CFL on TSN Power Rankings:

[3] Winnipeg: Took over first in East Division with win over Als
[5] Edmonton: Move into a tie with Stamps for top spot in the West
[1] Calgary: Were handed fourth home-field loss in six attempts
[2] Montreal: Calvillo held to 22 completions on 39 attempts

[6] Saskatchewan: Fantuz returns as Riders get third straight win
[4] Hamilton: Gave up five sacks in the loss to the Esks

3/4 games are basicably @ Pk so no true upsets there thus no big cash.

I'm looking into the possibilities for Toronto and like them a bit so far but not by much.

You know what happened to the home teams last weekend don't ya?
Only one prevailed.

Man am I glad the NFL is in full swing, the CFL is getting too unpredictable for my wallet.

I can't understand why you say this because all the cappers in here are in the groove with what they say and their picks. And it gets easier as the season closes down.

I haven't watched one NFL game yet this season and don't intend to until possibly after the Grey Cup Game. I don't even know who has been traded and who has retired.

If there's room for unpredictability it would be in the NFL before the CFL imo.
Well, maybe not, nevermind what i just said.

Another good source of info for you to browse is the contest picks thread. Top contestants will stay in the race the rest of the way, so matching your thoughts with those is very valuable.

Re: your parlays...how many selections do you play per ticket?

Well considering that in 2011, road teams have a 50% success record. It has been 28 years since road teams won as many or more than home teams, going 36-35-1 in 1983. CFL.ca - Official Site of the Canadian Football League

I'd say that compared to the NFL where at least half the teams if not more do a pretty good job at protecting home field, then CFL IS unpredictable. But maybe it's because it's my first season betting on the CFL.
Who knows?

Anderson didn't make the trip

Tim Maypray & Michael Giffin are in

Kerry Watkins and Shea Emry have been transferred to the 1 game IL

Somehow I still believe the Alouettes Win by up to a TD.

Montreal's Special Teams are still below par but have improved steadily week to week. They were the worst in the League at one point. Let's put that one behind for anticipating the lockeroom with the lead...but then again Jason Armstead ain't no rookie at this--he was doing the same punt maze returns with the Ottawa Renegades.
