Montreal and Sasquatch qbs are holding their teams back...they can cover as dogs, because after all this IS the CFL, but they are hold-your-nose type games. I'd much rather be backing teams with quarterbacks that can play.
The refereeing the last couple of weeks has been abysmal, and hearing from long-term watchers it seems that this has been the case for a long time. Two plays in particular come to mind. Two weeks ago a touchdown was disallowed on a kick return which cost a woman a million bucks when a guy fell down 5 yards behind the play as the returner was taking the ball into the end zone...the poor guy that got called for the penalty,.....I don't know if he even touched him, but if he did he wasn't trying to block him. The play was called back due to an illegal block.
Then, this week a guy was hit as he threw and the ball went backwards, which should have been deemed a lateral and the play should have continued which would have led to a a return touchdown for the Redblacks.....THOSE are the kinds of plays that should be able to be reversed, not the pitty-pat pass interference calls. It is the errors of judgement that need to be addressed in all codes of sport. and there should be not rules or regulations that would not allow these to be changed. When I hear the words, "that play is not allowed to be overturned" I cringe because if you are going to make it a game that calls that are wrong can be righted, then those are the ones that should be.
These lines below are based on my view of the strengths of the teams, NOT what I think Vegas will put out. Last week I had, I believe the Bombers as 4 point dogs to the Lions,..they opened at 8 and moved to 4 or even less by game time. It seems there's one or two of these lines put out a week now, which I find to be interesting....there is still a human element to the linemaker's lines and I don't think they are paying that much attention to the CFL. Perhaps they don't need to as perhaps the handle on CFL games is much lower than other sports. Someone who has worked at a sportsbook could maybe verify that.
I had a guy on another thread tell me that this a crappy product, among his other infantile remarks....I expect this poster, Mommy's Boy will be making an appearance in this thread, don't you worry, he shows up like clockwork, the guy is great value...
Anyway, I don't agree that it's poor and who cares anyway?....if there's an edge, we'll be betting the Irish hopscotch finals if there's money to be made.
Winnipeg -6.5 Montreal 52
Edmonton -3 BC 58
Calgary -13 Hamilton 56
Sask +3 Toronto 55
BC and perhaps Montreal would be likely plays at close to those numbers.....Hamilton looks unbackable to me right now,, as everything seems to be wrong with them. In particular their offensive line and their secondary play has been very bad.
We'll return when lines are posted in the next 24 hours.
Good fortune.
