cfl playoff week 2

[1837]

Here's how i see this weekend games:

Winnipeg should roll and Calgary has a chance to beat Edmonton. They are 1-2 vs Edmonton this year but they played them tough. The biggest margin between these too was 10 points (win by Edm). I expect a close fight. So, ONE play for this weekend, a teaser:

Winnipeg +2.5 with Calgary +10.5.

Calgary ML wouldn't be a bad bet in case you have some extra money for that game

Have a nice weekend !

YTD 25-10-1

A few notes on the EDM/CLG matchup:

Meetings this season:
CLG 34 @ EDM 33
EDM 33 @ CLG 32
CLG 23 @ EDM 33

-All 3 meetings this season went over.
-two games were decided by a single point
-EDM won the West with a .500 record, but 12 of the previous 14 division winners have been eliminated in the West Division finals.

I really must agree here 1837 that CLG has a good chance to win this game. Both teams have played quite inconsistently this season, but with CLG coming from behind to beat BC last week I think all the momentum is with them.

Also I am leaning quite a bit toward to the OVER, although I am hesitant to pull the trigger because of the increased defensive enthusiasm that usually occurs during the playoffs...I'm not sure how significant that is in this game however since EDM and CLG have two worst defenses in the league in terms of points allowed.

Believe it or not CLG has actually scored the most points of any team in the CFL this season...EDM is 6th, well below average. However, EDM and CLG are 1 and 2 respectively in offensive yards per game.

Should be great weather for this game, it has been a bizarrely warm November in Edmonton so far...I'll post a late weather update if anything significant develops.

Add it all up and I think there's a good case to be made for the OVER. At 52 the line seems a bit high for a playoff game but it certainly not out of the realm of imagination for this game to go OV.

I'll be going against the hometown green and gold by playing CLG +3.5 and maybe a small amount on the ML too. Also will take a shot a your teaser too 1837.

It's going to be a fine weekend of Canadian football.

GL!
