I am not surprised by the list.  If you include some offensive numbers you could move Edmonton up the list a bit.  Edmonton has been poor the last 6 quarters but in a long season it&#x27;s ebbs and flows.  Edmonton offense has lots of talent.  See if that helps them this week.

IMO, point differential with turnover usage should measure their offense at least sufficient enough..... Less is more when using a metric.... But I'd say a minimum of two stats to come up with one. .

What do you think of Burris this coming week ????? Or is he back on the bench?

Here is my take on my ways. You follow the players and it difficult. This isn't the NFL where they give info on injury reports. Even the NFL doesn't do a good job of keeping you informed. Even when you know the starters and even when the back ups are playing you don't know what is going to happen or how it's going to play out.

I am not saying ignore injuries or ignore who is playing well. What I am saying is in 2 down football things change fast. Edmonton lights it up first half then they lose it and haven't found it since. I look less about the field and more about the lines and covering spreads. I look for line comparisons and buy low and sell high. Those are my metrics, I guess it's all numbers but just in a different light than you.

Do your thing it's working very very well.

The thing I like about you is you keep it very simple very disciplined and consistent. Very good job !!!

As for your question there is nothing about Harris or Burris on CFL.ca.  When I looked last night,  Covers has Harris out for 6 weeks.

One more thing I do is study teams. Get a feel of what they do or don't do well. I try and find guys on covers that follow the players and personnel. Driver one is awesome at that. Suuma (in the NFL forum) is great at breaking down NFL talent. I look at offseason moves and drafts do I know if teams are trending up or down.

Broncos lost personnel, Jaguars are loading up on D, along with an above average and exciting offense. Concentrate on a few teams and see if it is playing out the way you thought going in.

Coming into the CFL this season my focus was on 2 teams.

Team 1: Saskatchewan

This is easy because I looked back and they were horrible the last 2 years at hovering spreads. The other thing is they only won 3 games in 2015. Knowing that you look at offseason moves. Did they make any big upgrades if you look back they were horrible on offense. What did they do to improve. Then you look at a few weeks and you can tell yes they are going to be good or nope same old same old.

Sorry if it's a long rant but this is my approach.

Team 2 :

Edmonton. I read Drivetimes early season report on here and found out that edmontons D lost key personnel and they were consistently highly favored. In football it's very difficult to cover as 7 point favorites, or in their case even higher, if you have a crappy Defense.

This is how I beat the books keeping it simple and watching team tendencies and see them play out. Then knowing or having a feel of who should be favored and how much.

I am not going to say that I predicted all these dogs but I will say I am doing my thing and it's working for me.

In the NFL I have some key teams and the same goes for college. College is real tough because you have to see a few games to get a feel of improvement or nope same , same.

Well lol you asked so I gave you what I have
