Whilst everyone is getting drunk & betting on the NFL this Divisional weekend,

I am pouring over the just released CFL schedule & drinking a beer, lol.

Pre-Season week 1, Mon May 19.

Looks like the schedule makers are already trying to create tension between OTT & MTL.

These 2 teams play Preseason week 2, Preseason week 3 & then play Regular season week 2.

I am already calculating Rest Advantage for each team throughout the entire 2025 season!

God Bless the CFL!

Only 4 months to go, lol.

This time of the year, you have to be fast!

That line moved to PHI -0.5

GB putting in "subs" , that will cost them in the 2nd Half.

Score 0-10

PHI +0.5 to start the 2nd Half.

L

Score 3-6 for Dallas.

DAL +5.5 to start the 2nd Half.

GL

MIN +3 pts to start the 2nd Half.

TOL +4.5 to start the 2nd Half.

Score 12-20

GL

Vmf

Why not.

I have SJS 1st Half (ML) -1.10

Merry Christmas.

That's right.  Pre-pandemic and for years before that, books would post an "actual" 2nd Half line.

This afternoon Tul/Fla score was 0-6 at the Half.

2nd Half line posted was +/- 4.5

That line matched the "live" line +/- 10.5 at the Half.

Back in the day books actually had someone posting an independant 2nd Half line.

It was awesome!  You had to keep refreshing your browser, waiting for that line!

When the line did not match the score at the Half it was time to pounce!!

Now it just mimics the "live" line at the Half.

Game after game.  Hmm.  

Now there is no more difference between the full game at the Half and the 2nd Half line posted.

Too Bad.

I guess I am just getting old, lol.

Anything can happen in the 2nd Half.

I'll take the +4.5

Interesting 2nd Half line.

I took JM +3.5 in game @ the half.

2nd Half line @ my book was JM -3 to start the 2nd Half.

So I can lay -3 2nd Half or take +3.5 in game!

I took JM +3.5 for the full game, rather than bet the 2nd Half.

Make sense?

books are playing games within the games, lol.

Be careful.

That's how I see it.

365 +2.5

Anyone had about 7 mins to bet that line.

PHI +2.5 pts to start the 2nd Half.

GL

I'll take it.

Before the game even starts...

I like the 2nd Half, OVER 16.5 to start the 2nd Half.

GL

TD TOR!

Score 24-16 for TOR.

That was a BIG play for me!

7 mins to go in the 4th QTR.

PHEW!!

Denver Broncos +4 points to start the 2nd Half.

Pizza is in the fridge.

Waiting to go into the oven.

Thanks HayHay2

TOR vs WPG : Last 10 times these 2 teams played each other.

TOR scored 21 or more against WPG 6 out of 10 times.

Then you have to look at home/road splits VS it being the Grey Cup & on it goes.

I just want to eat my pizza & hope we have an exciting Grey Cup.

Things only get exciting in the CFL when it's a shoot out.

I don't think the league wants a 7-14 type of a game.

The last thing this league needs is a snooze fest after the league commissioner just walked away from the job.

2 good coaches, throw in a trick play or two and viola.

In my opinion this is the best bet on the board for this game.
