HAMILTON +1.25 over Toronto (5Dimes)
As it turns out, and six weeks is a pretty good indicator of who’s who, and with no disrespect to Winnipeg, the Argos just might be the worst team in the CFL. They’re stale, their defense can’t stop anyone and they’re very fortunate to be 3-3. The Argos are not a .500 team and with the way the Tiger-Cats are coming on, it would appear that the Ti-Cats will expose them once again, as they did in week 2 as a 10½ point underdog and beat the Argos straight up. The Ti-Cats have looked real bad at times but they’ve also looked pretty good and you can just sense that they’re on to something good. They have a tremendous running game and back-up QB Richie Williams looked very dangerous last week in Montreal, a 40-33 Alouette win. Williams has it all as far as QB skills to make a huge impact in this league. He can run like nobody else and he can throw the ball too. Frankly, the Argos look to be in big trouble here because of a run defense that’s last in the league, allowing 150 yards per game on the ground. The Argos offense is a two and out waiting to happen, as Kerry Joseph looks lost most of the time out there. We also like the Ti-Cats defense, which is ready to make a statement soon too. What we expect here is a combined, solid game from both the offense and defense and we really do expect the Ti-Cats to bury this very vulnerable and overrated invader. This is a well-coached Hamilton team and despite losing last week the coaches and players knew they were on to something good. You could just see it in their body language. Play: Hamilton +1.30 (Risking 3 units).

Side Note to Doug.

You must not have seen Charlie Taffe's amazing play call to pass the ball on 2nd and 3 with Williams who got sacked and not run Lumsden in 3 down territory to get in FG range late in the game against the Esks 2 weeks ago. I have been watching football for decades and that was simply pathetic coaching at its finest. Trust me this team is far from well coached infact Taffe is one of the worst CFL coaches in the whole league. Good luck tonight!

Printers and Lumsden are both out ....hard to play the Cats with those injuries. ...Although anything can happen in a game between these 2 at Ivor Wynn

Listen if Toronto, who get two key guys back on defense tonight, can't beat Hamilton, with both Lumsden and Printers out of their lineup, in a revenge-type CFL game, then I have nothing more to conclude other than to say that they are not worthy of even being classified as a CFL team or a team at that level for that matter.
Furthermore, I'll go as far as to say that if Toronto loses this game SU tonight, then it's downright 'fixed'.
That's it & bol!

not fixed..........Argos stink

In my younger years I played some highish level sports. No "I'm going to the Majors" type stuff.

Seen weird things. Lost some that were crazy and won some.
Don't see a fix with two shitty teams.

That is correct. Low and behold they are one of the worst teams in the whole league this year. Will be lucky to win 7 or 8 games.

Taafe does not even know all of the rules yet. His challenges and lack thereof are abysmal as well. His body language and sad interviews tell you how weak he is as a leader.Marshall should have never been fired. This team was 9-8-1 a few years back and Marshall was COY. However, closer inspection revealed that the team conceded 96 more points than they scored that year rendering them a fake. In the off season that followed, they made NOT one new acquisition and Marshall gets 86'd 4 games into the year.

Imagine if Richie had an O-line that could hold the opposition for more than 3/4 of a steamboat.The guy was 2 stars last nite with the 3rd being split between Caulley and special teams.Honorable mention to a fairly stalwart defense as well.

These guys will never play for Printers. There is still tons of resentment the way he blew into town with his massive ego and $800K contract. He played with a brutal turf toe in B.C. I sat one game with B.C. owner Dave Brayley ( who resides in Burlington,ON) and he described that injury and how bad that toe was as it pointed straight up.Printers' current thumb injury is not that bad. I think he got yanked. He should defer $400 K to Richie Williams.

We get the Argos one more time on Labour Day. Maybe we go 5-13.(I'll add a couple of soft home wins vs. napping teams with little to play for later in season)


P.S. Woodcock was a lot faster when he wore Alouettes bleu et rouge!

Just my .02
