Edm @ Ham -5.5 (50)

Believe it or not but Saskatchewan is back to "form" and will continue to play with much intensity the rest of the way to catch up from lost ground in the first half of the season.

Mtl giving 8 pts to Wpg goes to show Who's Who in the CFL...the Bombers are not the better than the Alouettes, nevermind the best in the League.

I wouldn't trade him for anybody else in the League...not even your whole D-line. We'll be putting your team where the sun don't shine in Wk 14 cuz we're taking over Top Spot in the East then

Could this be an all home teams weekend?

Think twice about that. A bit trivial but look at this: During the L3Y all four Home Teams were favoured (8X) during the same week and only once did all four cover...and most were in the second half of the season.

I will check for upset trends by late tonight.

[Boris Karloff]

2008 upsets: 15 + 11 = 26

2009 upsets: 14 + 11 = 25 (+ 1 Tie Game)

2010 upsets: 13 + 16 = 29

2011 upsets: 12 + (4) = (16)

-------------------------------------------

Using Opening Vegas Lines (1st Half of Season + 2nd Half of Season = Total Amount of Upsets)

More Outright Upset$ to come in the next 8 Weeks @ 1 per Week avg.

^^^ Well IF there's an upset this weekend, I think Edmonton will serve it. JMO of course.
Not putting any money on it though.

You got it. It's simple Physics, eh? Simpler than E=mc²

Best line I can find for Mtl is -7.5 all week. I don't like it. Guaranteed the Alouettes will show up to play on both D & O but they're playing against the Bombers after all. Montreal will win but will they cover that much? Yes, it's a "Must Win" for them but I also don't like the sked spot as they're playing in Edmonton next week (actually this week--5 days away) and sometimes the dread of leaving town after a game kicks in a day or two before kickoff of the first game. Pass for this time.
