Good day everybody!
Let´s hit the Saskatchewan ML hard! Just need a fat, greasy dog to bring home some cash. I don´t trust BC Lions. On the other hand I have no important info, nor a gut feeling about this one. As for the totals, the over looks almost too easy. So I would bet under (as much as I hate betting unders, especially in CFL) or no play. Looking forward to BB´s insightful preview to correct or change my perspective.

Scully leanin' towards Sask +3, but waitin' for BBiz.You got a lean on the game Sculls?
Light rain in Vancouver. Under??

Dharmonize made a good point in that you never know which Lions team is going to show up from week to week. I would like to think they pull out the victory today at home but knowing Saskatchewan, they would love to play spoiler as well. Andy I think the Riders cover but that the game will come down to a last minute FG, sort of like last night's game in Edmonton, only with a few more points. Maybe a Rider one or two point victory and over? It's a tough call.Comment -
Agreed. A month ago I would of said Sask would run away with it but BC has so much to play for, makes it too unpredictable. Might just make a very small play on the under cuz of the rain. $10 on the under!!!!
If BBiz has a strong lean, I will go with it. BBiz...where are you??

I know this is game everyone seems to be licking their chops over... but I'm not sure why? this game has trap written on both sides? So many tough questions... Will Durant play beyond Q2? (They say he is starting)... Will BC play like the desperate team they are... Will BC light up a Sask Ground Defense that has given up 568 yards in the past 3 games?
On the other hand... The Riders, like the Al's the other day.. Are playing with momentum in mind... as AndyCapper said in a previous post... 3-4 weeks ago this is a 6 Point AD for the Riders... But now, with little to play for, and losing 3 straight... what will they come back with?
Relatively warm but some drizzle seems to be going on in the Pacific Northwest, which may slow down some of the passing attack possibly... But again, nothing I'm reading is tipping me to much more then the current weather situation... They both want to win.. BC NEEDS to win...
I'm laying VERY low on this game and leaning on the under 53... Otherwise I'm just personally cheering for the Riders so the Eskimos are in the playoffs... Unless someone has a better read on this game, I would lay low as well... Just too many question marks, that for that matter may be worthwhile looking at for the 2nd half...
Thus
1.5 Units Under 53Comment -
Ok BBiz, you convinced me! $12.50 on the under!!
Comment -
Well said BB and I never thought of waiting until the second half but you may definitely have a good point. Monitor the first half and see how the game plays out to start.
BOL.

Picked this info up from another website. Can anyone confirm the Saskatchewan receivers sitting this one out today?
If last week was any indication, Riders have packed it in for the reg season, I expect them to be missing a couple of key receivers again (rest and injury) and going up against a very hungry team that is playing some of its best fball of the seasonComment -
Adding... 0.5 Units Sask 1H +1.5
if Sask is going to come to play it will be in the first half... But lets really watch and see how this plays out...Comment -
on it!!Comment -
Thanks for the preview, BB!
I too somehow feel the Riders could take an early lead. Therefore Sask ML for 2 units (with a possibility to hedge live later on), 1 unit on the under 53 (I hate to do that, always means sweating the games till the end 
). GL all!

Steam moves the Total to 53.5... and now BC -3 is -110...Comment -
well 3-0 Riders after 1... right pace anyhow....Comment -
i love it the under. my book doesnt offer half linessbrComment -
DId you hear the comment about Ryan Phillips? The DB for the Lions...
He has 5 INT's vs Durant in his Career...But it seems that Durant has always talked to him before the game.. So to break Superstition Durant stayed away from him today during pregame... What does Phillips do .. Finds him and chases him down to say hello...
9:38 left in the Half.. Durant Driving ... Tosses it away... Tipped... Ryan Phillips... INT!Comment -
Punters are my Favorite players in an under...Comment -
10 Straight for BC... ffs...Comment -
13 points by BC in the last 4:56 of the half!
Bad for you 1st half backers and hurting our under a bit.
(under still lookin' good)
Comment -
hmm.. Bc +0.5 .. But Sask has shown NOTHING... I think I'm going to lay off this...Comment -
Good story regarding Durant & Phillips BB.
Comment -
Oh crap I forgot about this game but some1 mentioned yesterday that both the Esk's game and this game were going unders so I placed a bet yesterday for unders. Looking good
Comment -
Under was good... thankfully laid low on Sask... they really played like they didn't care... Lions played Desperate...Comment -
Nice weekend Bbiz, would of been a great weekend if the Eskies offense showed up. Looking forward to next weekend, hopefully we can exploit some of the games with teams that got something/ nothing to play for.

We were one Holding Call away from a MONSTER weekend Andy...Originally posted by AndyCapperNice weekend Bbiz, would of been a great weekend if the Eskies offense showed up.

Now up to the Esks to figure it out on the road...
BC Plays first however... they will know what the result is...Comment -
Unders cashed nice one!
Comment -
Well, what a day. I just went from one bad beat to another. Didn´t even have enough strenght to hedge the Riders after that field goal. I took it as a "good sign"
and wanted to wait for the half.. and then it was too late. Under helped to relieve the pain a little. Wish you all successful week, see ya nex time!

Updated Scorecard
Mon @ Tor = + 4.7
Ham @ Cal = -0.1 Units
Win @ Edm = -4.9 Units
Sask @ BC = +0.9 Units
Net Week 18 = +0.6 Units
Overall Week 6-18 Total = +2.75 Units
It was a 10 unit reversal if not for the donkey call, and the Donkey Play of the Edmonton Eskimos... alas, we somehow still ended up ahead of the curve and continue to grind away positively...
Looking forward to some interesting "nothing" games next week... Saturday will be exciting as an Eskimo fan anyhow...
Also nice to see the newcomers, and the oldcomers within the thread... I was checking over 3 pages of banter between us all to tally up my picks. It's a good feeling to know people are coming together to talk, watch and wager on some Canadian Football... It's developed into a nice little thread.

The only games that Means anything, are on Saturday... But they only mean something to Both BC and Edmonton... With Edmonton holding the Tiebreaking Advantage in the standings...
Very, very tough week to call barring really knowing late who will and won't play... Technically, EVERYONE wants to go into the playoffs on a winning note... but really, I think they just want to stay relatively injury free... Simple play calling and ground attacks... I definitely would lean on unders with Starting QB's out, or playing just part games...
The Eskimos game will also need to be looked at alot based on how BC does earlier in the day. 1 point dogs now, but If BC is in the lead, very likely they will put everything they got to win this game, including playing a not 100% Ricky Ray....
Anyhow... Ii will continue to update the thread as I find information...Comment -
I am already reading about Calgary's Coach Hufnagal's opinion on the Game in Winnipeg...
"If I can get a substitution in there at a position or two to take advantage of the situation, I will do that," he said. "I will not risk a player that is hobbling to play a game because it's not a lose-and-go-home game.
"We do have a long break in between that last game and the Western final. I'm concerned about having too much time off for a player. I expect to take everyone that's healthy to Winnipeg and play them. How long? That's a coaches' decision."
as 3 point favs... Maybe some strong first half plays if Burris is starting? Winnipeg STILL has no QB...Comment -
Ok Ricky Ray WILL be starting for the Esks...
Ray declared himself fit on Tuesday, taking most of the first-team reps in practice at Commonwealth Stadium, and admitted this final regular-season game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders was his target all along, after missing two games due to a strained muscle in his throwing shoulder.
"Regardless of the situation, I was shooting for this week to get back in and play a bit,"Comment -
Bbiz.. Any leans on the Lions/ ti-cats game since it's do-or-die for BC? Hamilton resting starters?Comment -
