I'd just pass, why would you trust other's opinions and information with your own money?

i respect a few posters heres capping skills bud. but, i do agree with your point.

I don't know anything about the CFL, so I'm gonna pass.

We've been talking about it all week long. As I told my friends, I'm gonna wait for the 1st half and see how it goes. Although I won a lot last week on both games and halfs, I find Mtl/Edm games hard to cap. Montreal/Toronto games were easy bets for me but this one is a toss up.

We're a little surprised to see Maciocia (Edm coach) making it so far his first year. Thought he'd get booted against the Stampeders. He was a great offence coordinator with the Als so I'm happy for him.

The whole game will be decided over Mtl offence vs Edm defense. We have to see how well the O-line will control Montford and cie. If Calvillo (Mtl QB) is able to roll to his right, where he is more efficient, then the Als will dominate.

Edmonton's offence is mainly a passing game. All year long, Montreal has had trouble containing the long play. They were efficient against both the Roughriders and the Argos but it remains a question mark. Eskimos QB situation is a funny one. Ricky Ray will get the start again but, the last 2 games, he was replaced by Maas who saved the day on each occasion. If Ray fails again, Maas will quickly come in... but I expect a different result. It will be interesting to see Montreal's strategy. They didn't blitz at all in last week 1st half and came back in the 2nd half with a lot of pass rush.

Again, main match up is Montreal's powerful offence vs Edmonton's top defense.

You just gave me an idea. Was looking for a game to parlay with Middlesborough. Montreal it is

So did you end up betting on it Dan?

Very good game. Classic Grey Cup match. Could have gone either way.

I ended up losing a parlay (it was a loss anyway) but I cashed in on 2H. Still disappointed as a fan. But great game to watch.

Dan, I wasn't too confident about the game... and even the 2nd half. So I wasn't gonna post a wager I thought was pretty much a toss-up. I only put down 1 unit for 2H, trying to recover my parlay loss.

don't sweat it Max. everyone here would have had to have some very strong views on this game, for me place a bet on it.
