Liking the Giants ml tonight in NY...Although Mike Pelfry has improved the last few starts..he won't get the same kind of run support with Lincecum on the hill against him...Oak RL is worth a look as an alternate at home vs Seattle

Enjoy Everybody!

A rare chance to get behind the Marlins ML as they send arguably their best starter Scott Olsen out against the Rockies...NYM RL is a decent alternate at Philly tonight.

Enjoy Everybody!

Anytime you can get a SF ml play behind Lincecum, you have to grab it, even against the Cubs...Florida ML is a decent alternate at Colorado tonight, what with Mark Redman starting for Colorado...

Enjoy Everybody!

Canadian Pro Football Week #2 by Coach
Jul 02, 2008 | 3:15PM | report this

Well..an Ok but not great start last week....2-2 spread,  3-1 totals....let's see what Week #2 brings...

Hamilton at Toronto(-11)   48 1/2    Thurs 7 pm est

Hamilton fully showed their youth last week....although 11 points would normally give me pause...i feel Hamilton is just as bad as they showed last week...they will get better as the year goes on but this will not be the week it starts...

Toronto -11   Over 48 1/2

 

Calgary  at   Edmonton +3    53 1/2   Thurs 10 pm est

If not for Hamilton, Edmonton would clearly be the worst team in the league..this pick is a no brainer....even with EDM at home..

Calgary -3    Under 53 1/2

 

Winnipeg at Montreal  -1    45 1/2   Fri 7 pm est

Although you could argue that  it is tough to evaluate Mon based on the horrific game played by Hamilton last week....I liked what I saw...and they are at home vs a WPG team that stunk out its own yard last week vs Toronto....enough said.

Montreal -1   over 45 1/2

 

Saskatchewan at B.C  - 5 1/2    51 1/2   Fri 10pm est

If B.C is as good  as everyone thought they were coming into the season then now is the time to show it...Sask looked good at home...let's see how they fare in arguably the toughest road venue in the league..

B.C - 5 1/2    under 51 1/2

Enjoy Everyody!

Canadian Pro Football starts TONIGHT!!! by Coach
Jun 26, 2008 | 1:56PM | report this
Ok, time to recoup my baseball losses.. Laughing

For my American friends, here is a link to the US Broadcast schedule....

www.cfl.ca/page/u-s-br...st-webcast

In addition, all games should be available on broadband at the same site.

Week 1 Picks:

Montreal at Hamilton -2 45 1/2 Tonight - 7pm est

Have to go with experience here with Montreal over an improved but very young Hamilton team...T-storms in the forecast will temper the offences somewhat...

The Pick: Montreal +2, Under 45 1/2


B.C at Calgary +3 54 1/2 Tonight - 10pm est

B.C. should once again be the class of the league this year...but get a nasty opener at Cal####, but should have enough to get it done....too many points for my taste for Week 1....

The Pick: B.C -3 Under 54 1/2


Toronto at Winnipeg -2 43 1/2 Friday - 8pm est

Toronto has a much improved offence this year and that plus their always stellar D will be enough here....T Storms in the forcast will slow down the Offences somewhat, but 43 1/2 is low for a CFL game...

The Pick: Toronto +2 Over 43 1/2

Edmonton at Saskatchewan - 4 1/2 53 1/2 Saturday 7:30 pm est

The defending champs have a new Coach and a new QB...so I am in show me mode for now... way too many points for me...

The Pick: Emonton +4 1/2 under 53 1/2

Enjoy Everybody!!
