It has been a long while since I have posted or read at the Rx, I have been caught up on the road on business. I will post my plays and forecast opening lines. Last year for those true CFL bettors and Rx readers, you will know that I hit over 64%. This year I have been doing well also and will only start my record as of next week.
ProPlayer -- I do remember. I think the CFL tends to be easier to win at, as the bookies do a poor job of putting together lines. One piece of evidence of this is that through 6 full weeks of the season there is ONLY 1 game where the team that covered was NOT the outright winner. That never happens to that extent in NFL.
Anyway, I look forward to your selections next week. Another piece of info I can use.

Hey Dogman,
You are right about the CFL being easier to win at. NFL takes hundreds of thousands on every game and millions on MNF, ESPN Sunday and of course the Superbowl. Vegas and the books all focus on the major league sports which makes it much harder for the books to book. Also the lack of TV coverage overseas where most of them are located and in the US does not help the situation. Last year I posted my lines and totals prior to the books but this year I will post them Monday afternoon right after the books do so I do not give anyone any form of lean prior to getting in my wagers. The books cover themselves by having a dime limit, two dime limit if you are playing with Cris or Pinny before gametime. This week is tricky with Montreal covering AGAIN but playing a high explosive offense in BC. Ottawa, Kerry Joseph is still questionable and if he plays will not be 100%. Winny looking like garbage against a weak BC team last week and having to go into Edmonton playing their best football of the year. Hamilton and Sask is easier to set the line for, you may get some value on Hamilton because Sask killed Calgary with Keith coming back to form running the ball. Burris was average and expect Danny Mac to put up some points against Sask. Overall there is tons of money to be made in the smaller sports like CFL and Arena Football opposed to NFL, NBA, MLB etc. The lines are a lot sharper with the majors. Good luck for the rest of the season to you Dogman and everyone here at the Rx.

Opening Lines @ Greek:
Mon -9 BC (58)
Edm -9 Win (56)
Sask -4.5 Ham (56)
My predicted lines:
Mon -7.5 BC (57.5)
Edm -7.5 Win (58.5)
Sask -4 (56.5)
Play #1 Edm/Win over 56
Play #2 Edmonton/Montreal moneyline parlay -138
Forecasted plays:
If Montreal gets to anything less than a TD (6.5 or less), I will hammer Montreal. Printers has a good game against one of the worst if not the worst defenses in the league, Winnipeg. Going up against the #1 or #2 D behind Toronto and by far the #1 offense right now, BC's D is going to get torched on every possession by Montreal.
I think Henry Burris is garbage and if the money comes in on Sask which it already has, I will bet Hamilton if it gets high enough. +7 and up for sure I will take the points.
One more play to add to my current two plays when the lines come out. I will release that play once the line comes out and I wager it. Good luck all and I will post HT's and additional wagers if there are any.

Hey Winky,
Good luck on your BC play. Printers looked really good against a weak Winnipeg defense. This is the #1 D and #1 O in the league. This game is like being at the Roulette table and seeing 6 reds hit in a row, what do you do?? Bet red thinking it is bound to go the other way? I normally ride a train going full speed not stand in front of it. Good luck on your play, it could be a good game and BC covers or it can get really ugly if Montreal gets to Printers.
3rd official play:
Montreal team over 33 -105 @ 5dimes.

Ruff week, survived off that Edmonton game. Montreal really hurt scoring their franchaise low in over a decade 9 points. 1-4 start is not a way to start, ironically the time you post is the time you take a hit. That is how the story goes. Tonight taking the under in Montreal 54. Look out for a lot of running and clock management by Sask. Keith will touch the ball at least 17-20 times to try to keep Montreal's D off the field. Took Montreal moneyline @ -500 but that will obviously not count as a win if it wins. They will not lose two in a row and watch how bad Burris struggles against that Montreal D.
Looks like I am back on track with a 3-0 start this week and my moneyline Montreal which will not be counted. Also took BC 2nd half -7 but will not count the play since I did not post it. New record (4-4 .500%).
Evan I need to wait until tomorrow to make a decision about the game. It is forecasted to rain all day and night. If it was good weather, the over is the play. The two worst defenses in the game and average offenses. In regards to Calgary, they may win but because they are practicing running the ball, does not mean they can run. They have two full backs playing the RB position. It is a coin flip, I think Winny is the better team but they are playing in Calgary. This game is a real pick. Check back tomorrow for a side if I like one.

Okay, eariler thier was 27 MPH wind and light rain in Calgary which was a little scary. Now it has cleared up with 80% chance of light rain only for the night. With that in mind my pick:
6.5 point teaser:
OVER 51 Winny/Cal
Toronto +7.5
Toronto +1 (Take it ASAP, Bowmans down to a PICK from Canadian money)
If you put a gun to my head and forced me to bet, I would take Winny but I am not touching the side. Good Luck!!
(4-4 .500% This season)

Time for today's play. The game is in Toronto so weather will not be a factor since the dome could easily close and there is 0% of rain. Toronto is coming off a bye week with plenty time to prepare for a great offense in Edmonton. I think the main question that everyone is asking is... Will Edmonton score? I can promise you that Toronto will score. They should have had at least 45-49 points against Ottawa but three costly turnovers in the red zone and Brady backup QB fumbling on his 1st play and looking like garbage on his 2nd series caused Toronto to score only 28 points against Ottawa. We all know that Edmonton's D gives up points and Toronto's does not. If this is a shootout, Toronto will have a bunch of points on the board, if Toronto shuts them down, that means Toronto sees the ball more, they will have a bunch of points on the board. Which leads me to my play of the day:
TORONTO Team Over 26 -105
TORONTO Team Over 26 -105
