CK's CFL Season Thread 2008-2009 Season

linglingfool · 07-01-09, 10:09 AM

Rule of thumb: unless you hear CK say otherwise, he hasn't changed his mind. Constantly asking him is not going to help.

I grew up in Hamilton ... If there's one thing I can tell you about the TiCats -- it's that they are absolutely terrible, no matter what. I personally teased the under.

Hamilton last 3 years season openers:
Totals: 43, 46, 44
Hamilton Pts: 10, 9, 17

Hamilton last 3 years home-openers:
Totals: 43, 35, 46
Hamilton Pts: 10, 5, 14

Just look at those numbers. Look at them. I was at most of those home games and all I can say is wow was I drunk. Nobody cares or expects the team to win so home field is literally of no advantage. In fact, at one point last season or maybe it was the season before, Hamilton went 5 games without throwing an offensive touchdown at home. 5 games.

Hamilton has been outscored 97-36 in their last 3 season openers and 95-29 in their last 3 home openers (one game overlaps). All 5 of these games have been well below tomorrow's number. Will the trend reverse? Doubt it. Stick to the under if you're not sure.

I am glad that someone out there understands. I'm coming back to the thread to announce that I am taking the under and here you are making my point for me.

My picks:

Hamilton/Toronto under 51

Montreal+8

That's it for the games for today fools. Good luck as always

cocknocker · 07-01-09, 11:34 AM

Injuries for Montreal that caused the line shift:

Tackle J.Pilon OUT
Guard D. Armstrong OUT
Running back Cornish OUT

Do I care that they are out for the game? In a word...NO! Triple revenge all in yo face!

peterpan19 · 07-01-09, 11:36 AM

ck
both for the same amount today ?... I somehow feel a bit more confident in the Montreal pick, but Ham and Tor are two sorry ass teams...side is a coin flip, but the under not...

cocknocker · 07-01-09, 12:12 PM

The under will happen peterpan19, but yes I am betting them both for the same amount. I am not gonna go for the gusto yet. When I run up against a game that cries for the wood, I'll bring it. Neither of these are it...

I will need a scorekeeper and stat person. The stat person will be responsible for putting useful trends on the page for us. Ideally I would like for both of those jobs to be held by different people. I will cap, but I need a person who is good with trends to keep me up on the ins and outs of CFL history, and I would like to see the trends on the samepage as I am making my wager on. Please fill these positions immediately.

The bankroll will start off at $3000.00 and the unit measure will be $300.00.

azn624 · 07-01-09, 12:16 PM

Thanks Ck for the great picks

tunit213 · 07-01-09, 12:26 PM

Hey Ck, I just want to make sure I am following correctly. So do you have two bets on Montreal today one at +3.5 and one at +8 as well as Hamilton +1.5 and the under 51. Thanks for the picks regardless.

Marvinj · 07-01-09, 01:06 PM

Ck would be nice to have somebody like oda to in this thread to cuz i think is thread is gonna explode like the dating tips thread, just a thought. btw lets win some money

thegenix · 07-01-09, 01:14 PM

I could keep score in this one for you CK if you'd like.

cocknocker · 07-01-09, 01:37 PM

We still don't have the stat person. This experiment will not work unless we have someone who will be on the stats for us. I need a guy who can get his nails dirty and tell me who is what what the power ranking are, who is in or out, what happened historically between these teams what is the average o/u line for the games where they are playing, is there a suspension, etc. If I have to do this all by myself, then I might as well keep the picks to myself too

The current line for Montreal via the Greek is +8 as CK noted.
And these are his 2 plays for CFL.

Just wanted to make it clear because some of these questions are going to make him go crazy.

thegenix · 07-01-09, 03:38 PM

CFL 2009 Season
Bankroll $3000
0-0-0

Pending plays for today:

My apologies for mixing people up. I guess the first post isn't actual picks just leans.

Oh snap....let's roll....between this and the WNBA...can't wait

cocknocker · 07-01-09, 05:41 PM

As prescribed Hamilton line is creeping up and is now squarely at -3 with a correct moneyline. Hamilton is the play in that game. That's a free one for you guys.

CRAPTORS101 · 07-01-09, 05:44 PM

gl on montreal, they got a shot on the moneyline too !

azn624 · 07-01-09, 05:49 PM

jgbgsox · 07-01-09, 06:09 PM

sweetjones55 · 07-01-09, 06:13 PM

I can not believe I am watching football in July. Who are the best offensive/defensive players in the league and what team do they play for? Best kicker?

Marvinj · 07-01-09, 06:15 PM

Fight

sweetjones55 · 07-01-09, 06:16 PM

Wow a complete brawl just broke out.

6-0 Tor. The kicker of Toronto just left the game. Jarrett Payton, ex-UM RB, kicked for him and missed badly.

Marvinj · 07-01-09, 06:22 PM

ouch never seen any1 miss a 1 pt conversion.
