The thread is open to all those that want to share something positive.
Looking back we actually had 2 home teams win and cover in week 5. Maybe it was scheduling or coincidence I don't know but the roadies sure did well in the first 4 weeks. It should settle down and the one sided run is probably over, but there is still plenty of value on the road dogs in our future.
Winnipeg @ED
Short and sweet, Rookie head coach and poor D and big favorites every week ??? lower these lines or fade ED! New QB in for Peg might help a little bit. All i can focus on is ED laying Double digits again. Fade this team ED squad until the book corrects these lines.
Sask @ Montreal
Crap fest! No lines and who is starting at QB ? The play is sask but how many units. Fade bad teams as favorites If sask is a favorite on the road I will have no clue what to do. Looking past this game for now.
BC @Calg
Lot of entertainment to be had in the game of the week.
BC I think is starting the wrong QB again. Lulay is no prize but I think he is still the better option. BC does a lot of good to compensate for poor QB play. Nice running game and great D.
Calgary has been the class of the CFL the past few years. Since the year 2000 they are 98-76 ats 22 games above 500 covering! 56%! this week finds them at home in revenge of week 1.
The only thing I dont like about Calg this year is their schedule. 2 games against Winnipeg and its hard to get a true feeling of who this team is against real teams. BC is real and in serious grey cup contenders if they can find solid QB play. Like the home team in this spot a little bit but nothing serious. Calgary going for 4 ats covers in a row.
Sunday Argo's @Ottawa
The Argo's have taken care of business against teams with bottom QB play, or in Sasks case a team thats finding its way.
Wins: @sask @BC and this week home to the Al's
Losses to Hamilton and Ottawa. Understandable.
Need to get QB injury status and will add more info as the week moves along. Ott will be favored.
Early summary
Peg and sask will be plays.
Calg and Ott should find 2 home wins.
No action yet.

No way in heLL I lay road points with Sask. That wouldn't be a value opportunity.
Listen as bad as Montreal played and as many penalties and mistakes, the still had there share of opportunities to cover that spread. It's not like they are totally inept. I still think the line is Montreal a tiny 1 or 2 favorite at worst a pick at the open.

I just got some Argo's @ +8. Lock? No! But here is the thing Besides the fact that I don't know the starting QB yet. Harris was walking around durring the game. What a difference a year makes. The Ottawa team played Peg and Sask the 2 worst teams last year and the biggest line in those games was - 4.5 ?
Now they are laying 8 ? Can they cover the 8? Yes of course. The Argo's are looking to be a .500 club or there abouts.
Ottawa most certainly is good, but I like the +8 enough to take a side.

I am not touching the Sask Als game iluntil I have QB information and mull it over more. I have a good read on these squads but match them up and it gets a bit murky.
In the end I may just take a shot with Sask because that is the team I targeted to improve the most this year. But on the other hand this isn't a great spot after an upset and a true rookie's first road game. He is decent QB but he still is s back up. Also Sask offensive line breaks down and he holds the ball.
Anyway it's on my radar but there are no flashing lights.

Ahhh okay Ray out 3-5 weeks. I just read it. 8 makes sense now but I still took the 8 and I still like it. Obviously not as much but cmon my statement holds. Last year to peg and Sask -4.5 tops this year 8. Argo's are still a better squad than those two teams last year.

Once again, the CFL is lacking QB's and we are only 6 weeks into the new season. These QB's seem to get injured so often which makes this league a hard league to cap because some of the other QB's aren't well known.
What do the Cats do? Do they start Collaros after 10 months on the sidelines or do they keep going with Masoli who had a career game vs the Esks the other night? They may start Masoli and ease Collaros back into the role for week 7.
Ray is gone for a few weeks. Big loss? I am not so sure. Last in the league for passing yards per game. Maybe their 2nd string QB will offer more yards. The Redblacks may tear the Argo's a new one considering they are putting up over 500 yards per game and Harris's injury isn't as bad as first thought. Hope Harris plays against his old club and shows them what they are missing out on..
GL this week buddy, plenty of time to cap these games..

Harris and Burris both banged up!!! Could see a more conservative get the ball out take no chances in the pocket offense too. Hard to predict coaching. With only 2 downs running isn't really an option.

Durrant sounds like a good possibility for the start this week. That doesn't mean an automatic cover. Bad ATS teams aren't real strong on the road where covering the spread means winning the game. Even if it is Montreal and Cato im not so excited about this match up. Maybe stew on it.

The ugly girl in the miniskirt now has my attention.....leaning Als.
I will definitely keep sharp objects away from myself this weekend if I were to take BOTH the Peggers and the Als.
You must be contagious because I am now thinking,..."could a team (like the Als) actually screw up badly two times in a row?"
They are a professional football team, and maybe despite their many issues, perhaps they won't throw a red zone pick, they won't screw it up inside the 3 yard line with 30 seconds to go, they won't throw unnecessary challenge flags, the offensive tackles will block the guys in front of them, and the kicker will kick the ball through the uprights once in awhile.
Some of those things a man ponders...

All I am saying is this is a tuff one to call. If Durrant is back they should be better on offens. But I am not convinced this team is winning many road games this year even with him. Maybe the Al's are a team they can beat on the road but I want to know for a fact who Montreal is starting at QB and I will do more digging today.
The line isn't a good one for Sask but again I am reverting back to a 3 win team without a QB in Durrant for that assumption. It's too early to decide and after a big win and the opening line being +1.5 I wasn't ready to use my knife and fork and dig in.
I love Sask in general because there are going to be some quality situations this year, so far I doubt this week is one of them.

Mtl playing on 3 days rest? Is this unprecedented? Can't imagine them having full tanks in the 2nd half....O line will gas out I imagine....that leads to trouble for struggling offence

Short and sweet, Rookie head coach and poor D
and big favorites every week ??? lower these lines or fade ED! New QB
in for Peg might help a little bit. All i can focus on is ED laying
Double digits again. Fade this team ED squad until the book corrects
these lines.
Next week take ED + points
