Any Cfl Fans Here

**Mudcat** · 06-13-06, 03:37 PM

Many times, I have sat and watched CFL playoff games and noted how much more exciting it can be than the NFL and said, "You know what? Next year I'm going to give this game a real chance."

But I never do.

I'm always aware of the CFL. We have a team in Toronto and it gets talked about on the FAN590 radio, which I listen to in my car quite a bit.

If for some strange reason, I found myself somewhere that there was an Argos game on TV, I would actually cheer for them - which is unusual for me because I'm not usually a guy to have favorite teams.

But I couldn't be considered a fan. Maybe I'll check out Ricky Williams this year and see if I get swept up in some kind of wave of fandom - but I doubt it.

I'm with Mudcat on this one. I always try to give AFL and CFL a chance, but this year I barely caught 5 minutes of AFL. I hope to get my teeth into CFL this year, but I probably won't when push comes to shove. Who knows?

**Dark Horse** · 06-14-06, 05:56 PM

I'll start playing CFL a month into the season.

**bigboydan** · 06-15-06, 10:28 AM

1 more day til the kickoff to the season.

i know it's the CFL, but football is football

**Illusion** · 06-15-06, 06:38 PM

I might dabble in a few CFL games this season.

I dont know enough to put money down on the games. I will have to read up on it and pay more attention to the game before I start wagering on the CFL.

I dont think I have ever watched a CFL game.

**scottyy11** · 06-16-06, 12:17 PM

gonna try montreal -9 ...dont like laying the big number but don mathews teams generally start off fast out of the gate and at home to one of worst teams last year.....hope for a blowout

i seen a few games broadcast on NESN last year.

**Illusion** · 06-16-06, 07:08 PM

Alright cool, I have to sit and watch a few games before I start betting.

**scottyy11** · 06-16-06, 11:54 PM

well got the first game under my belt motreal wins 27-17 , this game would of been a blow but montreal decided not to show up till the 4th Q............Winnipeg offense didnt look good they had a great first drive of the game then very little. Special teams blocked a punt and returned it for a td ........montreal offense wasnt good either and was really only helped by some key penalties and interceptions and failed to finish off many drives and had to settle on FG attemps ....but their D took over this game in the 4th

**bigboydan** · 06-16-06, 11:58 PM

very nice way to start of the season

**scottyy11** · 06-17-06, 03:26 PM

cfl play

2nd half Hamilton +3

**bigboydan** · 06-17-06, 04:11 PM

good luck scotty

**scottyy11** · 06-17-06, 05:33 PM

got unlucky here missed field goal and redzone interception, ricky williams debut was ok rushed for 98 yards i think about 5 yards per carry with a few good catch and runs mixed in

exact was 96 yard on 18 carries....annoucer at the end of game said 98 :-<

**Mudcat** · 06-18-06, 02:29 PM

Sorry it didn't go your way, scotty.

As for Ricky W., he also had 2 catches for 24 yards. Word is, they want to increase his pass catching role on the team (and Ricky is all in favor of that, feeling his receiving has been under-utilized in the NFL).

Argos #1 quarterback Damon Allen is out for awhile (I've heard everything from 2-6 weeks). Back-up and heir apparent Spergon Wynn apparently looked good last night though.

You better believe i am a CFL fan. When I lived in Winnipeg I had season tickets. Now I try to watch any games I can. GO Bombers!

It's like looking at your munter of a girlfriend and thinking how much happier you are with her than you would ever be with Keira Knightley. Convince yourself all you want, but one day you'll have to face the truth - CFL sucks more than Raiders in a gay bar.

OK, maybe not that much. Nothing or no-one sucks more than Raiders in a gay bar.

Playing at home, Argos w/o Damon Allen. Winnipeg played excellent defense and special teams against Montreal and led for most of the game...

**BetterBizness** · 06-19-06, 12:12 PM

Regardless of how poorly most people talk about the CFL, the Toronto game got a mention on ESPN Saturday, which wouldn't have ever happened a year ago... Whatever Joe...

**bigboydan** · 06-22-06, 03:30 AM

should be a good game between winnipeg and tornoto this week.

**bigboydan** · 06-23-06, 01:26 AM

can somebody give me the low down on this Wynn kid who will be QB'ing for Tornoto this weekend ?

**scottyy11** · 06-23-06, 02:19 AM

here is some info but not to detailed

Page not found - Toronto Argonauts

http://www.argonauts.ca/Argos/Team/Roster/Spergon_Wynn.html

he has been kicking around for a few years, never gotten a real shot as a #1

just some stats from last week as i know a few said they may bet the cfl after a few weeks

home teams were 4-0 su and ats
under was 3-1

all the home teams were favs making them 4-0 aswell

**bigboydan** · 06-23-06, 02:32 AM

thanks for the info scotty.

**Ira Wilton** · 06-23-06, 04:33 PM

Go Bombers!

**scottyy11** · 06-23-06, 05:58 PM

going with hamilton +2 saturday
1unit

not sure on this game 2night....leaning toronto but don't like being a road fav with backup qb enough to put money on it

ytd 1-1=-.10

**bigboydan** · 06-24-06, 01:59 AM

i'm likely Calgary +5 tomorrow. i'd like to hear your thoughts on this one scotty, because see a few places have it at 4.5 right now.

**scottyy11** · 06-24-06, 03:48 AM

the game last week was decided by turn overs as edmonton had 4 and and Calgary only 1......I only saw the 1st Q so would of like to seen if these were caused by great defense or not taking care of the ball. I think Edmonton qb ricky ray is one of the better ones.

here are the stats from that gm

404

404

pluse home teams are now 5-0 ats and and last weeks losers are having there season openers this week. But having said that I dont think I want to lay -4 or -5 as it does look like alot and i was thinking calgary at first.....this is a big rivalry game as both teams are from alberta been foing back n forth on this ones

**bigboydan** · 06-24-06, 10:48 PM

talk about a boring game so far scotty. but, at least calgary has a 9-1 lead in the 3rd quarter.

**scottyy11** · 06-25-06, 03:09 AM

dan i hope you took calgary.........what a cover, thats one were you just pinch yourself after and hope there is no investigation after lol

i am going with BC -1.5 1unit sunday

what do you think of that one dan? any opinion

**bigboydan** · 06-25-06, 11:40 AM

scotty, i'm usually on the other side of those types of game, but i'll sure take it

i have no opinion on that B.C. game myself.

**bigboydan** · 06-27-06, 01:37 AM

ok guys... i'd like to get your feedback on the Toronto/B.C.Lions game.

Toronto +7 does look inticing to me off the surface. this line to me seems a little out of whack here IMO

**scottyy11** · 06-28-06, 10:39 PM

not sure about that one dan but i'm here with my weekly fades 4u, like the hamilton/calgary under 51.5 for 1.5units so you know there will be 70 points scored lol GL

1-3=-2.1

added 2h calgary -4 -112 4units best bet i have seen yet
