      Nice ink Mr. Memo...All over BC (-1.5) @ TOR for a start. Want to go really big but I am religious about the two percent. Think the Oil crew are going to make a serious run this year? Cheers

          Good to see you´ve survived the bye weeks and even made some money I want to play Toronto tonight, but haven´t pulled the trigger yet... It´s hard to put money on those bums, but I somehow feel they could win today. Waiting for BB´s prolific write-up to make me decide...

              Head to Head 2010
              (W4@Tor) Tor 24-20, (W11@BC) BC 37-16

              So Is BC winning the Grey Cup now? One big win against the hapless Eskmos and pretty much everyone is crowning them champs. Maybe if they one day approach .500, I may consider them a contender, but so far, they brought in , albeit a great receiver, in Arland Bruce III, it’s the SAME stinking team that’s gone NO WHERE all year.

              Whatever the case, I’m thinking the Coaching Staff of Toronto’s Jim Barker will be ready for them, and ready enough to slow this pace right down. Not that Toronto has an incredible pace to begin with, although at times they have played like they have. 2 things that just don’t seem right, 1) The TOTAL is just WAY to high… about 2 points higher than I think it should be… 2) How did the Lions ON THE ROAD, as a 2-6 Team, push the pickem to a -2 in the past couple of days… Obviously people smarter than me have bet them… I’m not that smart…

              3x Toronto +2
              5x BC/Tor Under 51

                            Jinx? There ain´t no such thing. There´s only destiny. If you can´t change the position of the stars and planets by mere words, how could you possibly change what is written in the book of life? No worries, if we lose, we lose, but not because someone said or didn´t say so. I believe in positive affirmations rather than curses and jinxes... it´s only our faith that gives them power.

                                          To complete the tease they scored 3 straight TD's in the 4th quarter... then had the ball at the 9 to score, go up 5, and force Baylor to cover... they didn't and kicked the FG, and eventually lost... wow...

                                          Important to note I had the game under 52... I was close, as it was just 50-48, and clearly if I had been playing a team total for either side I would have won...

                                            Man, they totally saved my night, as I had taken them + 23.5 huge live in the third . I have never played college football before, but noticed that people here were on them, so I thought they wouldn´t be as bad not to cover this big number.

                                              And it would have been a marginal team total cover at that

                                                  what do you think BB Sask +2.5 is a pretty tricky line they almost want you to take Wpg, Bombers havent lost on the road yet but Riders have won last 6 labour day classics

                                                      Obviously I know nothing…

                                                      I see a 1-7 team off playing SO BAD, that they have gone from a 3.5 point dog, through the key number of 3, now sitting at 2.5 points with, in all likelihood, the entire province of Saskatchewan putting their life savings on this game… It’s the ONLY possible explanation???

                                                      I guess, the Bombers, losing the last 6 straight in Regina may have something to do with it, but are we living in the past? I didn’t even give Winnipeg much credit last week, despite their crazy run, because they beat up on all the weak teams in the CFL… For the sake of argument… Where do we Classify The Riders at 1-7?

                                                      I know coaching changes tend to inspire, for sure… Thus if the Riders were say, 7.5 point dogs like they should be, I’d REALLY have a tough time with a selection, but as it stands, they are 2.5 point dogs and apparently DROPPING… Last year, the Bombers lost in Sask by 4, when they were terrible and the Riders were on top… the next week, the Riders got blown out 31-2… This year, Winnipeg does nothing but sack QB’s and make Offenses look bad… No changing change is going to stop that just yet…

                                                            Well Scully, I can't see your CFL one losing... With that said, I don't know how It has a chance to win... You know one of those is going to mess up despite what I think... I haven't looked hard enough at the NFL, but of course it all looks fine for the 14 points your teasing... I think the if this is one big Teaser, SD is the weakest... If you're going to play these huge numbers, I wouldn't have looks at a team that can lose by less than a TD, and this IS the chargers no less...

                                                            Hope it finds its way though...

                                                              Agree with your thinking for WIN @ SSK today BB. WIN is my call and I personally think people are trying to see problems on their game when there isn't any. Scully I would opt for the HAM +17.5. MON has a fair number of injuries and are going through a bit of a slide. That is a big number for a pretty good HAM team that won't (can't) run and gun against MON as CGY did but rather will grind the game down. SSK and CGY seems iffy and I haven't looked at NFL yet. Good luck!

                                                                  Thanks for the feedback guys. Ironically the Chargers is the game I felt the least confident in as I reviewed the plays. Oh yeah, they've burned me a couple of times in the past, not in these types of teasers but where they may have had to cover a 4.5 number and they won the game by 3 or thereabouts. Anyway, still time to make changes but again thanks to both BB and BigSmitty for your views. Have a teaser going with one play remaining and it's the game today involving the Bombers and Saskatchewan. I have the Riders at +15 to close the teaser out. I'm thinking of a Bomber play but I can't decide whether to play them on the ml or the -2.5 number.

                                                                    It doesn´t surprise me at all with those erudite (and fun to read too) write-ups of yours, so thank yourself first As for the game today, although I kinda like both picks, I will only take the Bombers on the ml. Also teasing Winnipeg + 2.5 and Under 54.5. GL everyone!

Decided I had enough riding already on the game with the last leg of my other parlay, needing Saskatchewan at +15, which will conclude one way or another with the conclusion of this game. Of course I've added a large 10-unit play on the hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders at +1.5 as well. (posted in my own thread) Bol with your play(s) today BB.
