health of QB Pierce he is as fragile as an elderly lady and has not impressed completing 55 percent of his passes
If he comes out they have Alex Brink and Justin Goltz good luck with that
WR Carr is questionable and T. Edwards is the only downfield threat I have seen
Adds up to another abysmal performance through the air
On the other side we have Chet Lemon
And Cory Boyd is out again, not that Kackhart isn't a capable replacement but...
