Early leans:

Montreal
Winnipeg
Saskatchewan
Calgary

I think the Roughriders want to make amends for blowing the big lead in Edmonton last week.
Looking like a big play.

Tor -3 44.5
Peg -9.5 47.5
Sask -4 49.5
Cal-2 50

Good Luck everybody!

I'm on Cal/B.C. o 50.

Calgary looks dicey, after being blown out two straight games played a less than stellar game against an undermanned toronto club this past week.

hi manly, yeah I'm not big on Calgary for any side bet; it was the over I took.

What am I missing with this BC vs. Calgary game? I have only watched a handful of CFL games ever, but have kept up to date on stats and standings... Does Calgary even have a chance of beating BC? Why the fvck are they favored in this game? Why should I not drop a couple thousand on the BC ML? WTF is up with this game? Calgary's defense is sloppy and BC has been fillin it up!

Please tell me what I am missing with this game... Checker, I do like the OVER play in this game... I need some light shed on the Lions being a 2 point underdog, PLEASE!

BC QB Dave Dickenson didn't dress last game vs Hamilton and not sure if he will start/dress against Calgary.

Early pre-season reports said Calgary had lots of talent and firepower and it would only be a matter of time before it all came together.

Peyton2Marvin06, I was surprised a little when I saw the opening pointspread too, and rationalized it with betplom's points. I have a feeling Calgary might gel a little and do all right, but not at B.C.'s expense; hence my choice for an over 50 play . . . probably my only play this weekend.

"SURREY, B.C. (CP) - B.C. Lions quarterback Dave Dickenson, who has been suffering concussion-like symptoms since a July 13 game in Regina, will remain on the sidelines for an indefinite period."

This might explain the line. Calgary starting to look better.

Thursday July 26 CFL:

Taking Toronto -2.5

MTL couldn't handle the Sask defense last game and were terrible on offense. Toronto's D is just as tough.

As I write this, Pinnacle has Toronto -3 -110.

I got the Argos at -2.5 -105 yesterday.

I'll be cheering for this one right from the Rogers Centre (aka Skydome), you might see me on TV, I'll be the guy in the endzone wearing the Argos cap!

That'll help us spot you for sure, lol . . .

Boy does McMahon stink!!

0-2, sacked (looked like a deer in the headlights), intercepted once. No chance.

At least Coach Clemons had the right idea and yanked him late in the first qtr. McMahon needs much improvement.

I don't think I'll bet on the Argos again until Bishop is healthy and starts as QB.

I've warmed up to and played the Stamps here for a unit at -2. I also have the over 50 for a unit.
