Some thoughts on the Rider/Bomber game

[Thomas]

First off I was sure disappointed to see the Riders open up at -3, was hoping to see something closer to 7 actually. The Riders have been a good go against the last couple of games due mostly to injury problems almost everywhere. There has not been a whole lot of change as far as I can see and this very problem has been glaringly obvious in their last two losses, add in 3 fourth qtr amazing comebacks before that and you can see where this is gong. I'm a fan and I love the moxy these guys have shown and I like what the management has brought here this season but I still think the Riders are in some trouble this weekend against a desperate Bomber squad.

They brought in Bishop from TO this week and there's talk of him even starting this game, big front page news here in the queen city, but I don't get what all the excitement is about to be quite honest. The Riders who traded Kerry Joseph to the Argos now have the guy he replaced there coming here to save our sorry ass, doesn't make sense to me. I haven't bet this game yet, I think I'll let the hype build a bit and see if we can get some line movement. More on this later.

I got -4 opener at the greek....

Now -3 hard to go against Sask at home Under looks tempting.

Bishop will be over throwing a and missing receivers. Sask defense is good at stuffing TDs in FGs.

GL with your play

Love the point of Bishop now in sask to replace Joseph gotta imagine as soon as durant is better michael is back on the pine.

you see argos released steinhauer as well.

Yeah this line is going away from me at this point, see some 3's now and the greek is 3.5. I think people will be thinking like me a bit and we may see 2.5 or less by gametime.

OK the line has moved to -6 here in Regina with the local, 5's and 5.5's are popping up around the net. Still think the riders are getting too much respect here, today they start Bishop their 4th qb this season to go along with about 15 injuries, Winnipeg is fairly healthy for this game. Weather may be poor as rain and wind are forecast, right now as I look out my window it is overcast and 15C with about a 20-25 km wind, forecast is for winds of up to 60 km as the day moves on.


Parlay +444 - 1/2 unit
Winnipeg +185ml
Game Under 50

Winnipeg +6 - 1 unit

gl today, Tom

GL thomas - I did a complete 180 on this game and like the riders....

Think about it why is the linemoving with a new QB starting....


Winnipeg is bad football team and Glenn will get picked off a couple of times in the wind.

Same to you powerz, I won't be surprised to see the riders pull this off it is an electric atmosphere here today.

I think both teams will try to establish the running game and limit the qb's exposure a bit although the bombers have their recievers all back for this one. hoping for a good game one way or the other.
