Play: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 7.0 (-109)
It's been a year of Quarter-Back injuries this year in the Canadian Football and yet another QB has gone down for a considerable amount of time; Matt Nichols will miss 4-6 weeks after suffering a should injury in week 10. The question really comes down to how much does that impact the Blue Bombers as a team and as a team covering the point spread? I see this as WAY to large of a number that Winnipeg is getting after the loss of Nichols, Blue Bombers backup QB Chris Streveler is still a solid QB with plenty of confidence that can come in and make a difference and he has proved that in the past. Last season Streveler passed for 8 touchdowns and had just 2 Interceptions. The Blue Bombers (7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS) are still healthy on all other fronts and will look to rely on veteran QB Andrew Harris, Lucky Whitehead and Nic Demski to get the job done offensively. This number is far too big for a team that is 7-2 on the season and has talent all over the field and I believe Streveler is really being undervalued here in this spot. The Eskimos are coming off a huge win vs the Argos but I don't expect them to win by Margin vs a #1 team like Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Meetings vs the Eskimos and I expect this one to being a very competitive western conference battle. Play for 5%

Rotation # 957-958
Cardinals -105 over Brewers
Wacha/Gonzalez
The Cardinals have been the hottest team in the National League the last two weeks and are holding on to a slight lead in the NL Central. This is a big series for the division and wild card race. Milwaukee only could get one hit last night and this is not exactly the best time of the year for the bats to go cold. In a playoff type setting I have to go with the better bullpen. Gio Gonzalez doesn’t pitch deep into games so the advantage goes to St. Louis once the bullpens take over. Take the Cardinals.
