Wow, what a week six. I don’t even know where to begin with that so I’m not going to. What a week for the under dogs.
On to week 7 picks. I hope things are back to normal, but who knows. I haven’t seen the pro-line odds yet so I’m gonna pick before hand. I may or may not change my decisions once the odds are published.
Calgary @ Montreal: Two 3-3 teams. Calgary has scored more, but has also let more in. I think I’m gonna call this one a tie.
Saskatchewan @ Toronto: The Riders. Toronto is in a bit of a tough QB situation. I don’t think they have it in them.
Winnipeg @ BC: Winnipeg. Looks like Dickenson won’t be back any time soon. I think the Bombers are looking to redeem themselves after that humiliation in Hamilton. They have the talent. Assuming of course they pull their collective heads out of their asses first.
Hamilton @ Edmonton: Edmonton. Hands down. I think the Eskimos are going to shut them down big time.
UPDATE: Ok the Pro-line odds are out and a I stand by my picks. $5 will get you $191.
Ok. I found a lottery outlet while I was on my way go golfing so I do have some picks this week.
Toronto @ Montreal - This one was tough. The odds favour Montreal, but I think it could go either way. Since I thought the rest of them are a easy pics, I bought two tickets. One with Montreal winning, the other with Toronto.
Saskatchewan @ BC - Pretty cut and dried. BC will take this one. I don’t think BC is going to lose many games this year.
Winnipeg @ Hamilton - Not much to say here either. Winnipeg. When was the last time a team went the entire season with out winning a game?
Calgary @ Edmonton - Again, pretty cut and dried. Edmonton.
A $5 bet on Pro-Line will get you $96 if Toronto wins. $55 if Montreal wins.
Have a good weekend and keep it real.
Hey Scott Mitchel, I’ve got some advice for you. Suck it up and quit whining. The only thing people hate more then a bad sport is a whiny loser who tries to point the finger at every one but himself for his predicament. How you got to be president of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with that kind of attitude I’ll never know.
I realize you are currently sitting at 0-5 and by all means looking like you will be 0-7 in a couple of weeks thanks to up coming games against Winnipeg and Edmonton. I’ve played various sports through out my life and most recently Ultimate Frisbee for 10 years now. I’ve played on enough bad teams in my life and been in the same situation and there is no one to blame but yourself.
You complained that the last play field goal attempt by Westwood was “disgusting”. Again I say, suck it up and quit whining. Of the bad teams I’ve played on we’ve had many an ass kicking administered to us. What I hated the most of it was when the other team realizes they’re going to win something like 15 to 2 and they start bringing their level of play down to “give us a chance”. I’ve always felt that is an insult. If you’ve got the ability to score on us that much I’ve always said do it. Run it up as much as you can, but be a good sport about it. I’m not going to whine and say the should not have tried to get that last point. That’s not sporting.
I’m stil on holiday this week with no access to a lottery booth, so again this week there will be no picks.
Enjoy the great weather and stay cool.
As you know by know I didn’t have any week picks. Nor did I comment on my week 4 picks. I am holidays with limited access to the internet and a Western Canada Lotteries outlet.
I will say that I’m rather pissed at the Bombers for almost handing back the game to Montreal. They were up by 7 or so points then let them march down the field and score.
I will be back for Week 6. See you soon and stay cool.
Winnipeg @ Montreal - This one is making me scratch my head. I’m really on the fence with this one. Considering how close Montreal was against Hamilton I think they are having a lot of problems this year. Cavillo seems to spend more time on his back then looking for receivers. Winnipeg really should have scored more against Edmonton. These two teams have always butted heads and played some really close games. I think Winnipeg has the traction to stick it to Montreal except for the distraction of Milt trying to break the record. Once that is out of the way Winnipeg is going to settle down and play some really solid football. My gut is telling me Winnipeg.
Hamilton @ BC - Not too much to say about this. Even with BC’s QB problems I’m going to have to go with BC. Their defense is just too good for the Tabbies
Saskatchewan @ Edmonton - Another cloudy one. If Edmonton had lost in Winnipeg last week I’d be picking Western Riders hands down. Still my gut is telling me Edmonchuck on this one.
Toronto @ Calgary - They may be down their starting QB, but that isn’t a problem with the depth they have in that position. Another easy win for Toronto. Should be a reply of last week except on in Calgary.
Update: Ok, I’m against the odds on Winnipeg @ Montreal and Toronto @ Calgary. OK I can see the Winnipeg @ Montreal choice, it might go either way, I can’t believe they’re calling Calgary. If these picks are correct, $5 will get you $80 on Pro-line.
Calgary at Toronto - Toronto took the boots to Calgary. As pridicted.
Edmonton at Winnipeg - So close. Leave it to the Bombers to lose to a team that didn’t make the playoffs last year. I should have listened to that little voice. Even if they had got that last TD with 2 seconds left they still wouldn’t have covered the spread.
BC at Saskatchewan - BC brought a whole truck load of Whoop-Ass with them. Against the odds as predicted.
Montreal at Hamilton - Surprisingly close. Two teams that can’t seem to get any traction this year. Is Montreal going down or Hamilton going up?
Week four looks a little cloudy so stay tuned true believers.
Here are my picks for pro-line for week 3 in the CFL. No science here, just some gut feels.
Calgary at Toronto - Toronto. Even though it was the Ti-Cats last week, Toronto still looked pretty strong.
Edmonton at Winnipeg - Winnipeg. It goes against my better judgment to bet with the Bombers as of the last couple years, but I have a bit of a home town soft sport for them and their Defense looked pretty good last week. I don’t think Stegal’s number is up for the record for a couple of games yet either. I think he’ll do it in Hamilton on the 27th. Once the presure is off watch for him to rack of a bunch more.
BC at Saskatchewan - BC. Going against the odds on this one. Both teams looked pretty good so far, but BC is just more solid over all. I think either of them are ripe to be in Toronto come November.
Hamilton at Montreal - Montreal. Both teams are not firing on all cylinders. Maas’ playing injured and Chang still seems pretty green. Either way if the Aoulette even bring their half ass game they’ll walk out with a win.
I in no way endorse gabling or stand behind any of these picks, but if you choose to $5 will get you $72 on Pro-Line.
