My picks:

SAS Roughriders +3.5
WIN Bluebombers -4
EDM Eskimos pick
BC Lions -4.5 (Best Bet)

I now like Edmonton +1 -105 as my best bet.

Edmonton notes:
The Eskimos have added three recent NFL cuts to their squad, offensive lineman Trey Darilek, cut by the Dallas Cowboys; defensive back Joey Thomas, also cut by the Cowboys; and wide receiver Ryan Hoag, a former Washington Redskins player. - Edmonton Journal

The Tiger-Cats have shipped Canadian linebacker Agustin Barrenechea to the Edmonton Eskimos along with a fourth round 2008 draft pick in exchange for rookie Canadian defensive back Jason Nedd. - Hamilton Spectator

Montreal Notes:
Linebacker Diamond Ferri has been hospitalized with a pancreatic problem and will be placed on the disabled list. Running-back Jamel White has returned home because of personal issues and will be suspended.

Anthony Calvillo, sidelined indefinitely with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder, actually threw some light passes yesterday, leading to speculation he'll start Sept. 23, when Edmonton plays at Molson Stadium.

Safety Etienne Boulay was on crutches yesterday, advised not to put any weight on his right foot. He has a high foot sprain, although there's no tear. He won't play Friday at Edmonton and probably will be replaced by Matthieu Proulx.

Slotback Ben Cahoon didn't practise yesterday but was on the field. He remains questionable with soft-tissue damage to his ribs. Guard Paul Lambert, nursing a knee injury, practised with the reserves. He said the knee remains sore, but wants to test it more today. - Montreal Gazette

I like it betplom! I found it at +2 and bought it to +3 -130.
Go Eskimos!

[betplom]

Pinnacle has it at Edmonton +1 +102. Too bad I already bet it at a worse price!

[betplom]

Earlier today I got Edmonton +1.5 -110. (SIA)

Also bet them at even -110. (Bet365)

If I had money in my Pinnacle account I could have bet this game at much better price.

Go Edmonton!!

betplom and zootiehead, I know it's way to early to get excited about this, but Edmonton's up 7-0 out of the gates!
Good luck tonight . . . always nice to get a good start, we'll see what happens . . .

[betplom]

Well, it's not early anymore. 31-7 Edmonton at the 1/2. Nice!

Lookin' like we got it happenin' in here tonight betplom . . .

[betplom]

Yeah, it's nice to start out with an easy win, this weekend has the potential to be a big moneymaker for me should my other CFL plays come through. (Particularly BC)

I think I'm going to pass on Sask or make a small wager, my other big bet will be on BC.

Great night. Congrats, all.
