CFL Future

I bet Sask at 10-1 to win the Grey Cup at bowmans, really think this is a bargain considering this good team was a missed FG away from the big game last year, they will have stud-Dominguez for the entire season and it was no coincidence they were a contender when he came back from the NFL. They actually have 2 starting QB's so if Green sputters, Marcus Crandell can come in. Good kicking game with a very good defense. I'm not much of a future's bettor but this one seemed good.

On paper they have a top tier team again. Their main problem every year is they do not have a legit passing attack. Its obvious in a league where the field is so huge you have to utilize the passing option. If they were to acquire an accurate QB I would agree they would be championship material. Combine that outstanding run attack with a competent passing threat and they would be handful. Until then they will always fall short. Coaching isn't stellar either imo.

Still value though.

the only question is the QB situation,, they have a great D and excellent running game... But can they overcome the loss of Henry Burress ?? Nealon Greene is a very good QB but time will tell if he can fill the shoes of Burress... It will be a tough battle between Edm, BC and Sask to come out of the west this season..

The West is always tough, They need to get a home playoff game which they have not done since 1988. BC is better in my mind this year than last and is the class of the west in my mind. With only 8 teams a 10-1 value on a quality team like the Riders was a good value play.

I agree. With 8 teams, Sask is a 10-1 dog? No brainer. Go Riders!

They have a good team, you know that whole McCallum thing last year, they were a chipshot away from the Grey Cup, Nealon's consistency worries me a bit, but we'll see
