So with the cancellation of the Arena football season this year, it really felt empty the last few months with no football to cap or wager on. The CFL season starts and there is only one play I really like after doing research leading into the start of the season tomorrow.
Montreal and Calgary have very little changes on offense and this was the #1 and #2 offenses in the league last year. Calgary released Armour and he is an impact player who they will miss tremendously on defense. One thing that I do expect is both offenses to be ready to fire away on all cylinders when they open the season tomorrow.
1st leg
Montreal/Calgary Over 45.5
Edmonton has made improvements on all sides of the ball and especially on defense. They also have the defensive minded Hall who ran Sask's #1 rated defense last year as their new head coach. Winnipeg is in my opinion is in a mess. They are starting Lefors at QB who had a whopping 3 weeks to learn the offense and get his timing down with his wideouts. One thing they established is Giles at running back who tore up preseason. Preseason really doesn't mean much and I think this team is going to take weeks before winning a game. Ricky Ray is the best QB in the league or a very close #2 behind Burris.
2nd leg
Edmonton -2.5
Official Play:
7 point teaser (-120 @ Pinnacle)
Edmonton -2.5 & Mont/Cal Over 45.5 (20 units)
I also forgot to mention the last time Montreal played in Calgary, they scored a total of 71 points. Good luck to everyone this season. My this be a prosperous season for all.
