Only two games this week and very little jumps out at me as a great play. My initial thoughts are that a pair of Unders is worth considering, it's hard to bet against Montreal right now and the situation in Winnipeg is worth keeping an eye on during the week. They might be on the verge of completely falling apart for the season up there.

I always kinda thought that Winnipeg matched up well against the pre-Armour Lions, so I probably won't make a play on that game. It's also hard to lay 12 with the Alouettes against an inconsistent Riders squad.

If the Lions didn't pick up Armour (and somehow overhaul their run defence) I would have been all about the over in this game. Winnipeg IMO is probably the worst team against the pass. With Jackson likely starting, I still think BC shreds that secondary, but now I'm not so sure how Reid will do.

I am compulsive, so will probably look at teasing the Lions/Bombers Over with either the Lions or Als. Still pondering.... not a huge fan of CFL teasers either.

Things are very shaky in Winnipeg. I read a quote from Mike Kelly today where he was very defensive and said, "I haven't lost control of the clubhouse."

When a coach says that, it usually means, "I've lost control of the clubhouse."

Kelly is definitely a weird dude. He always comes off as such a hard ass, but then he chooses to laugh at the most inappropriate times (ie: when they made a FG last week, but were still down a ton of points, he seemed to be pretty happy to just get the FG).

He pretty much committed to LeFors and never using the shotgun formation before the season started. Now look at him... it's messed up, that's for sure.

I noticed that also, him laughing after the field goal. It did seem out of place.

They're talking about bringing in an "offensive consultant" to help, which sounds a lot like taking the team out from under Kelly.

Little out of pace............never saw last week's games.
Managed a win though.....lucky I guess...
I was busy getting edumucated.

A lot of guyz at the Bash enjoy CFL.......I was actually shocked by the knowledge some had. Gamblers, eh?

Leaning Leos over and a couple of sectional totals.

Will post up.
