I would love to see an All western Grey Cup but I just dont see it happening for two reasons:
1. Body Clock on edmonton early game tomorrow for the Eskies vs a team that Starts fast (montreal) means Edmonton is playing from behind all game.
2. Although the line is set -6 Montreal the ML is -440. That is way off -6 in football usually means -220 to -240.
Looks like the books are pretty confident in Montreal winning.
BC vs CGY:
Not only has CGY beaten BC in all 3 games this year they have covered in all 3 games as BC has been the dreaded -3 Favourite ( see jets-ne last night to see what i mean )
Tomorrow they are +6 dogs...... WTF I had to go back to 2001 to find a game when Calgary was favoured this much over BC.
now we have Buono vs Huffnagel - in Playoff coaching experience where do you lean.
I think this game comes down to 2 players - Cam Wake vs Henry Burris, if the BC front 4 gets pressure on Burris (like they have this year 9 sacks) then Smiling hank will throw some INT's.
Wake will most surely pick up a double team for most of the game that leaves Brent Johnson on the other end or Arron Hunt up the Middle in one on ones to exert the pressure. BC's defense has been ball hawking all season and this how they win games. Sacks and INT's -when they win the TO battle they are 10-1 SU this year
If I was Calgary I would keep the ball on the ground with Joffery Reynolds and limit BC's Pass rush and expose their weak Linebacking crew. They probably wont do that though b/c this is a pass first league and Huffnagel is an EX QB and playoff rookie he will make some mistakes. Don't get me worng I think he has done a fantastic job this year but he his team will be exposed tomorrow.
TREND OF THE GAME:

TREND OF THE GAME:
Buono is 18-4 ATS (+13.6 Units) as a road underdog as the coach of BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The average score was BRITISH COLUMBIA 32.5, OPPONENT 27.0 - (Rating = 4*)
The average score was BRITISH COLUMBIA 32.5, OPPONENT 27.0 - (Rating = 4*)
Lions will win outright grab the points and grab some ML when they get around to posting it
