Your not kidding that Hamilton sucks once again this year. If my memory serves me correctly, they lost and didn't cover there first 4 games last year.

Depending on the line, my big play for the week will be on the Argos.
According to TSN today the Argos will be starting QB Bishop and not the old man Damon Allen. This plus the fact Hamilton cant score TD's and have a poor defence makes me like Toronto alot.
Hoping the opening line will be Argos -9.5 or better.

Micheal Bishop is a disaster waiting to happen. I don't believe he's the answer. His M.O. is look great in relief but when it's time to start and teams prepare for him, he struggles enourmously. I think when McMahon gets his shot (and i believe it's inevitable when Bishop eventually fails) that his game will suit the CFL to a tee and once he gets the job it will be his for the season.

I agree Bishop isn't the answer for the Argos, however, I think he is more than competent enough to beat Hamilton.
He did look good in his limited play against BC.
I'm looking forward to seeing Mcmahon.

Bishop can at least scramble if need be though guys, which does give him a big advantage.

From Pinnacle:
Canadian Football - Sat 7/7
Toronto -4.5 -105
Hamilton +4.5 -105
Edmonton +6 -105
B.C. Lions -6 -105
These games are "circled" and Pinny will only allow me to bet a max of $530 on each event.

In my experience on the day of the game the limits increase to a more reasonable number! I haven't bet any CFL yet this year so we'll see if it holds true.

I like Calgary +1 @ Saskatchewan. Calgary has a lot of offensive weapons and although the green riders beat up on the Als last week it was more a case of Calvillo and company being out of sync that the riders defense shutting them down.

Toronto -4.5 looks good at first glance but this will be such a low scoring game with 2 inept offenses that its hard to give up any points here. This could turn into a 16-13 blooper bowl. Also, Maas will be on a VERY short leash this week and if Timmy Chang comes into the game with time to do anything, this could turn into a different game.
I'll be sitting in the stands at this debacle. Have pity on me.

Good call Checker. I wasn't sure what to make of that game. mostly because I couldn't believe that Montreal was as bad as they looked in week 1.
Winnipeg is off to a flying start but I don't expect them to keep it up for long. I think we'll be fading them after week 4 or 5.
