Tough run lately man. The above paragraph describes me to a tee

So you’re telling me… a 5-1 team walks into a 1-5 Stadium and they are dogs, because why? Arland Bruce III, who apparently was a problem child in Hamilton, graces his presence to the West Coast… been with them for a week, and will magically work his way into the offense, and make Travis Lulay a star… Wow… This is the biggest trap ever or we are seriously f*d…
Think is though, we have Winnipeg that gives up just under 20 points a game, and BC that gives up almost 30… Yes, catching the ball will help, but I just don’t see the BC offense just turning in up because of a cast off (albeit very good) new receiver… Tell me what I’m missing??
Look at it this way, as inept as the Winnipeg offense is (152 points), they STILL outrank BC at 150…
I just don’t see the catch here… I really don’t…
5x Winnipeg +(Yes PLUS) 1.5
2x Under 49.5
Some days I wish I tilted at the right time...
Cash the 7, take away the 20...
Hope some of you cashed the night game....

Glad we cashed the Bombers! BB, no worries, losing two grand on one stupid meaningless game hurts like hell, but this is gambling after all, we simply can´t listen to reason and follow moneymanagement all the time I myself lost a similar sum in live betting on a soccer game two weeks ago. Took a break for a couple of days to calm down and then slowly made it back the following week. Which is exactly what we´re gonna do here next weekend! Till then, have a great week, everyone!

Ya.. funny though.. ok I'm not 'ok" with losing it, but I really thought that if THOSE 2 teams exceeded 25 points in BOTH halves.. Clearly It's just not a good night... Not to blame the zebras either, but didn't it feel like EVERY time there was a close play where the drive was about to end, THEY would find something to keep the drive alive and gain instant FG range...

How is edm -6 vs BC when all 4 of their import receivers are injured who is Ray gonna pass to? They are way worse off than last week when they only had Stamps and Bowman out now Barnes(cracked ribs) and Henry(concussion) are out as well this could be an ugly game i think the under is definately worth a look Esks only have 6 points in their last 6 quarters

Interesting to think that this game maybe pivotal to get a "stranglehold" on the playoffs, but at worst it definitely plays a huge role to this "1 fer" teams. Thing is Toronto has, in their overall gross record, actually played "not bad", losing really 1 big game to the Al's, but obviously competing in the other 3 vs Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Edmonton. Quite honestly, the fact that most of these games have been "overs", and not because they've been getting lit up, says alot about their offense. In fact, I recently looked at an article that says QB Lemon is avg'ing a 102 QB rating in his last 4 with just 1 int. They had 500+ yards last week in offense. I'm wondering how its possible to be 0-4?
Part of me want to buck this Over trend that the Argo's are showing, but it's hard to think that between the 67% completion ratio the Riders are allowing, and the Argo's allowing just a shade under 72%, that this won't be another shootout. Then again, last year, these same 2 teams a year removed scored just 43 points in each game.
I'm having problems, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, believing Toronto is an "Over" team right now. I believe the public is driving this number high because of stats like the ones I just threw out within the scheme of terrible defense. At some point I believe a regression to the mean is likely, and as football coaches will do, they will adjust. The Riders don't want to get into a shootout, and I believe that this is the type of game that will be played with playoff like atmosphere, meaning field position, and longer drives.
I've been getting whooped with big plays lately, so I'm going to just go medium on this one on the under, with the Argo's getting the best of the 3 points they're given.

The Green Riders are a disgusting bunch at this time---seems like they have no interest whatsoever and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Marshall gets the hook after this game. I mean they're horrible and Durant should be benched---period---I don't care who the backup is either. He certainly can't be any worse than this asshole!!!!

If you didnt know the score and saw the stats Durant had 384 yards passing to Lemons 169, I'm pretty sure you'd think they won by 30...

“We're going to have to refine our [offensive] package so that our guys are comfortable and the coaches are comfortable,” head coach Kavis Reed assessed. “We're not going to have our full playbook available to us this week. Sometimes that's good. When you become myopic in your play calling, you tend to be a lot more efficient.”
This pretty much sells me on betting the under here. The Eskimos are beat up in every position, and the Lions just can't beat anyone up but themselves. I'm not going to go to huge on this one, but it's pretty telling when the coach is saying he's going to keep things simple and not use the entire playbook they spent the entire off season making. Clearly the big deal here is if the Lions offense can get going with their big play threats in WR Simon and WR Bruce III, but I'm thinking that Coach Reed is going to make some defensive adjustments here that will turn this game into a freekin' snails pace that looked like the first 3 quarters of the Toronto game last night...
I'm really not going to bet the side here because I'm an Esks fan, but moreso, I'm also a fan of, when I'm in my sane and rational mind, not betting a 1-6 team on the road to "turn it around" ... I'm hoping for the Esks, but I wouldn't touch the 5.5 with a 10 foot pole.

I hear you BB with the concerns on BC and I've certainly ripped on them this year. Probably a sensible call laying off the side if you're an EDM fan. BC with the points is my play-I don't do totals but I agree with everything you explained. Good luck.
