The sharp forecast gives Winnipeg the slight edge with 36 or 37 points to Montreal’s 34 or 36 points.

The stacking forecast has Winnipeg winning with 34 or 36 points to Montreal’s 22 points. Depending on numbers used I see unsophisticated methods near each of the above forecasts and some even give Montreal a one point edge with totals just higher than the offered line of 54.5. The public gauge has Winnipeg winning 28 to 26.

This line opened very early with Winnipeg -2.5 and was picked up around the world at about Winnipeg -1, where it sits now.

As far as the offered spread goes, it’s essentially right with the sharp forecast.

Montreal was under a lot pf pressure at the end of last week and ended up folding to a 38-6 loss. Because of the circumstances last week, bettors want that back money back and are taking the Montreal position while the Winnipeg gets hit by the public and as well as other decision makers representing methods like the stacking forecast.

Outside of some market analyst money hitting Montreal many metrics are split here and bets on the side or moneyline are a sure gamble.

It’s not that the market is tight, because the line has prevented some major traders from entering.

I’m passing on this spread and moneyline as I think we stand to learn more about the flow of money with tonight’s results. Having the ability to pass, something the book for the most part does not have, is a significant advantage and today we exercise that advantage.

The Total opened at the public gauge and ticked upward slightly.

The public is on the Over a bit here and I tend to agree with them. Tonight I am holding off on pressing the sharp forecast for a bold trading play. I think the forecast is good tonight, but I don’t have the metrics to make it an additional trade outside of the standing forecast.
