I bet it, it's one of the few niche sports thats available at every sports book in Vegas (WNBA being the other). CFL is a lot more popular amongst Vegas bettors than offshore bettors.
The season starts next week, right?
Here are my rankings.
1. Calgary
2. Edmonton
3. Montreal
4. Hamilton
5. Winnipeg
6. BC
7. Ottawa
8. Toronto
9. Saskatoon
Oddsmakers have Hamilton as a clear favorite to win their division & only behind Calgary to win the 2015 Grey Cup.
Playing at 2014 champions Calgary in week one (in a few days) they are only 6.5 point dogs. Compare Toronto, considered the 2nd best in the East, who are 4.5 point underdogs, at home, to Edmonton.
In the CFL sherwood has had a winning season each of the past 4 years for +56 units.
He has had plus units in 8 of the past 10 seasons, for +71 units overall.
The only two losing years were only minus 2 & 3 units.
Seems he knows his stuff, not only in the CFL, but MLB & the NHL, etc.
And all the picks are posted publicly & given away absolutely free.
Invest!
Ottawa seems like they should be improved offensively. Burris is solid and the offensive line should give him more time to throw this year. That being said I'm not sure what to make of the defense. I like their defensive line but I'm not entirely sure why they didn't do better last year. I suppose part of their issue was the offense not keeping them off the field for long. The squad is definitely improved and could challenge for a playoff spot but I'm going to take a wait and see approach to see how the new offensive pieces work together.
Not sure if i would call Burris "solid" Jake. He was retired last year when he got the call. When he did play in the final few games, he was erratic as hell. Now he doesn't have a good cast around him, he's over 40 and he's a HUGE liability in my opinion. He'll fill in for now.
