    If Pierce is out, Winnipeg will be a big dog next week in Toronto... Public will be all over the Argos to blow them out with Elliot at the helm... maybe a nice spot possibly with the terrible Toronto Offense... To be continued after watching them tonight in Montreal...

      Elliot didn't look too bad out there. Could be a different story though if he starts next week.

          Toronto looks buried after that early 4q TD, now can they cover more importantly?

            Are you kidding me... Copeland drops that 20 yard gain to have it returned to the 10... Still outside shot if they hold to a FG, but sure don't look good... Winnipeg @ Toronto next week Total should be about 22.5 ...

                thats an all time record return? announcers said it is, nobody ever took a fumble from inside 1 endzone to the other?

                nobody fumbled into the endzone and the D took it 112 or so the other way?

                CFL been around like 50 years or more i think, kinda odd that that never occured

                  I actually had to go out, and just saw the score on the phone...

                  Watching the highlights just now... If they got stopped.. I get the under... If they score, Argos Cover... If they fumble the ball on a head first plummet on the goal line and have it returned 109 yards untouched... I lose everything...

                    officially they say '58... but the leagues that merged I think were in the 30's...

                    A 1 in 50 year occurance is enough for me...

                    Reminds me of when I bet the Al's last year in Hamilton, and Calvillo through back to back picks, on back to back possessions on back to back first and goals early in the game... I said its likely the only time, EVER, that he won't come away with some sort of points in his career...

                    I'm watching the replay again and you just got to laugh if you were on the dummy end tonight like me tonight... Play the 6/49 tomorrow if you had the Al's and hope your luck continues...

                    My 3 teamer tonight with 0.75 ERA in his last 9 starts Verlander tonight, Atl P Hudson, and this now doesn't feel as terrible... Had Verlander won I'd have pretty much tossed the tv out the window...

                      With all of this said... Toronto is incredibly bad... But really, in this game right until the end... I am REALLY interested to see what that line vs Winnipeg will be with Boyd out, and possible Pierce out... I can't see the Total more than 46 in any light... Arguably the Defenses may score more points next week than the offenses... Someone give me a line on that please!

                          Well a good start anyhow... 23-0... I see ZERO life out of the Riders right now, and the tempting play is to bet Hamilton ML +145...

                          Continuing the blowout...

                          2x Hamilton 2H ML +145

                                  BC @ Edmonton -2.5 O/U 54.5

                                  Edm 42@Sask 28 - O54.5

                                  Ugh… You know my history. Can’t bet against the Esks… Just like my ability to stay away from Skydiving/Bungee Jumping all this time. Just can’t do it…

                                  The line hasn’t moved, and clearly the Linesmakers are telling us they want us to take Edmonton here. AND I’m incredibly tempted to do as they tell me despite the fact that 2 games don’t make a season. But there is a clear turnaround for the franchise, which I figure would happen with all the new changes, but, it’s clearly started sooner than later.

                                  Last years Head to Head was Edmonton 2-1, (W1@Edm) BC 25-10, (W5@Edm) Edm 28-25, (W16@BC) Edm 31-28… The last game in BC was a lot of the similar type of personal, and motivation that could carry over to the game this Saturday. I definitely see a closer type game here with a shootout style of game in fact. Last week QB Lulay absolutely Stunk going 17-39-279, while the week before he was 26-45-366. A lot of the poor numbers are because of all the drops his receiving core couldn’t handle, including all-star WR Simon who dropped the game tying 2 pointer.

                                  I’m leaning against overthinking this game, and going to think that the pace will be high, the drops will be minimal, and the new and improved Esks prevail by a FG.

                                  2x Edm -2.5
                                  2x Edm/BC Over
                                  Debating on thinking the pace may reflect the beautiful day in Edmonton... Hate making this sucker play, but I really think Pace will pick up tonight...

                                    54.5 is a pretty high line isn't it ? You think the Esk's can put on the points ? They may be a let down today.

                                    You know its like tease, tease, high expectations, capitulation.....

                                            Saskatchewan @ Hamilton -2 O/U 51.5

                                            Hamilton 2011 Past Results (Most Recent First)
                                            Ham 10@Edm 28 - U51.5
                                            Win 24@Ham 16 - U51.5

                                            Two 0-2 teams, that really had big projections to start the season meet in Hamiton’s Ivor Wynn Stadium, where typically offenses go to die… Something about this dump of a stadium that typically causes teams to sign an extra punter to the roster because a field position (i.e boring) game is usually in the work and Kickers are the MVPs.

                                            2 very good Offenses have lit up the Riders at home, and thus the question lies, Is Hamilton going to be the third? Hamilton had all sorts of expectations going into the season behind QB Gleen, WR Bruce III, and RB Cobourne, but much adu about nothing so far. With respect, Hamilton got caught in a rain storm in Edmonton last week, and were in complete control at home to Winnipeg the week before. Excuses aside, if Hamilton doesn’t figure things out quick, no matter how good you think you are, the more you lose, the more you think of yourself as a loser. One of these 2 teams is going 0-3 after this game (Thanks captain obvious).

                                            Last year, The Head to Head was Saskatchewan 2-0, (W5@Sask) Sask 37-24, (W13@Ham) Sask 32-25, both playing overs. The game in Hamilton actually saw both offenses combine for over 1000 yards. In fact, the past 2 seasons in Hamilton, saw Ham RB Cobb torch the Rider defense for 166, and 159 yards respectfully. Now they have Former Al’s RB Cobourne. This could be dangerous.

                                            I’m really iffy on the pace of this game, as I don’t think much of Overs played in Hamilton, but I do think that the Rider Defense will continue to get torched, and I think offering the 2 points to Hamilton is very nice of the oddsmakers. This game started on Ham -2.5 so the public is clearly backing the Riders, here, which is really strange considering there is nothing that shows any reason that they “should” turn around here. I anything the line should be right where it started. Nevertheless, clearly I see the “real “adjustment that will be made is in the Hamilton Offense which is clearly underperforming to their potential, rather then the Rider Defense which is plain bad.

                                            I think this game is worthy of a strong play on Hamilton. The pace I’m unconvinced on yet though, but I’ll lean on the under.

                                            4x Hamilton -2
                                            1x Ham/Sask Under 51.5
                                            Cash Both...
