PREVIEW

ARGOS, RIDERS KICK OFF SEASON IN EASTERN FINAL REMATCH

REGINA ? The reigning Grey Cup Champs begin the quest of defending their title tonight as the Toronto Argonauts face off against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a rematch of last year?s Eastern Final at new Mosaic Stadium in Regina.

The taste of bitter defeat from November still lingers for Riders players and fans alike after a devastating loss at the hands of the Double Blue. Saskatchewan was less than three minutes away from a Grey Cup berth when future hall of famer Ricky Ray worked his magic, orchestrating a late touchdown drive that pulled the Argos ahead.

The rest is history as the Toronto went on the stun the Calgary Stampeders in the 105th Grey Cup presented by Shaw to claim their 17th CFL title.

But the past is in the past. Rather than resting on their laurels, the Argos are looking forward to what is ahead.

?Obviously when you win you are enjoying it for a few weeks after the Grey Cup and into the holidays,? Ray told Argonauts.ca. ?But once the new year roles around you?re getting focused on what you need to do to get ready for the upcoming year.?

The Argos run to the Grey Cup was considered unlikely by most after a disastrous 2016 season campaign and tumultuous off-season. Head coach Scott Milanovich left the team for an NFL opportunity a few months before training camp was set to start, and general manager Jim Barker was fired.

Enter Marc Trestman and Jim Popp.

In just one season, they turned the Double Blue from worst to first in the CFL. The Argos are considered by many as the top team in the East heading into the 2018 season.

Trestman says that while his methods haven?t changed, there is more familiarity heading into his second season with the team.

?We just had a different plan last year because we were on a shorter stick in terms of getting ourselves ready,? said Trestman . ?The obvious things are you do have relationships with the players that you coach. You are able to have a little more fun with them?we just know each other better and that just makes it more fun.?

The Argos? core group from their 2017 championship squad is intact. Ray will lead the charge on offence, flanked by last year?s Most Outstanding Rookie James Wilder Jr. at running back, and the seemingly ageless S.J. Green as a top target.

The Argos bolstered their already-strong defence with some new additions. T.J. Heath is back with the Boatmen after the team traded him two seasons ago to Winnipeg, while ex-BC Lion Ronnie Yell will be making his Double Blue debut at cornerback on Friday.

Yell says that the secondary will be in tough against a potent Riders offence.

?You?ve got names like Duron Carter, [Naaman] Roosevelt, [Caleb] Holley over there,? said Yell. ?A couple of new additions. They?re exciting and always make big plays so our job is to stop them, contain them and win the game.?

Abdul Kanneh, after being acquired by the Argos in a trade with Hamilton on Sunday, is on the one-game injured list and will have to wait to make his Argos debut. The team could also be without Bear Woods and Taylor Reed for a while, and will lean on Terrence Plummer at middle linebacker.

The biggest question heading into Week 1 for the Riders is at quarterback. Will it be Zach Collaros or Brandon Bridge under centre against the Argos?

While Collaros is listed as the starter on the team?s depth chart, there is still no definitive answer.

?We?ll see, we?ll see,? responded Jones on Thursday when asked if Collaros would take the first snap of Week 1.

?They both work extremely hard and our offensive staff has done a nice job with them. They know what their roles are and exactly how things are going to work out.?

It?s expected that Collaros will make his first start as a Rider. The veteran pivot, who?s back to wearing his old number 17, is looking to bounce back after a pair of disappointing seasons in Hamilton. The 29-year-old suffered a devastating knee injury back in 2015 while on pace to be named Most Outstanding Player, and is trying to get back to that level.

A fresh start in Riderville may just do the trick.

?I?m just really excited to play football,? Collaros told Riderville.com. ?I?m really excited about the group that we have here. It?s a great locker room of guys who really care about each other and love the game and that?s all you can really ask for.?

Collaros will have two of the top receivers in the league with Carter and Roosevelt at his disposal. While Saskatchewan?s offence is a force to reckoned with, Riderville was shocked by the release of three veteran receivers last week.

Rob Bagg, Bakari Grant, and Chad Owens were sent packing just days before the start of the season. Bagg was a favourite in Riderville and a mainstay on the Green and White for almost a decade. Grant was coming off of a plus 1000-yard season. Owens brought a wealth of knowledge to the locker room.

The move shows that the Riders mean business.

?It?s a young man?s game unfortunately,? said Jones. ?We had a couple of young guys that preformed really over the course of the entire camp.?

The Riders also released offensive guard Travis Bond. Jarvis Harrison, another international, beat him out for the starting job, leaving Bond, one of the team?s big off-season additions, out of the plans. The Riders? O-line will be under the microscope on Friday after being called out by Jones following the pre-season finale.

Despite some tough cuts on offence, the Riders appear stronger on both sides of the ball thanks to two new additions Jerome Messam will look to make a statement in his return to Saskatchewan, who he previously played for in 2014 and 2015. The 33-year-old running back is coming off of his third 1000-yard season and shows no signs of slowing down.

On defence, the Riders have added last year?s sack leader and four-time CFL All-Star Charleston Hughes. The one-two punch of Hughes and Willie Jefferson on opposite sides of the defensive line could cause nightmares for opposing quarterbacks, starting with Ricky Ray, who?s not exactly known for his foot speed.

Cruchin? Numbers:

4 ? Number of game last season that then-rookie James Wilder Jr. recorded 100-plus yards.

10 ? Touchdown passes needed by Ricky Ray to surpass the legendary Ron Lancaster for fourth all-time.

11 ? League leading sacks by Charleston Hughes last season.

12 ? Straight starts for Zach Collaros without a win, tied for a league-worst record.

It?s a coin toss when it comes to who will prevail under the Friday night lights.

Our experts are split right down the middle.

Will the Argos pick up right where they left off, or will the Riders take their season opener in front of their always ruckus home town crowd?

Kickoff is at 9 p.m. ET and can be seen on TSN, RDS and ESPN2.

GAME RECAP

DEFENCE SHINES BRIGHT AS RIDERS DOWN ARGOS AT MOSAIC

REGINA ? All eyes were on the Saskatchewan Roughriders offence and Zach Collaros ahead of Friday night?s contest but it was the team?s defence that stole the show in their 27-19 win over the Toronto Argonauts.

Saskatchewan?s defensive unit held Toronto to just four points in the first half and disrupted Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray throughout the entire night on their way to victory at Mosaic Stadium.

Charleston Hughes made an immediate impact in his Roughriders debut, recording three sacks on Ray in the first half alone, and defensive back Nick Marshall scored a pick-six late in the contest.

Collaros, yet another Rider making his first start in the green and white, spread the ball evenly among his receivers, hitting nine different targets through the air, including running back Jerome Messam, on the way to his first win with his new team. He finished his night throwing for 203 yards and connecting on 18 of his 25 pass attempts.

Naaman Roosevelt scored a touchdown for the Riders in the win and kicker Brett Lauther was good on four of his five field goal attempts.

After a lackluster first half that saw Ray throw for just 71 yards, the Argonauts pivot ended the night with 232 passing yards and an interception. His backup, James Franklin, scored a touchdown on a quarterback sneak and threw a touchdown pass to Declan Cross in the second half but it wasn?t enough for a comeback.

Both teams took the first few possessions of the contest to feel each other out as each defence stood tall on either side, trading two-and-outs as things got under way at Mosaic Stadium.

The Boatmen?s defence put early pressure on Collaros, who was making his debut in Rider green, with Cleyon Laing and Shawn Lemon both recording a sack on the former Hamilton Tiger-Cats pivot.

The first point of the contest was scored on a rouge and Toronto took a 1-0 lead just over five minutes in.

Collaros started to put first downs together as he got more comfortable with the Roughriders offence late in the first quarter. A 16-yard catch from Duron Carter and two penalties (15 yards each) to Argos defensive back T.J. Heath moved Saskatchewan down the field and into Toronto territory. Collaros kept rolling with No. 89, tossing an incompletion to his receiver and then an 11-yard grab for a first down, as the pair started to build some early chemistry. That drive set up a 32-yard missed field goal from Lauther to tie the score at 1-1.

As Ray tried to generate some offence for his Argonauts, Hughes recorded his 100th career sack, which was also Hughes? first as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, forcing Toronto to punt the ball away.

To start the second quarter, Lauther hit his second field goal attempt of the evening, this one from 45-yards out, to give the Riders their first lead of the contest (4-1).

Once again the Riders defence held the Argos to a two-and-out on Toronto?s next possession. Ed Gainey broke up the pass intended for S.J. Green on first and 10 and Willie Jefferson knocked down Ray?s next pass attempt, forcing Pfeffer to punt the ball away.

Collaros tossed his first touchdown pass as Rider to Roosevelt to put the home team up 11-1 as the quarterback continued to gain confidence as the game progressed. A third down gamble (which was a 34-yard completion to Caleb Holley) proved to be the right play call as it extended the drive that started on their own 30-yard line and set up for the major score.

Lauther hit his second-straight field goal to add three more points to the Riders lead. The 43-yard kick put Saskatchewan up 14-1 with under three minutes left in the half.

Hughes continued to make Ray?s night miserable as he added his third sack of the game late in the second quarter.

On that same drive, Pfeffer?s 35-yard field goal sailed through the uprights to cut Saskatchewan?s lead to 14-4 as the half finished and the teams went to their respective locker rooms.

Collaros finished the first half connecting on 12 of his 16 passes for 142 yards and a major score as he started to settle in. His counterpart, Ray, completed just six of his 13 passes for 71 yards after 30 minutes.

Toronto started the second half with the ball, hoping that the break from action would kick start their offence. The Riders defence had other plans, however, forcing Toronto to punt the ball away.

Pfeffer added another single for the Argonauts on his team?s next series, cutting Saskatchewan?s lead to 14-5 in the third quarter.

Collaros continued the momentum on his team?s side late in the third quarter, moving the sticks into field goal range. Lauther was good on his 46-yard attempt, increasing Saskatchewan?s lead to 17-5.

Toronto had the ball to start the fourth quarter and a marched down the field to set up Franklin?s one-yard sneak for his team?s first major score of the contest. With Pfeffer?s point after, the touchdown score cut the Riders lead to 17-12.

Saskatchewan?s defence continued to roll late in the fourth quarter, as Nick Marshall picked off Ray and took it to the house for a touchdown. The 65-yard return put the Riders up 24-12.

Toronto wasn?t ready to give up just yet. On the team?s next drive, Franklin tossed a touchdown pass to Cross with 2:16 left in the game to cut the Riders lead to 24-19.

With a five-point lead, Collaros and his offence stepped back onto the field and moved into field goal range where Lauther made his 32-yard attempt to put the Riders up 27-19 with 13 seconds left on the clock.

Ray and the Argonauts hit the field for one last chance to move down the sticks but were unsuccessful and the Riders started their 2018 season off with a win.

The Riders head to the nation?s capital next week to take on the Ottawa REDBLACKS while the Toronto Argonauts are at home to host the Calgary Stampeders.

Saturday, June 16

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-12 SU, 9-9 ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (13-4-1 SU, 8-10 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -9
Total: 53

Game Overview

The Tigers-Cats have been front page news in the States heading into the new season with the addition of former Cleveland Browns? quarterback Johnny Manziel to the roster. June Jones, who was a head coach in the NFL with Atlanta continues to stick with Jeremiah Masoli as his starter, but that could be subject to change if Hamilton falls behind early on Saturday night. The Tiger-Cats started last season with eight straight-up losses before turning things around with a 6-4 record over their last 10 games.

Calgary has been the best CFL team in the regular season for the past two years, but its quest for a Grey Cup came up short in back-to-back losses to Ottawa and Toronto in the title game. The Stampeders started the 2016 season with a stunning Week 1 loss to BC as 2 ?-point road favorites. Last season, they had to settle for a SU tie against Ottawa in Week 1 as six-point favorites on the road. They closed out the 2017 campaign with a 0-6 record ATS in their final six games.

Betting Trends

-- Hamilton has been able to cover in five of its last seven road games against Calgary and the total has stayed UNDER in nine of the last 11 meetings overall.

Montreal Alouettes (3-15 SU, 8-10 ATS) at British Columbia Lions (7-11 SU, 8-8-1 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -6 ?
Total: 49

Game Overview

Montreal has nowhere to go but up as the longest shot in the CFL futures (+1800) to win the 2018 Grey Cup. In an effort to get things going in the other direction after winning just three games last season, Mike Sherman was brought in as head coach after making a name for himself in the NFL. It appears that Drew Willy will get the call at quarterback after getting the majority of the reps in the preseason.

The Lions finished last in the West in 2017 in light of some stiff competition from the other four teams, but there is still enough talent on both sides of the ball to stay in the mix this time around. Jonathon Jennings is penciled in as BC?s starter at quarterback after throwing for 3,639 yards and 16 touchdowns in 15 starts last season. He also tossed 19 interceptions, which were the most in the league. The Lions added quarterback Cody Fajardo as a free agent in the offseason.

Betting Trends

-- BC is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 home games against Montreal and the total has stayed UNDER in 11 of the last 16 meetings at BC Place.

GAME RECAP

WHEN IT COUNTS: STAMPS COME ALIVE IN FOURTH TO TOP TICATS

CALGARY ? It took just over three full quarters but the Calgary Stampeders offence came alive when it counted most, finding pay dirt in the fourth quarter and outlasting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28-14 in their season opener Saturday evening at McMahon Stadium.

Despite passing for over 200 yards in the first half it was the Stampeders run game that fueled the home squad in the final frame with Don Jackson and Terry Williams combining for 117 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in the contest.

The Ticats ? who held the lead for a good majority of the game ? ran into an active Stampeders secondary down the stretch which shut down Jeremiah Masoli who passed for 302 yards on just under 70% passing.

One of the subplots in this matchup was how the young and inexperienced Tiger-Cats secondary would net out against a veteran-laden Stampeders offence. Despite scrimmaging from their own seven-yard line to start the game, Calgary pressed the issue early as Mitchell connected twice with Reggie Begelton totaling 70 yards to set up a 23-yard Rene Paredes field goal to open the contest 3-0.

The Stampeders continued to move the ball with ease for the remainder of the first quarter but would lament a few missed opportunities as three overthrows stalled Calgary drives.

Despite being in control most of the opening frame the Stamps would surrender the first major of the game when Masoli helped get his team out of a second-and-long deep in his own end.

Facing pressure, Masoli stepped into a deep throw down the near sideline to WR Mike Jones who had a step on his man and turned a catch-and-run into a 76-yard gain. On the ensuing play, Masoli went play-action, froze the Stampeders defensive front and scampered 13-yards untouched for the major and a 7-6 Ticats lead heading into the second quarter.

As the second quarter rolled on, it was the tale of two quarterbacks looking to attack in different ways. Despite some incompletions, Mitchell continued to stretch the field while Masoli took what he could underneath. Both moved the ball well but could not capitalize once in opposing territory.

The teams traded a pair of field goals before the half with Hamilton holding a slim 11-9 advantage.

Despite each defence forcing drives to come to a halt, both pivots each put up over 200 yards passing in the first half with Masoli completing passes at a rate of 84%.

Masoli continued to operate at a high efficiency when the third quarter began but two consecutive positive possessions ended just past midfield ? one by fumble, one by sack.

The Stamps also had challenges gaining traction in the third against a Ticats defence that despite giving up big gains along the ground, took away the deep ball.

Calgary opened the fourth quarter with a 23-yard field goal by Paredes to regain the lead 12-9 before they finally took their biggest lead of the contest. A 39-yard pass interference call on Hamilton?s DB Don Unamba allowed Mitchell to find Kemar Jorden for a 15-yard touchdown with 9:58 remaining. The five-play, 65-yard touchdown drive was capped off by a Terry Williams run on a two-point conversion to give Calgary a 19-11 lead.

The Tiger-Cats looked to answer and did so with a 43-yard field goal after a pair of completions from Masoli to Jalen Saunders cut the lead to 19-14 with 4:25 on the clock. Saunders finished with over 100 yards receiving on the day.

The Ticats had an opportunity to make a comeback, taking the ball with 2:33 left and scrimmaging from their 34 yard line. A pair of Saunders completions put them in Calgary territory Masoli was flished out of the pocket, forced a throw and was picked off by veteran Brandon Smith.

Jackson put the game away shortly thereafter when he took a handoff 44 yards for the touchdown and iced the 28-14 victory.

Hamilton will double dip in Alberta visiting the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 2. As for the Stampeders, they will get another shot at an Eastern opponent when they visit Toronto for a Grey Cup rematch with the Argonauts.

GAME RECAP

JENNINGS LEADS LIONS OVER ALS IN WEEK 1 FINALE

VANCOUVER ? Jonathon Jennings and the BC Lions clawed their way to a 22-10 home victory over the Montreal Alouettes in the Week 1 finale on Saturday night. The Lions? versatile quarterback got his 2018 season off to a hot start, completing 20 of 24 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a career-high 57 yards on the ground. BC?s defence did its part as well, adding an interception and five sacks to help hand Montreal their 12th-straight loss.

The Alouettes came out strong on their opening possession, with running back Tyrell Sutton carrying the ball five-straight times to put the Lions? defence on their heels. Receiver B.J. Cunningham appeared to give Montreal the early lead with a long 52-yard touchdown catch, but the play was called back on a holding penalty.

Drew Willy and the Als? offence made up for it just two plays later after the veteran quarterback found receiver Chris Williams deep down the field for a 56-yard connection. The ball was knocked loose before Williams could cross the goal line, but receiver Eugene Lewis was there to recover it in the end zone for his first career CFL touchdown. Kicker Boris Bede added the extra point to give Montreal the early 7-0 lead.

Jennings looked sharp on the Lions? second offensive drive, zipping a slant pass to receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux to get things rolling. The athletic quarterback used both his arm and legs to push the Lions down the field, and BC?s passing attack found a steady rhythm that would continue throughout the game.

Receiver Bryan Burnham made an acrobatic 12-yard catch on the drive, and Jennings hit receiver Shaq Johnson on the very next play for a 35-yard touchdown. Johnson used his speed to gain separation and get open on the right side of the field, and kicker Ty Long knocked through the extra point to tie the game at seven apiece. Jennings completed his first ten passes of the game.

The Montreal offence looked strong again on their second drive, with Willy hooking up with receiver Ernest Jackson for a 54-yard strike. Odell Willis? first sack as a Lion stifled the Als? drive, but Bede made the most of the field position by making the 30-yard field goal to give Montreal the 10-7 lead. Willy was 10 of 12 for 183 yards and a touchdown after the opening half.

Jennings continued to make plays in multiple ways after the Lions got the ball back, and the athletic quarterback found space in the Als? defensive front for a 21-yard run to bring the Lions into Montreal territory. The Als? defence bounced back on the drive to hold strong, and Long punted the ball for a single to bring BC within two points.

Running back Jeremiah Johnson began to get the Lions? running game going in the second quarter, and Long would boot another punt for a single to bring the score to 10-9 in the second quarter.

Both defences stole the show in the third quarter, with both defensive lines clogging up running lanes and applying pressure to keep the big plays to a minimum. The lone score of the quarter would be a 27-yard BC field goal from Long, giving the Lions a narrow 11-10 lead.

BC continued to build momentum near the end of the quarter with Jennings completing seven-straight passes, and Long would knock through a 30-yard field to extend the Lions? lead to 15-10 early in the fourth quarter.

The first turnover of the game came when Willy was picked off by Lions defensive back Garry Peters while trying to complete a short pass over the middle to Eugene Lewis. Jennings continued his big performance immediately after getting the ball back, calling his own number for a 16-yard scamper. The Lions? offence capitalized on the Peters interception when Jennings connected with receiver Cory Watson for an 11-yard touchdown strike, giving BC a 22-10 lead that would hold to seal the Week 1 victory.

The Alouettes will look to bounce back when they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers next Friday in Week 2, while the Lions will be off until travel to face the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 3.

League Betting Notes

-- Favorites went 3-1 SU in Week 1
-- Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 ATS in Week 1
-- Home teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 1
-- Home teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 1
-- The 'Under' went 3-1 in Week 1

Analysis

The opening weekend was a disaster forthe East Division, as all three teams lost their initial game of the season. It was a great weekend for Ottawa (0-0), as they will head into Week 2 in first place as a result of everyone else's misfortune.

Toronto (0-1) lost a rematch of last season's East Final, as Saskatchewan (1-0) exacted a little revenge, 27-19. The Argonauts seemed to have a multitude of chances to get on top and bail out the betting public, but a pick-six late in the game sealed the win for the Roughriders. There were also just 22 total points heading into the fourth quarter, but 'under' (50) needed to chew their nails at the end of the 27-19 victory by the Riders.

Hamilton (0-1) took it on the chin in a 28-14 loss at Calgary (1-0), 28-14. QB Jeremiah Masoli rolled up 344 passing yards while also running for a touchdown, but it wasn't nearly enough for the Ti-Cats. QB Bo Levi Mitchell was up to his normal tricks, tossing for 297 yards and a touchdown while running for 12 yards. The Stamps pass defense isn't likely to be a problem this season, it's just that the Ti-Cats turned to the pass game and abandoned the run after being down late.

The most entertaining game of the weekend was the Thursday night opener in Winnipeg (0-1), as Edmonton (1-0) outlasted the Bombers 33-30. The Blue Bombers were able to hang on for the cover (+7.5), and that was never really in doubt. However, the Esks picked up a touchdown with 1:36 remaining, tying it up with a two-point conversion at 1:22 and then they posted the game-winning field foal from Sean Whyte with just :13 left in regulation. It was a punch in the gut for Winnipeg, and it will be interesting to see how they bounce back in Montreal this weekend.

Team Betting Notes

-- The Alouettes and Blue Bombers were battle in Montreal in a battle between 0-1 teams. The Bombers are 4-1 ATS in their past five following a straight-up loss, and they're 21-8 ATS in their past 29 on the road. In addition, they're 6-2 ATS in their past eight against teams with a losing record.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 2
David Schwab

Thursday, June 21

Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) at Ottawa RedBlacks (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS)
Point-spread: Ottawa -3
Total: 51

Game Overview

Saskatchewan will be looking to take down its second-straight opponent from the East coming off last week?s win. Zach Collaros made a successful debut as the Roughriders? new starting quarterback with 203 yards passing and one touchdown throw, while completing 72 percent of his 25 passing attempts. Jerome Messam was another big offseason addition at running back and he added 72 yards rushing on 21 carries in Friday?s victory.

Credit Saskatchewan?s defense for holding Ricky Ray to just 232 yards through the air and Toronto?s ground game to 54 total yards.

The RedBlacks come off that Week 1 bye fresh and ready to go. They lost to Saskatchewan 31-20 as 2 ?-point home favorites in the opening round of last season?s CFL playoffs with the Roughriders coming over from the West as a crossover team.

Heading into this season, Ottawa has Trevor Harris back as its starting quarterback after missing time in 2017 due to injury. Its offensive line was also banged up heading down the stretch last year. Harris proved he could move the ball down the field through the air with 4,679 yards passing in 15 games.

Betting Trends

-- The road team has won the last four meetings both SU and ATS with the total going OVER in four of the last six matchups in this inter-division clash.

Friday, June 22

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS) at Montreal Alouettes (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Winnipeg -2
Total: 46 ?

Game Overview

The Blue Bombers turned to Chris Streveler as their starting quarterback for the injured Matt Nichols and he ended the game against Edmonton with three scoring strikes to keep things interesting for all four quarters.

He ended the game with 178 yards passing on 15 completions. Weston Dressler was his top target with four catches for 74 yards and a score and Andrew Harris racked-up 77 yards on 14 rushing attempts.

Montreal had the fewest straight-up victories of any CFL team last season (three) and its opening-day effort against BC could point towards another long campaign in 2018.

The Alouettes scored all 10 of their points in the opening quarter before their offense ground to a halt. Drew Willy got the start at quarterback and he ended the night with 281 yards passing, but just one touchdown pass against one interception.

Betting Trends

-- Winnipeg has covered in six of its last seven road games against the Alouettes with the total going OVER in the last five meetings in Montreal.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -6 ?
Total: 55

Game Overview

CFL fans waiting for the debut of Johnny Manziel as the Tiger-Cats newest quarterback will have to wait a bit longer after starter Jeremiah Masoli put on an aerial show that included 200 yards passing in the first two quarters of last week?s opener. He ended the game with 344 total yards passing, while completing 25 of his 36 attempts, but he did not find the end zone through the air. The Tiger-Cats only gained 56 yards on the ground on 12 rushing attempts.

Edmonton had its hands full with Winnipeg in Week 1 with the only difference in the final score being a field goal as time expired. Mike Reilly led the CFL in both passing yards and touchdown throws last season and he started the 2018 season with 408 yards and one score through the air. He was also the team?s leading rusher last Thursday night with 43 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Derel Walker hauled in eight receptions for 176 yards as one of eight different players to catch a ball from Reilly in that game.

Betting Trends

-- Hamilton is a perfect 5-0 ATS in its last five road games against the Eskimos and the total has gone OVER in five of the last six games of this inter-division tilt played in Edmonton.

Saturday, June 23

Calgary Stampeders (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) at Toronto Argonauts (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -3 ?
Total: 52 ?

Game Overview

Calgary needed all four quarters to get past Hamilton last Saturday in a game that was closer than the final score might indicate. Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 297 total yards with 200 coming in the first half. It was the Stampeders? ground game that helped generate 19 points in the fourth quarter. Don Jackson and Terry Williams rushed for a combined 117 yards and a score on 18 rushing attempts overall. Calgary did get a solid effort from its defense when it needed it the most.

The Argonauts scored a grand total of five points in the first three quarters of last week?s loss before posting 14 points in the fourth quarter to keep things interesting. Ricky Ray did not have his best night throwing the ball against Saskatchewan, especially in the first half when Toronto was held to 71 yards through the air. He ended the game with 232 yards passing with no touchdown throws against one interception.

Betting Trends

-- Calgary has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall and it is also 5-1 ATS in its last six road games against Toronto. The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last seven meetings.

PREVIEW

REDBLACKS HOST RIDERS ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

OTTAWA ? It has been 221 days since the Ottawa REDBLACKS? 2017 season came to an end at the hands of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on a crisp November afternoon.

Since then, much has changed for both #RNation and Riderville ahead of their Week 2 meeting on Thursday Night Football.

CFL.ca has unprecedented coverage Thursday Night Football presented by the Brick, including a 30-minute live show CFL Game Time at 6:30 p.m. ET on-site.

None of the five Roughriders who scored against Ottawa in last year?s Eastern Semi-Final will suit up for the Green and White on Thursday; quarterbacks Kevin Glenn and Vernon Adams along with receiver Bakari Grant are all gone, kicker Tyler Crapigna is out for the year with an injury and running back Marcus Thigpen has one game left on his suspension.

But, with a plethora of new faces which have gelled well early in 2018, the Riders dispatched the Toronto Argonauts last week and now have their attention turned firmly to the task at hand in Ottawa.

?You look, all they do is win football games,? Saskatchewan head coach Chris Jones told Riderville.com of his team?s Thursday opponent. ?They?re very good in all three phases and we have to do a good job defending them (and) protecting our quarterback?we?ve got our hands full.?

Last year?s Eastern Semi-Final was decided by a handful of key plays ? Marcus Thigpen?s big run, Christion Jones?s return, etc. ? and both the Riders and REDBLACKS definitely have the playmakers to dazzle again this season.

The biggest news of the week in Riderville was the announcement Duron Carter will be starting at cornerback. The enigmatic two-time all-star will replace Nick Marshall ? injured last week against Toronto ? at boundary corner.

?He?s a better DB now than he was last year against Calgary,? said Jones of the 6-foot-5 Carter, who got a defensive start against the Stampeders late last season. ?Getting his eyes in the right spot, being a disciplined DB, that?s the main thing he?s got to work on.?

As if Thursday?s rematch needed any fuel to the fire, Carter may have stoked the flames when he told CKRM?s Rod Pedersen that it?ll be no challenge at all to face the REDBLACKS? receiving trio of Greg Ellingson, Brad Sinopoli and Diontae Spencer.

?I don?t think they bring any challenges to tell you the truth,? said Carter. ?They?re not better than the receivers we go up against in practice. So ya. There you go.?

The flamboyant CFL star was further asked what?s difficult about switching from his regular receiver spot to the corner.

?Nothing at all,? Carter offered. ?If it was a challenge I don?t think Coach Jones would put me there. He has the confidence to put me there just like any other player.?

There will be some familiar faces lining up opposite the Saskatchewan offensive line on Thursday, as former Riders A.C. Leonard and Jonathan Newsome will both feature in the REDBLACKS rotation up front.

?They?ve got their game plan, we?ve got ours,? downplayed Jones of the familiarity factor. ?They?ve been over there with them all camp, and I haven?t seen Newsome in over a year.?

It was the Rider defence which stole the show in a 27-19 win over the Argos last week, with winter acquisition Charleston Hughes recording three sacks and second-year pro Derrick Moncrief recording eight tackles.

For Willie Jefferson, who played opposite Hughes at D-end against Toronto, the veteran presence of Hughes makes his job easier.

?It?s what they said, man: The hype is real,? said Jefferson of Hughes. ?I came out and I did what I do (with two pressures and a pass knockdown) and he played off me and did what he does.

?He?s a three-time sack leader for a reason. I just wanted to help him and have him help me.?

Moncrief, meanwhile, has taken a winding path to Rider green, and is now excelling at the same linebacker position which sparked his transfer from Auburn to Oklahoma St. in college.

?This is my living,? he told Riderville.com?s Ian Hamilton. ?I?m a versatile player, so I feel like I can mix it up all over the field. As long as I?m making plays and making the defence better and communicating with guys, I feel good about everything.?

Saskatchewan?s roster will see two changes from Week 1; in addition to Nick Marshall, fellow defensive back Denzel Radford hits the injured list this week.

Fullback Albert Awachie and defensive tackle Curt Maggitt draw in; Awachie played multiple positions while at the University of Toronto, while Maggitt played in nine games with the NFL?s Indianapolis Colts in 2016.

The Riders took their walk-through to Parliament Hill on Wednesday, which has seemingly become an annual tradition since Jones? arrival.

In Ottawa, many of the ?marquee? changes have come on the defensive side of the ball, where new defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe has quickly gone about putting his stamp on the REDBLACKS defence.

?Camp was great, we came together as a team especially on D,? defensive end A.C. Leonard told OttawaREDBLACKS.com. ?I love this system, it fits me (and) who I am ? get to the quarterback, just do my job and that?s all I can ask for.?

Leonard, who recorded five sacks in both 2016 and 2017 as a member of the Riders, admits he has Thursday?s game circled for a while.

?I played in Sask the last two years, so I?m ready,? he grinned following practice Monday. ?I?ve been ready since the end of last year, when I found out I was coming here. I?m ready to get it going.?

Another of Ottawa?s premium defensive pickups, defensive back Rico Murray, understands what Riders quarterback Zach Collaros can do: The pair were teammates for three seasons (2014-16) in Hamilton.

?We know they?re versatile, they?ve got a lot of weapons (and) a new addition with Zach Collaros, who?s pretty much revamping his career out there,? said Murray, who has tallied 247 tackles and 10 interceptions since entering the CFL in 2013. ?They?ve got a lot of weapons they can use, (so) we?re trying to stay fast, physical, fly around and have fun.?

While the defence definitely has a new look, Jaime Elizondo?s REDBLACKS offence returns many of the same key pieces which led it last year.

Trevor Harris is once again looking to solidify himself as an elite quarterback, dynamic running back William Powell will aim to stay healthy and the ?buds? receiving duo of Brad Sinopoli and Greg Ellingson is back.

The only new face at skill positions on offence for the REDBLACKS in Week 1 is Noel Thomas Jr.; the 23-year-old receiver out of UConn spent last season on the Detroit Lions? practice roster and is set to make his first professional start at the field wideout position. Also keep an eye on Dominique Rhymes, who?s getting an opportunity at boundary slotback.

Cruchin? Numbers:

3 ? Sacks for Charleston Hughes in his Riders debut last week. Did we mention they were all in the first half? His career total: 102.

13.3 ? Yards per punt return in 2017 for Ottawa?s Diontae Spencer, who ranked third in the category (min. 30+ returns).

110 ? Tackles for REDBLACKS linebacker Kyries Hebert ? then of the Montreal Alouettes ? in 2017, the third-most in the league only to Solomon Elimimian (BC, 144) and Alex Singleton (CGY, 123).

221 ? Days since Saskatchewan?s 31-20 win in last year?s East Semi-Final.

This game is impossible to predict in any way, shape or form.

Many of the Riders? key playmakers from the Eastern Semi are long gone. The REDBLACKS defence has undergone a complete makeover, too.

Regardless, there?s likely to be a fair amount of bad blood for a Week 2 contest; Jonathan Newsome was cut by the Riders last summer; Zack Evans and A.C. Leonard have swapped colours on their respective D-lines; this is the same Saskatchewan team that ended Ottawa?s season on its own turf last November.

To top it off, Riders radio man Rod Pedersen claimed to have been ?kicked out? of REDBLACKS walkthrough on Wednesday, prompting a Twitter war.

Gas up and get going, because the 2018 CFL season is finally about to fire up in the nation?s capital.

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on TSN, RDS and ESPN+.

GAME RECAP

REDBLACKS DOWN RIDERS, 40-17, ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

OTTAWA ? The Ottawa REDBLACKS shone on both sides of the football en route to a 40-17 win over the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday Night Football at TD Place.

Trevor Harris threw for 345 yards and a pair of touchdowns, William Powell found the end zone twice and Diontae Spencer showcased his dynamic ability in the win for Rick Campbell?s team, which was bolstered by a monstrous performance by its defence at-large.

On the flip side, the Riders lost starting quarterback Zach Collaros in the second quarter and managed just 345 yards of offence ? 41 of which came in garbage time ? on the night. Four turnovers proved costly for Saskatchewan, which never seemed to find its groove on either side of the football.

The REDBLACKS opened the scoring on the first drive of the night, when a handful of pretty Trevor Harris completions and an offside penalty set up a 26-yard field goal for Ottawa kicker Lewis Ward.

Zach Collaros and the Riders offence struggled on their first two possessions, with a pair of two-and-outs highlighted by a monster sack by Ottawa?s Michael Wakefield.

A second field goal from Ward ? another chip shot from 23 yards out ? then doubled the REDBLACKS lead.

The visitors woke up offensively late in the first quarter, as Collaros capped a five-play, 62-yard drive with a pinpoint 32-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Williams-Lambert ? the latter?s first in the CFL. Saskatchewan kicker Brett Lauther drilled the convert, and the Riders led 7-6 after the opening 15 minutes.

The lead was short-lived, as Collaros?s first pass of the second quarter was picked off and returned for a touchdown by Ottawa?s Jonathan Rose; the pass was intended for Shaq Evans, but Rose jumped the route and returned it 55 yards to the house. Harris then found Greg Ellingson in the corner of the end zone for the two-point convert, giving the REDBLACKS a 14-7 lead.

Collaros responded with a 46-yard bomb to Caleb Holley, taking the Riders into the red zone. Two plays later, however, Ottawa forced an end zone interception as Corey Tindal deflected an end zone pass into the hands of teammate Loucheiz Purifoy.

Two plays later, however, Harris threw a pick-six of his own; enigmatic two-way Rider Duron Carter ? exclusively playing defensive back on Thursday night ? stepped up, snatched Harris?s pass and returned it 28 yards for a major before his trademark celebration in the end zone. Lauther hit the extra point to tie the game at 14.

The ridiculous back-and-forth play continued on the next drive, as the REDBLACKS marched down the field to set up a dashing 15-yard touchdown run by William Powell. Harris then found Ellingson for yet another two-point convert, and the hosts took a 22-14 lead.

Ward?s third field goal of the evening with 1:28 remaining in the first half sent Ottawa to the locker room with an 11-point lead, and it could have been more as the University of Ottawa product sent a 48-yard effort wide right as the clock expired.

After a two and a half quarters? worth of chirping, REDBLACKS receiver Diontae Spencer got the best of Carter in their one-on-one matchup midway through the third quarter; Harris chucked up a bomb and Spencer sprinted past Carter on his way to a 56-yard touchdown. The Ottawa quarterback then sprinted the two-point convert in himself to extend the lead to 33-14.

The host defence continued to impress late in the third quarter, as Rico Murray hauled in his first interception as a REDBLACK with an athletic pick of Bridge in the Ottawa end zone.

A 35-yard field goal from Lauther cut the lead to 33-17, but it was as close as the Riders would come.

A handful of Duron Carter pass-interference penalties then gave the REDBLACKS a chance from short range, and Harris and co. did not miss; Powell proved the benefactor as he hauled in a four-yard touchdown reception. Ward?s convert then rounded out the scoring on the night, bringing the lead to 40-17.

The story of the night proved to be Ottawa?s defence, which limited Saskatchewan on offence and came up with four key turnovers ? including two interceptions in their own end zone.

REDBLACKS receiver Greg Ellingson hauled in a game-high 104 yards, while Riders linebacker Samuel Eguavoen registered a game-high seven tackles in the losing effort.

With the win, the REDBLACKS moved to 1-0 and will now face the daunting task of travelling across the country for a date with the Calgary Stampeders (1-0) on the Week 3 edition of Thursday Night Football (9 p.m. ET).

The loss dropped the Roughriders to 1-1 on the young season; Chris Jones?s team will now have eight days off to prepare for a home date with the Montreal Alouettes (0-1) next Saturday (9 p.m. ET).

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS) at Montreal Alouettes (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Winnipeg -2
Total: 46 ?

Game Overview

The Blue Bombers turned to Chris Streveler as their starting quarterback for the injured Matt Nichols and he ended the game against Edmonton with three scoring strikes to keep things interesting for all four quarters.

He ended the game with 178 yards passing on 15 completions. Weston Dressler was his top target with four catches for 74 yards and a score and Andrew Harris racked-up 77 yards on 14 rushing attempts.

Montreal had the fewest straight-up victories of any CFL team last season (three) and its opening-day effort against BC could point towards another long campaign in 2018.

The Alouettes scored all 10 of their points in the opening quarter before their offense ground to a halt. Drew Willy got the start at quarterback and he ended the night with 281 yards passing, but just one touchdown pass against one interception.

Betting Trends

-- Winnipeg has covered in six of its last seven road games against the Alouettes with the total going OVER in the last five meetings in Montreal.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -6 ?
Total: 55

Game Overview

CFL fans waiting for the debut of Johnny Manziel as the Tiger-Cats newest quarterback will have to wait a bit longer after starter Jeremiah Masoli put on an aerial show that included 200 yards passing in the first two quarters of last week?s opener. He ended the game with 344 total yards passing, while completing 25 of his 36 attempts, but he did not find the end zone through the air. The Tiger-Cats only gained 56 yards on the ground on 12 rushing attempts.

Edmonton had its hands full with Winnipeg in Week 1 with the only difference in the final score being a field goal as time expired. Mike Reilly led the CFL in both passing yards and touchdown throws last season and he started the 2018 season with 408 yards and one score through the air. He was also the team?s leading rusher last Thursday night with 43 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Derel Walker hauled in eight receptions for 176 yards as one of eight different players to catch a ball from Reilly in that game.

Betting Trends

-- Hamilton is a perfect 5-0 ATS in its last five road games against the Eskimos and the total has gone OVER in five of the last six games of this inter-division tilt played in Edmonton.
