I like your leans on Eskimos and under.
Winner will be in 3way tie for 1st.
meaning the loser falls to last, but only a game out.
Thanks Alta for noticing.. will fix it on next preview...

Montreal @ Hamilton -2.5 O/U 60
Montreal Scores (Most recent first) Cal 32@Mon 33 - O60 Mon 10@Cal 38 - U60 Win 30@Mon 41 - O60
Hamilton Scores (Most Recent First) Tor 27@Ham 36 - O60 Ham 36@BC 39 - O60 Sask 43@Ham 16 - U60
Sorry can't get to head to head in for this one, but I am mostly liking the Over as i think the line is set high to get some under money in. Both of these teams are pass happy, but at the same time It's Ivor Wynn field, and there is always the possibility of a 13-10 dump of a game. I do see Montreal using the momentum despite the fact I think they are somewhat overrated and like them for the win.
3x Mon/Ham over 60
1x Mon +2.5

Glad to see you on the Als, BB! Personally don´t like 2.5pt spreads in football (hope today doesn´t prove me wrong), so I´m taking Montreal to win su... scared of the total, 60 is a lot, hope to get a lower number live. GL to you and all the boys tonight!

Running the Numbers: Decent start
After 4 weeks...
Total Bet Record 17-16
Total Bet Volume - 106.1 Units
Running Total +22.35 Units
Broken Down
Sides 7-10
Bet 43.4 (-9.55)
Totals 10-6
Bet 62.7 (+31.90)
Lost 7 of 8 in Week 2 (-17.40)
Won 6 of 8 in Week 3 (+23.50)
Not sure why I can't pick a side, but at least totals are good. At least I've not (yet) gone on any drunken stoopers. I'm sure the haters will love to see that. They are currently quiet when you are winning.

Great stuff so far.
Personally going to the first Bomber home game this Thursday. Wonder if having a home game finally will help turn the Bombers around.

I'm not feeling too confident with the Bombers this week. I will be at the game also. Hopefully Brink will have a good game and the D will stand up.
I am also going to the Banjo Bowl on Sept 9. Sask @ WPG. I will in the first row behind the home team at about the 45 yard line. How many points do you think SBR will give me for wearing their sweater if I get on TV?

I'm also going to the first bomber game on Thursday. Hopefully week 5 will start winning ways for the bombers and for myself. Can't seem to pick a winner to save my life. That being said can someone PLEASE explain to me how the bombers are -3 on Thursday after how good Edmonton looked last two weeks?! I'm as big a homer as you'll find but that line blew my mind.

Ahh that makes much more sense. Was just on the road back from the cabin so I checked my app. For some reason they had all the lines flipped for this week. I thought oddsmakers had lost their minds. Eskimos -3 is def a fair line.

That -2.5 is great, I'm still taking Edmonton -3, but I'll probably stop caring about that bet when I'm in the crowd with a few beers in me.
I actually think the Saskatchewan spread is good too, like reeeaaaaaallllllyyy good.

I'm in the same boat though. Originally thought huge play on Edmonton but as the week has gone and I remember winnipeg almost won in Toronto last week with an awful display from brink. They've also been in every game but the Edmonton one. Down 6 in the 4th to bc. Tied in the 4th vs Montreal. I'm not sure now. Better Bizness what is your take on the over under. My mind says under but at 46 my gut says over.
Head to Head 2012 Edm 1-0 (W3@Edm) Edm 42-10 2011 1-1 (W6@Win) Win 28-16, (W16@Edm) Edm 24-10 2010 1-1 (W4@Win) Win 47-21, (W18@Edm) Edm 16-13
Tight line tonight, and of course, the big question is how can this game be a pickem' with the 0-4 Bombers playing the 3-1 Eskimos the week AFTER the Esks stomped BC in BC Place...
That is a VERY good question... I'm really not sure...
10x Edm -1.5
2x Edm/Win Under...

Yeah that line is weird, theres publicly known that would make me think edm is only -1. Its not that big of a homefield advantage
