Changing Winnipeg money line pick to Montreal. Strevler starting, Winnipeg playing for the crossover. 

Also changing WPG -5.5 to MON +5.5 and taking WPG off of the teaser.

Changing EDM +5.5 to Calgary to cover -5.5 and adding Calgary to the 7pt teaser at CAL +1.5

I mentioned in the 1st month of the season that BC would be better than Hamilton come end of year and even though they will likely end up with the same record, I still believe BC is the better team.

I like a Sask Montreal Grey Cup this year.

SK +1 @ CGY
My Riders are ROLLING! Bo Levi looked completely defeated and like he just wanted that game to end last week. The high scoring TiCats couldn't even get in the endzone at Mosaic. Here is the Riders recipe: They have a deep DL and can constantly rotate different DL in to keep them fresh and tire out the OL. And here is the key: when you have the opposing QB worrying about the pass rush and trying to escape it rather then keeping his eyes downfield well then thats a huge win! All the guys on the DL are great players and coach Mace was a defensive player himself and has this defense on lock. Everyone is playing fast and hungry. They added another 6 sacks to their season total last week. The players love playing for coach Mace. Harris is also playing at an MVP level realizing this may be his last/2nd last year and making the most of it. Ouellette has been a bruiser and plays hard.

Calgary is coming off the bye and is the only team to solve the Riders this year, at Mosaic, with the game being delayed 1 day. But not Saturday night. The Riders get their revenge. I am not going against this freight train until proven otherwise. They've allowed 15 points combined in the last 2 games, and 1 of those games was to the top scoring offense in the league. Riders win and cover.

TEASER: 7pts

WPG +0.5
If the Bombers lose this game they should be embarrassed and just give up on the year. The Bombers and Collaros, Demski, Oliviera and co. should be able to outscore a 4th string QB playing with backup WRs.

BC +3.5
This line is sort of suspect to me as I would expect BC to be favored by at least 1 TD. But give me a 3 pt cushion incase weird stuff happens.

SK +8
I love love love this one and I have an 8pt cushion.

Good luck!

I went back to recheck my ML record and I shorted myself a win in week 8, record is updated.

WPG -6 @ MTL
Winnipeg almost blew it and lost last week after being up 17 at the half. But not this week! Montreal is REALLY banged up. They are now on their 4th string QB, 3/4 WRs are out including Philpot, Mack and Letcher Jr, they're missing an 1 OL, their best DB (Dequoy) and best DL/best player on their defense: Mustafa Johnson. Winnipeg finally wins and covers and doesn't let this game slide against a completely decimated Als team. Where is the scoring coming from for Montreal?
30-13 Bombers

EDM -3 @ OTT
Edmonton has won back to back games but be it against the Argos and a banged up Als team. The RedBlacks were on a 2 game winning streak before succumbing to the Bombers last week. Dru Brown is out, along with basically their whole defense, missing 9 players. Dedmon is out, Addison is out, 1 OL is out, they are almost in worse shape then Montreal minus not being on their 4th string QB. You have to go Edmonton to win and cover here.
32-24 Elks

BC -3.5 @ TOR
The Lions have now won 2 in a row scoring 77 points in those 2 wins. Their offense is really starting to roll. The Argos are a complete disaster, their defense wouldn't be able to stop a High School team right now. Why is BC only favored by 4? I can't see Toronto's defense all of a sudden being fixed with how defunct they are in 1 weeks time. BC wins and covers.
39-26 Lions

@FillyFlier16

 Bet365 you can tease up to 7 points.

Good luck!

I miscalculated my money line record and I am missing 1 game. I am either 26-13 or 25-14 money line, I will figure that out for next week.

MTL @ BC -4.5

Montreal is starting QB3 Evans and are banged up. BC is starting to click and play fast at home. How will Montreal keep up and score points against BCs high potent offense and improving defense? Lions win and cover.

31-17 Lions

TEASER: 7pts

WIN +2

I like the Bombers to win this game at home with Ottawa playing back to back games on the road.

SK +3.5

I love the Riders to win and we have a 3pt cushion just in case.

BC +2.5

I also love BC to win, I can't see Montreal's offense keeping up with BCs offense.

Good luck!

Apologize as I don't have time for write-ups this week but let's stay hot.

OTT @ WPG -5

Sure the RedBlacks offense looked like a juggernaut last week but did you see the spacing the Argos left in their secondary? They had no clue what they were doing nor did they look prepared to play defense. Winnipeg wins and covers.

31-24 Bombers

TOR +3 @ EDM

Dinwiddie unloaded on his players post game again and the last time he did they responded with a huge 2 TD win over the Bombers. I am banking on that happening again here after blowing a 3 TD lead last week. Argos win and cover but I'm not too excited to bet on this game.

27-23 Argos

HAM @ SK -3.5

Riders coming off the bye and ready to make a statement against a tired TiCats team playing their 8th consecutive game.. Riders are a complete team and playing at home, anticipating a sellout. The crowd will play a factor in this game! Riders win and cover.

33-23 Riders

WIN +5 @ CAL

The Bombers were lucky to win last week thanks to special teams and defense. Collaros and Bryant were full participants in practice on Tuesday. Winnipeg could really use Collaros in this game especially as Strevler has been struggling. The Bombers have already lost twice to the Stamps this year by a combined 42 points.

It looks like VA will be playing but will still be short a bunch of WRs. Alford, Jones and Philpot were all limited at practice on Tuesday. Barnes practised in full. This is the Stamps 6th consecutive game without a bye. Pending final injury reports and the status of both QBs I may change my pick closer to the game but for now Calgary wins, Bombers cover.

27-24 Stampeders

TEASER: 7pts

BC +10.5

I like a rested BC team who just played Hamilton before their bye, then had time to prepare for Hamilton again in this game, all while the TiCats have played their 7th consecutive game and the last 2 being on the road. Maybe also a possible look ahead spot for the TiCats next week against a battle of the top 2 teams in the league.

EDM +11

Edmonton just may win this game with all of the Als injuries and Fajardo still playing for revenge on his former team. This should be a close low scoring game, so an 11 point cushion is perfect in this spot.

WPG +12

I feel like this line is inflated for the Stamps. The Stamps do have their share of injuries at WR and the Bombers are getting their best OL and QB1 back. I would not be shocked if the Bombers won this game. It is not easy to beat the same team 3 times in a 5 week span (since week 5) and we have a 12 point cushion.

MY POWER RANKINGS:

1)Saskatchewan (1)

2)Hamilton (2)

3)Calgary (3)

4)Montreal (4)

5)Winnipeg (6)

6)BC (7)

7)Toronto (5)

8)Ottawa (9)

9)Edmonton (8)

Good luck!

Perfect week last week, let's go!

BC +3.5 @ HAM

BC is coming off a bye and has had time to think about their loss against the TiCats just 11 days ago. BC also leads the league in offense at 408 yards per game.

The TiCats have won 6 games in a row, 1 win away from totaling their win total from last season. Hamilton should be a bit exhausted as they have back to back short weeks and haven't had a bye in 7 weeks, and play the Riders next week at Mosaic. BC wins and covers in a revenge game against a tired TiCats team.

31-27 Lions

EDM +4 @ MTL

The Elks have been playing much better since Fajardo became the starter. Edmonton lost to the 2 top teams (SK and HAM) by a combined 7 points the past 2 weeks and have shown improvement on both sides of the ball.

Montreal got smacked around all over the field by the Riders last week and are also missing a bunch of players. MBT is really struggling but maybe playing the Elks D could help. The Als really need their QB1 back. Montreal corrects some things from last week and barely wins but doesn't cover.

24-22 Alouettes

OTT @ TOR -3

Ottawa got a huge win last week but that was at the expense of playing PJ Walker and missing 3 of their 4 starting WRs. Ottawa goes as Dru Brown goes. The RedBlacks still aren't a very good team overall.

The Argos lost to the Bombers 40-31 last week with Strevler throwing for 173 yards, 0 TDs and 3 INTs. Oliveria ran for 50 yards. So what happened? Special teams and defense is what happened. 1 kick and 1 punt return TD, 1 pick six, and 4 FGs. If not for even half of those blunders then the Argos win that game. Argos win and cover.

29-23 Argos
