1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,559 Speaker 1: CFL Betting Blueprint Week six Live on X and posted 2 00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:09,720 of course as always to the wager Talk YouTube channel. 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,480 Thank you for all of you guys watching throughout the 4 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:14,400 season so far. For all of you guys that are 5 00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:17,600 new to us, we hop on every single Tuesday live 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,480 on X usually posted Tuesday night to Wednesday morning on 7 00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:25,399 the wager Talk YouTube channel. Myself, Andrew and Bobby and 8 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:28,760 we look at the CFL opening lines, give you guys 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,519 some tips on where we think these numbers are going 10 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,399 to go. I had kind of a rough back to 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,119 back weeks and having much needed five and one bounce back. 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,719 And it always sounds funny to say there's four games 13 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:43,320 and I had a five and fun a week in 14 00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,560 the CFL. But I told myself this year, Bobby, I 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,880 wasn't gonna hesitate. I was gonna fire. And well, for 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,719 two weeks didn't look great, but I finally had that 17 00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:53,799 big weekend I needed. 18 00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I find in we're doing. There's a lot 19 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,399 more action, at least this year in the CFL. I 20 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,879 think after years of realizing how easy it is to 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,200 beat you, kind of we've kind of let down our 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,519 guard a bit and fired on a bit more so 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,159 like I'm eleven and nine to start the year here, 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,560 but almost tu and off units mainly for well, if 25 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:20,560 you're betting on the Red Blacks, limit your bets and 26 00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,519 sprinkle on those dogs because two more came in this weekend, 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,079 and a big one in Calgary. So I've taken some 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,680 risks as well, three attempts to middle games that hasn't 29 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,480 hit yet, but overall, I'm pretty happy with where I'm 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,200 att won't see as many middle opportunities with fewer questions 31 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,159 at quarterback. But when news breaks, you got you got 32 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:44,599 an hour to attack, and I've got a printer going here. 33 00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:47,159 I don't know if you can hear that perfect timing 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,400 to start printing stuff and the. 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,519 Speaker 1: Bad timings for me to have my mic mess up 36 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:56,159 on the first intro there? Does this sound much better Bobby? 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,519 Speaker 3: To you? 38 00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,159 Speaker 2: It sounds the same to me. So we'll find out 39 00:01:59,159 --> 00:01:59,640 the hard way. 40 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:01,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it should sound a bit better. I was 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,560 using my webcam mic. But regardless, guys, usually it's a 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,879 three it's a four game slate in the CFL, but no, 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,039 this week we've got a three game slate to look 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,199 at here. So this is not an error. This is 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,520 not the sportsbooks being late to post. Here, guys, three 46 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,840 games Stampeders, Rough Riders, Red Blacks, Tie Cats, b C 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,080 Lions and the Edmonton Elks will go head to head here. 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,319 Highest total on the board fifty three and a half. 49 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:33,639 Lowest total on the board fifty and a half. As 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,960 we saw some high scoring games and as Ian Cameron 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,680 was telling us in our group chat, we have the 52 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,240 three of us. The overs are dominating so far. You're 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,240 making money if you've bet the over in every game 54 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,360 so far. We'll see if the law of averages kind 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,199 of settled down a little bit. Bobby I was going 56 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,599 to do some updating based on what we talked about 57 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,520 last Tuesday, but there's no need to because well it 58 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,719 remains the same. Every single team that has won a 59 00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,599 game has covered the points. Very interesting to see when 60 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,560 that will start to break, and then once it does, 61 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:06,840 you know it'll break for good and we can start 62 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840 making some money on it. But some of these games, 63 00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:13,039 including the first one that we have here to to 64 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,120 waste very little time. There will have to be a 65 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,599 trend broken because sketchwan four and oh ats four, oh 66 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,159 straight up four and oh or two and oh ahts 67 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:28,840 at home and looking at this Calgary team, well they 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,439 are a perfect three and oh ats as an underdog. 69 00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: So uh, I. 70 00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:36,199 Speaker 1: Will admit when I'm right, admit when I'm wrong, And 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360 I was wrong about this Calgary team. I was happy 72 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:40,639 to have a two and o performance with them in 73 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,000 Week five. But Calgary has been better than we we thought. 74 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: They might have been. 75 00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,479 Speaker 1: And I'll speak for myself, but I was kind of 76 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,599 down on Calgary. So when you look at this game 77 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,400 here and you see Calgary off that win that they 78 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:57,039 had against Winnipeg, not only do they win like they 79 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,280 won in strong fashion, how do you feel about this 80 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080 one's a sketch one coming off their buy? 81 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think these writers got this by just in time. 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,000 And like, looking at this practice report, like it still 83 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,000 doesn't look like they're getting there. Any receivers back, the 84 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:17,040 old line's still concerned. There's a few other injuries kind 85 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,560 of scattered throughout that shouldn't hinder them too much, but 86 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:23,120 it's always something like they're one injury away from having 87 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,240 more clusters. But it's yeah, it's a good time for 88 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,920 them to have that buy. And I don't want to 89 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,600 call you out as being a liar this early in 90 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,439 the show, but I would argue that nobody's been higher 91 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:37,120 on the Stamps than us. I was driving home from 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Vancouver Curling Club on a Tuesday night in November and 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,639 I hear you talking with Gabe thirty to one on 94 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,240 the Stamps, and we both had that in our pocket 95 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,079 for about nine months. Now. I think it's should be 96 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,199 past its due date, but we still got four more 97 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,439 to go. Now they're down to eight to one. There's 98 00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:59,279 no real value there. But I've been happy with the 99 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,560 Stamps so far. Are back them every game. Like you said, uh, 100 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,120 they were three three and one against the spread, they 101 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,519 were underdogs. At least they opened as an underdog in 102 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,040 that rain game against Ottawa and that was a crazy 103 00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:17,720 game to lose. Anyway, when the passing game is basically eliminated, uh, 104 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,120 the then Ottawa's got a chance to win, I guess right. 105 00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,519 So as high as we've been on these Stamps, I 106 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:25,519 think this might be the time to pump the brakes. 107 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:27,040 And I don't want to go against them, Like I 108 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,279 think this line is kind of right where it should be. 109 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,199 Saskatchewan off of bye bye weeks do mean something in 110 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,439 the CFL, and and it's like this home field is 111 00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,879 only going to get better as the as the summer 112 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,759 rolls on and Saskatchewan has their traditional hot start and 113 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,680 then lose every game after Labor Day. 114 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: Well, Bobby, you want to talk about, you know, scheduling spots, 115 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360 because the thing is about a small league like the CFL. 116 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:59,399 You know, I always hear people analyzing the NFL schedule 117 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:01,879 when it gets like people are already like setting up 118 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,079 sandwich spots and situational betting spots. But in the CFL, 119 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,040 with just nine teams, you can look at it as 120 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,279 well of certain spots, whether it be let down or 121 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:12,120 travel or what have you. Now we're getting to that 122 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,720 spot here week six. Calgary had Winnipeg last week outright, 123 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:20,839 wins Saskatchewan now off a bye, they play them on 124 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,920 the road, and then next week they're playing Winnipeg again 125 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,120 and Winnipeg will be off a bye. 126 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a bad stretch here. I think they're 127 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,040 playing Winnipeg three out of four weeks or something. And 128 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,319 Winnipeg's got this like back to back teams happening a 129 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,920 few times this year, and I think both of the 130 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,160 times they at least BC in Calgary's case, they get 131 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,240 a buy before these back to backs, so it's a 132 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,160 super weird schedule. I'm the last guy in the world 133 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,079 who's going to criticize a schedule maker in the CFL, 134 00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:57,199 just because I was able to take advantage of it 135 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,439 and show vote for one summer. But yeah, I don't 136 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,040 know if there's that many spots, Like the short week 137 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,920 kind of doesn't exist this week, and like as long 138 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160 as you're accounting for the buye, which usually like next 139 00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:13,879 week we're going to be looking at two teams off 140 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 of by playing each other, it's kind of eliminated too. 141 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,439 So I don't know if the situational spots are as 142 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,959 severe as as they are in the NFL. 143 00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that. 144 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: Again, it's an example of two streaks going head to head, 145 00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,319 Like you know, a great ats underdog team versus just 146 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,079 a team that's been a covering machine. 147 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:35,879 Speaker 3: You know. 148 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,639 Speaker 1: Aj Lett's been a guy that I've talked up quite 149 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:42,120 a bit over the years, and Saskatchewan with having them 150 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,360 seven to seven to one in my pocket, I feel 151 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,959 like I haven't been on them enough this season. That's 152 00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,360 always the worst feeling. But you know, there's times where 153 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,279 you want to be a contrarian. There's times where you 154 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,639 kind of want to just go with the hot team. 155 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,800 And you know, I do think that the bye week 156 00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:02,279 in the CFL matters because with how many injuries take 157 00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:04,240 place in this league overall. I know you were talking 158 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:07,079 about an update on the injury report and stuff, but 159 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,079 how many injuries go on in this league with I 160 00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:13,120 would argue on the top of my head, Saskatchewan's got 161 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,240 to be one of the more veteran built teams. So 162 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:19,079 just looking at that bye week, how that can help them, 163 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,000 you know? And I think back to a couple of 164 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,399 years ago the Boston Bruins in the NHL. 165 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:27,199 Speaker 3: They had like they broke the record for. 166 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: Like regular season points, and Bobby I barely was on them, 167 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,759 you know, because I kept on thinking I missed the train, right. 168 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,919 Speaker 3: I kept on thinking that. I was like, oh, it's 169 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:38,600 too late now. 170 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: Like you know, the Bruins were laying like a buck 171 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,519 eighty five every single game, no matter who they were playing. 172 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: They were so pricey. 173 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: And when I look at this big win the Stamps 174 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,440 are off against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the fact that 175 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,679 I was able to cash not one but two tickets 176 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,000 on them, Saskatchewan at home off the by the four 177 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,879 and a half number. They've scored thirty one on twenty eight, 178 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,960 thirty nine and thirty seven in their four games so far. 179 00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,000 The team totals have treated me well so far. Hell, 180 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360 I got lucky with a late game drive. I was 181 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,519 actually working on editing a video before we came on 182 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,440 live today talking about that last minute drive the Red 183 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,000 Blacks put together for me to hit that team total. 184 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,039 I feel like Saskatchewan's team total might be in play here. 185 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,000 You know, if we're asking them to get to twenty six, 186 00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:30,360 twenty seven to twenty eight, that twenty seven numbers seem 187 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,279 to be a key number for these team totals. With 188 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,159 the minus four and a half, with the fifty one 189 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:36,559 and a half is the total, That's probably what I'll 190 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,519 be looking at here. Calgary's been a great ats underdog team. 191 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,759 We can't talk about it enough, but I don't see 192 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,200 why Saskatchewan can't roll on. I was saying to Ian Cameron, like, hey, 193 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,000 you know, it kind of sketches me out a bit, 194 00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,840 because obviously this team's not gonna stay undefeated forever. But 195 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,639 at the very same time, if I don't play them here, 196 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080 I'm gonna be thinking again, Wow, this team is now 197 00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:00,679 five and oh five and oh ats and I've barely 198 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,480 been on them, and that's a tough feeling, right. 199 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're definitely, I don't know, if you talk to 200 00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:09,440 the media, they're the best team in the league. Like, 201 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,840 they're definitely a top three team. They're good to tail. 202 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,080 It's a great situation for them. I just think that 203 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,799 Calgary isn't as bad as people have thought. And I've 204 00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:22,320 got to be off this. I think that Calgary defense 205 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,039 is still Maybe it's just because they were so bad 206 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,240 last year that it seems like night and day with 207 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:31,759 them right now. But I think there was some stat 208 00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,799 flown around that they hadn't give up a touchdown in 209 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,360 the first three quarters or something like that. Helps when 210 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,279 you play Ottawa, helps when you play in the in 211 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,200 the sideways ragin. But defense is still a lot better 212 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,399 for the Stamps this year. And I don't know, I'm 213 00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,039 not the total guy, but even there's some other games 214 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:53,360 on this card that I think even I probably would 215 00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:55,759 bite on the total no matter how high it shoots up. 216 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's interesting. Look call me a but 217 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,120 you know I made money on them last week. But 218 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,720 one thing we can also argue and I guess maybe 219 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,879 the same thing could be said for Suskatchewan this week. 220 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:12,080 But didn't winn a peg look pretty perfect to start 221 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,039 the season off. 222 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: And yeah, they had plenty of rests, like they've got 223 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,159 to play BC allions back to back, but like even 224 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,720 Chris Traveler look good, and that's that's something you don't see. 225 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:26,960 So yeah, I think this was just a letdown game 226 00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:31,480 for for the Bombers and they get another buye already 227 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:34,399 to kind of regroup. So I'm not too worried about them, 228 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,559 considering like the slump they were in at the beginning 229 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,080 of last year. But yeah, it was a very impressive 230 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,639 win if you like I was, we were both on 231 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,159 the stamps and even like I was surprised how well 232 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,679 they played last weekend. 233 00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Well, you know, a bye week can either motivate a 234 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,919 team or disrupt the momentum, and I don't think there's 235 00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:57,679 gonna be any disruption of momentum with the. 236 00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 3: With the Riders. 237 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,519 Speaker 1: But I said last week on the show that because 238 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,799 I was in a small slump, that I was going 239 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840 to play it kind of game the game and day 240 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,240 to day, and what I was able to do. The 241 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:11,360 only thing that ended up backfiring for me, out of 242 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:14,039 the strategy was not jumping in on plus one and 243 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,159 a half Hamilton and I took plus four and a 244 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,320 half Toronto, And that might be the most CFL betting 245 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,559 sentence you could ever say, because you won't see that 246 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:24,799 in any other pro football league. Right, That's why we 247 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,799 love betting the CFL. But obviously the initial gut lean 248 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,639 was right. But sometimes, and you've talked about it, with 249 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720 the money coming in on game day or overnight, whether 250 00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:37,480 it's limits or whether it's people just wait until game day. Look, 251 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,480 you know, not a lot of people, let's be real 252 00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:43,360 here are betting CFL games five days out. It's just 253 00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,200 not happening, right. They care about it not as much 254 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,240 as us, So they're waiting till the game day. So 255 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:51,440 we can kind of react because we have two four 256 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:57,120 and a halfs right this week, you know two was 257 00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:58,720 it two to four and a halfs and a three 258 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:00,919 and a half, So we're going to see some movement. 259 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,440 Our job is just to figure out a way to 260 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,320 find out how we want to react to it. Red 261 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,840 Blacks at ty cats, I mean, this is giving flashbacks 262 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,000 to red blacks at Elks, where like you know, give 263 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,840 us a sixteen and a half as the total, and 264 00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:17,879 we're still pretty tempted to do so. If any books 265 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,039 let you bet props, you probably want to get involved 266 00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:23,559 in props in this game. But bo Levi three hundred 267 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,039 and thirty two yards, five passing, touchdowns, no interceptions, average 268 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,279 length of a pass thirteen point eight yards, longest seventy 269 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,039 nine yards against the tie Cats. Kenny Lawler three touchdowns, 270 00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:39,399 seven targets, six receptions two hundred and seven yards. Didn't 271 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,759 really need anybody else. Tim White thirty yards, DeAndre Smith 272 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,120 twenty eight. Overall, your thoughts on Hamilton, I mean, clearly 273 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,159 they were the right side. 274 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: They played very, very well. 275 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: The only thing I would say when I was watching 276 00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,240 with an Argos ticket in my hand was like, man, 277 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,440 you know, give up. Besides those big plays like if 278 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,759 you look at it, look two oh seven for one 279 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,720 player and then thirty twenty eight, twenty two and nineteen 280 00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:11,600 for the players before the hat. Like, I don't know, 281 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:14,039 but your thoughts here on Hamilton, is this the Hamilton 282 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,559 that they've been waiting to see as far as the 283 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,919 offensive ability or was that just kind of like they 284 00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,240 just you know, just took a beating or they just 285 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:22,200 beat down Toronto. 286 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,519 Speaker 2: I think this is kind of the Hamilton that we've 287 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,639 thought should be there for at least the last year. 288 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:34,000 And like their season was kind of over early last season, 289 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,759 so we didn't really pay too much attention to their 290 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,639 run at the end of the year. But like it's 291 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,480 like they even got better at in Kenny Lawler, Like 292 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:47,440 those are Kenny Lawler plays right, so those are Like 293 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600 this Hamilton team is kind of what we exp what 294 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,559 everybody expected them to be, and they're finally kind of 295 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,600 living up to it. Defense still terrible, but like now 296 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,120 they got the Red Blacks. I think this is this 297 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,600 is another one, Like basically every matchup in the East 298 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,320 is a coaching mismatch for the Red Blacks. Milanovitch isn't 299 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,080 likely to make bad decisions. We've seen a Autowa goes 300 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,320 up against Montreal Toronto, Like it's just not even close. 301 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:19,840 So like you said that that number on Hamilton last 302 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,639 week was just the wrong number, Like they shouldn't have 303 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:24,240 been a slight dog or even a money line against 304 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,200 against a backup Nick Arbuckle. Like I was quick to 305 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,559 jump on Hamilton last week, but I think now we've 306 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:36,120 kind of overreacted a little bit too, So unfortunately for me, 307 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,080 that means like this is likely going to be Ottawa 308 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,039 or nothing, and if it is Autawa, it's going to 309 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,200 be like a half limit. I still have faith in 310 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,519 Drew Brown. I just don't have faith in anybody else, 311 00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:49,960 anybody else around them. We're in red and black on 312 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,240 that field. So I think the more important thing is 313 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,879 what you've touched on already, is is this total? Like 314 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,799 is it fifty fifty three and a half? 315 00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,039 Speaker 3: Like? 316 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:03,399 Speaker 2: Is this the biggest opener we've seen this season? Is this? 317 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,440 Like the total go this hot? Usually you've got like 318 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,879 a tie Cats defense that that is almost as bad 319 00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,200 as their offense is good. And then you've got Attawa 320 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,440 that just goes out and plays, doesn't look at the scoreboard, 321 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200 doesn't look at the clock. They can put up points, 322 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,200 they can give up points. So I think this seems 323 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,440 like I was joking with you and Ian, like does 324 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240 this open at like seventy eight or something like that? 325 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,559 So even though this number is juiced up, but I 326 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,639 don't want to go against it. I'd be happy to 327 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,759 be on a fifty three and a half. So I 328 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:37,360 think that'd be like a little side bet for me. 329 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,000 Nothing too serious. I'll leave that to the pros. But 330 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,080 it's it's hard to ignore when you when you look 331 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,840 at these teams and you see how these totals have 332 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,639 gone over even even Edmonton and Ottawa can put up 333 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,440 put up a ton of points as we just saw. 334 00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: Well, look we're going to talk about them in a second. 335 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:59,320 But whenever we were smack talking our guy trade Ford, 336 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,320 I was always telling and hey, we can't always go 337 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,160 at this guy if the defense is given up thirty plus. 338 00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:04,559 Speaker 3: Points a game. 339 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: And then now they were just able to play a 340 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,920 Red Blacks team that gives up you know, x amount 341 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,279 of points themselves, thirty nine points that it didn't even 342 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,240 matter how many they gave up. You know, I had 343 00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:20,039 that garbage time TD thirty three points for Ottawa wasn't enough. 344 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,759 And in the CFL, I don't care what it is. 345 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,039 If you told me the Red Blacks scored thirty three, 346 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:27,480 you know, I was like, okay, yeah, cool, I'll take 347 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,319 the money line on the Red Blacks. So hats off 348 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,240 to you for hitting the Elks. And then in the 349 00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:33,359 same game, I was able to hit the Red Blacks 350 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,880 team total. 351 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 3: So you gotta love that. 352 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,319 Speaker 1: But you know, looking at just being a scoreboard watcher 353 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,880 here being a box score guy. There were a lot 354 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,079 of guys that caught the ball. And I'm a big 355 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,720 fan of distribution, especially when it comes to the CFL. 356 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:54,680 We got ten targets six, four, four, ten, five and three. 357 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,200 So justin Hardy with ten targets. The fact that he 358 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,240 only came down with five of those little bit concerning. 359 00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:03,759 But I mean a lot of targets, a lot of 360 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:06,960 guys Eugen and Lewis he got utilized. 361 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:07,759 Speaker 3: I would have. 362 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,519 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about the OC, you talk about 363 00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:13,440 Bob Dice going into halftime with a timeout to his 364 00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:15,279 name and just didn't use it. I mean, we can 365 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:17,960 talk about so many different things, but at the end 366 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,319 of the day, Ottawa loses to the worst team in 367 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:27,319 the league. Hamilton beats the shit out of Toronto, puts 368 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,200 up a fifty burger. Now they're back at home laying 369 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240 four and a half. That four and a half number 370 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,680 is kind of a respectful number towards Hamilton. It's like, 371 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,799 because if it was three and a half, then who knows. 372 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,960 But I got to play Red Blacks or pass from 373 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,079 where I'm sitting right now, I you know, from where 374 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,680 I'm sitting. I respect how Hamilton plays at home, and 375 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,200 I get it. And man, their offense look good. Their 376 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,640 their offense looked like nobody could stop them. You know, 377 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,960 Toronto looked frustrated out there. But we're talking about an interception. 378 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,279 We're talking about a huge punt return. We're talking about 379 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,880 two or three, like forty or fifty yard bombs from 380 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,640 bo Levi to Kenny Lawler. I'm not making excuses, but 381 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,200 sure they drove the field without that stuff, But that 382 00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:19,119 fifty spot could easily have been like, you know, thirty 383 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,480 something points if it wasn't just so exaggerated. 384 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,279 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 385 00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:25,559 Speaker 1: Hamilton's a team I like at pick or plus. I 386 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:27,680 don't really like them laying you know what I mean, 387 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,640 They're just not one of those teams I like laying 388 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,599 four and a half. The only thing is, though I 389 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,000 keep on bringing up those numbers about straight up in ats, Bobby, 390 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,039 if we take the plus four and a half based 391 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:40,400 on current events, we're asking Ottawa to win this game. 392 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I still don't think have we had a game 393 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:47,880 where the favorite wins but doesn't cover. 394 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying, That's what I was reading 395 00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:52,839 out it's it's I think every single team so far. 396 00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the only one that would have 397 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,319 been would have been that Saskatchewan Toronto game that they 398 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,200 lost on the on the last play on the kickoff, right, 399 00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:05,039 But like eventually these are going to happen, like statistically 400 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:09,400 they're going to come back. So I don't know, I 401 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 think this number is Yeah, I think it's kind of 402 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,599 like you can't read into too much to these wins 403 00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:19,960 because like they're against a Nick arbaullul Toronto they or 404 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,160 a loss against a like a trey Ford finally starts playing, 405 00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:26,559 but like Ottawa, they had a lot of bad bounces 406 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,039 go against them in that game too. So yeah, there's 407 00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,319 a clear like top and bottom in this league, I think, 408 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,720 and maybe not. I think Hamilton's kind of right in 409 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,799 the middle. You can't really decide. So I don't know. 410 00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:41,720 I like that Red Blacks number. It looks looks big. 411 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:45,359 You know, Drew Brown is good. The O line is 412 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,359 probably going to get a little healthier, and that was 413 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,319 a big problem for him in Edmonton. Uh, the Edmonton 414 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,839 D line started like they're all pretty much new guys 415 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,440 working together, right, So that Edmonton D line looked good. 416 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,079 Drew Brown was under pressure the whole time. That's only 417 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,200 going to get better. Like they've they've had a pretty 418 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,799 banged up injury report, and they also have a very 419 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:07,559 well organized injury report. It's the only team that organizes 420 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,240 by position easy to keep track of. So I'll give 421 00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:11,160 them credit for that. 422 00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 3: Credit when credits due for the injury report. 423 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: Twenty six and I've been looking at first half quite 424 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,279 a bit. I like looking at that stuff. I think 425 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:25,599 sometimes you know, you can kind of use what the 426 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240 numbers are, what the openers are, and kind of see. 427 00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: Where it's going here. 428 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: I almost would prefer this to be a plus, because 429 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119 I think it's a little more contrariant when it's that way. 430 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,880 But typically with some of these totals we get twenty three, 431 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:39,960 twenty four and a half for the first half. I'llby 432 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:43,279 this is twenty six and a half. And I'm not 433 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,200 saying that we haven't had a lot of the first 434 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,799 halfs go over in the full game go under, but 435 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,519 you know, I've I always talk about some of these 436 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:57,880 first halfs, the numbers being just so different. And Jeff, 437 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,200 who you know, I do shows with, like he'll pick 438 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,920 apart these like MLB totals in the first half and 439 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,640 just be like, when's the last time we saw six 440 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960 and a half in the first half or just something wild? 441 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,839 Right first five innings kind of reminds me of this one. 442 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,359 But the only thing I don't like is that it's 443 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,160 minus one fifteen to the over. You know, it's not 444 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,599 like they're trying to bait us into playing the under here. 445 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,839 They almost want us to play the over twenty six 446 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,799 and a half. But that's a hell of a lot 447 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,519 of points to get to twenty seven points in the 448 00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:27,319 first half they're asking us to get to. 449 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,599 Speaker 2: Especially when Bob Dice isn't going to use his timeouts 450 00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:32,359 in the first half, or is one time out? 451 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, plus two and a half plus one hundred minus 452 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,559 two and a half minus one twenty number As it 453 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,680 stands right now, it's autow or pass for me. Do 454 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,160 you recommend people jump in on auto one now if 455 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,359 they like it? Or probably not too much movement for 456 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,039 the next few days. 457 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: I think you can go another point, like, I don't 458 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,640 think people are going to be I don't think money's 459 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,240 going to be coming in on Ottawa. Like even we're 460 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:58,039 kind of uneasy talking about it. Too. Even even if 461 00:22:58,039 --> 00:22:59,240 I do bet it, it's only going to be a 462 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,559 half unit because it's Autawa, you have, I still have 463 00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:04,079 no faith in them. We're almost going on a full 464 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,960 year since that Labor Day game where I swore off them, 465 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,559 So I think it's Ottawa Autowa pass And yeah, that 466 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:16,160 first half total, like, there's so much garbage points that 467 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,519 goes up. That's a bolieve. I like almost one MP 468 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,480 last year because of the garbage time, and those last 469 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:26,000 three minutes could take forever and you could get twenty 470 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,799 twenty one, twenty four points in those last three minutes 471 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,359 of a CFL game. So the second half three minute 472 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,559 warning is a lot different than the first. Yeah, and 473 00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:39,279 you've got Ottawa that doesn't care in the last three 474 00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:40,240 minutes of the first half. 475 00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:44,279 Speaker 1: As we just saw the good news about FanDuel Canada 476 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,119 being one of the big sponsors of the CFL and TSN, 477 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,519 I believe there's a lot of odds out for everything 478 00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:53,359 like player props and all this different stuff early on 479 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,440 at FanDuel. Twenty four and a half is the number 480 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,880 for the team total shaded the under for the Red Blacks. 481 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,920 It I can if I can introduce you to the 482 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,680 world of team totals, Bobby, I think as that be one. 483 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: This is the number, right, because this is the thing. 484 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: And I always give credit to Jeff because he's the 485 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,000 team totals guy and I mostly used to do just 486 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,359 just do them in NHL. But twenty four and a 487 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,880 half right, because they'd love for it to be twenty 488 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,400 three and a half. And then that's a football number, right, 489 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,279 get you over twenty three and a half, good twenty. 490 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:27,079 Speaker 3: Four when it's twenty four and a half. 491 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: I like those, you know, it's the same thing with 492 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,880 me getting the Red Blacks over twenty seven and a 493 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,640 half last week. A lot of people would be on 494 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,359 those twenty six and a half. I want to get 495 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,319 the lower numbers. So FanDuel current price minus one oh 496 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,240 eight team total over twenty four. 497 00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:44,839 Speaker 3: And a half lock me in. I think I'll be 498 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,440 involved in that. 499 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: That's that's giving me vibes to last week's game against 500 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,119 the Elks. It's like, I'm pretty confident that if the 501 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,200 Red Blacks cover this four and a half number, they 502 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,720 probably get twenty five points for sure. 503 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a that's a great number for 504 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,400 the Red Blocks against a Hamilton team that can't stop anything, 505 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,640 can't stop Nick Carbuckle. 506 00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: So and you know what, I'll say this to people 507 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,480 that are watching that are interested in in jumping in 508 00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:20,839 on my plays or tailing Bobby or whoever. If you 509 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,079 can't bet team totals, take the full game over, you know, 510 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,160 reach out to me, see what I think. Maybe you'll 511 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,160 go half a unit less or whatever it may be. 512 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,640 But if you can't bet that, or you can take 513 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,240 the side, you know, you can take the side. But 514 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,920 a lot of times, like like, you know, we have 515 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,640 no problem giving credit to different people, Bobby, like Ian 516 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,039 has been smacking the team total on both teams in 517 00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:44,000 the same game. 518 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:45,559 Speaker 3: In some of these games. 519 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: Right, So if you like the over, you can jump 520 00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:50,279 team totals and all that good stuff. 521 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,559 Speaker 3: All right, because it was a good week. 522 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: We've got a good code that expires tonight at midnight. 523 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,720 CFL one hundred takes one dollars off the full season. 524 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,880 This is officially people are calling it now the dog 525 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,720 Days because Baseball All Star Break is going to be 526 00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:09,880 next week.

Even though you're distracted by other sports. 540 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,640 We're gonna still make money through the fall, uh, and 541 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,599 then into even the colder months as well. So CFL 542 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,559 one hundred, that promo code expires at midnight. Guys, forget 543 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,440 about buying daily, and we keep talking about it. You 544 00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,680 will not find any other league that has four or 545 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,720 five points swings. It's just if like, I'm not even 546 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,519 trying to sell you guys on it because it actually 547 00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:12,880 benefits me if people buy daily. But if you're trying 548 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,599 to handicap the CFL, you're better off getting an all access. 549 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,839 Speaker 3: What I like to play. 550 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,279 Speaker 1: I'll send it right to you guys, and you guys 551 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:22,079 can jump in and join me. All right, the last game, 552 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,000 it's all yours, Bobby, give us your thoughts here overall 553 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:28,119 opening numbers your lions at the Elks. 554 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Edmonton got to beat up on on a 555 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,000 team that doesn't really care about winning. But even then, 556 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,839 like they're playing the Red Blacks at home, lots of optimism. 557 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,960 Well no, there wasn't lots of optimism. I don't know 558 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,559 one fan on either side that was excited or confident 559 00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:50,000 about this game. And even Edmonton themselves like they were 560 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:54,839 so unsure that they actually scripted two quarterbacks to play 561 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720 this game. And like I'm the ultimate, like, why is 562 00:27:58,759 --> 00:28:02,960 Trey Ford on the field? Old guy? Those I don't 563 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,200 think either or either time was the time for Cody 564 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,319 Fajardo to get out there. So they actually ran out 565 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,759 Cody Fajardo for two planned series and like I hope 566 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:16,559 they're planned because like I would never accuse Fajardo of 567 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:21,000 complaining or anything like that causing a stir well backup 568 00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:25,880 quarterback has his job, not like he did in Saskatchewan 569 00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:31,160 or Montreal, but I'd just be like it was just 570 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,480 such a weird spot and it didn't make any sense. 571 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:35,640 And if anybody, like, if I was a blind trey 572 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,720 Ford hater, I'd say, well, come on, is any reason 573 00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,279 to get him out? But no, there wasn't a reason 574 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,440 to get him out. He wasn't playing that bad at 575 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,359 the time. They were up big, the momentum was in 576 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000 their way and like he hey, he had a couple, 577 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:50,519 he had one really good pass. The rest of all 578 00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:53,960 kind of dink and dunks that ran for forty yards 579 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,039 after the catch sort of thing. But hey, like people 580 00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,039 are saying trey Ford is good again or good for 581 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,160 the first time, national media back, and I'm saying Edmonton 582 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,880 is back, And if this was serious, then it'd be 583 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,119 something that we could kind of attack the other way. 584 00:29:09,319 --> 00:29:12,599 I would be happy to bet against the worst team 585 00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:15,680 in the league, but the books haven't adjusted for that. 586 00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:19,680 The books still don't believe in Edmonton. I'm not a 587 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,759 really big believer in Edmonton. I still think they're the 588 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:25,920 worst team in the league. But you're given the Lions 589 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,279 three and a half on the road. Nothing's really interesting 590 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,160 me at that number right now. But if it gets 591 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,559 any higher, like it's gonna be Edmonton again for me, 592 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,119 and these are like the bets that you love to hate, 593 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,960 and those are the ones that are the most satisfying 594 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,559 when they come in, like like yesterday, so BC favored 595 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:47,559 three and a half on the road. I don't know, 596 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,519 really know why some people were saying this was the 597 00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:53,559 worst team in the league less than a week ago, right, 598 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,920 So you don't need to overreact to this kind of stuff. 599 00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:00,400 I think the Lions still need to prove them selves. 600 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,880 A lot had to go right for them to get 601 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,039 that win in Montreal. Getting a win in Montreal is 602 00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:07,799 a big deal. But if Montreal had had first and 603 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,039 ten with a minute and twenty left on the BC 604 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:15,319 twenty yard line, why not just run three plays run 605 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:16,200 it into the end zone? 606 00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 3: Right? 607 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,119 Speaker 2: That would be the end of the game for the 608 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,200 Lions there. If Pierre Olivier Lestage doesn't punch a guy 609 00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:27,160 after a field goal, Lions probably don't get into field 610 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,039 goal range. If the Lions don't somehow miraculous miraculously make 611 00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:35,279 this two point eight second thirteen yard play, Like what 612 00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:39,160 a That was a Bob Dice level decision there that 613 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,240 they completely got away with. I don't know why they 614 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,200 were running to play with three seconds left on the 615 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,480 clock and then Sean Waite like he had to make 616 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,839 that field goal too, So a lot of things had 617 00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:52,480 to go right for the Lions, and that was just 618 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:56,200 to beat a Alouette's team with mcclub Bethel Thompson that 619 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,799 did play a little better, but still isn't where he 620 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,839 was last year. Still, plenty of teams would be happy 621 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,160 to have them as their as their number one on 622 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200 the bench. But a lot of things had to go 623 00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:13,079 right for the Lions, and like even even Ottow was 624 00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:17,920 getting was getting was Laying to three points on the 625 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,440 road last week didn't seem right. And I don't think 626 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,319 the BC Lions are are much better than the Red Blacks. 627 00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:26,720 I think they're kind of a middle of the road 628 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,799 team in this league. And you shouldn't be laying three 629 00:31:28,839 --> 00:31:31,079 and a half on the road against and against anyone, 630 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,359 even if it is the Red Blacks so or sorry, 631 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,759 even if it is against the Elks. So I think 632 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:40,440 it's gonna be Elks for me if this gets any higher, 633 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,720 But I'm more than happy to stay away from it too. 634 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,720 So h nothing's nicer than not having an Elks ticket 635 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,599 on game day. 636 00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:52,039 Speaker 1: Well, we talked about it. I mean, these numbers are 637 00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:53,839 gonna move, right, The numbers gonna move. We talked about 638 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,359 we're doing this show on Tuesday, gets posted to wager 639 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,839 Talk TV usually at night or Wednesday morning. 640 00:31:58,839 --> 00:32:01,279 Speaker 3: We're live on X right now. But these numbers will move. 641 00:32:01,319 --> 00:32:04,559 Speaker 1: And we said the same thing last Tuesday, and they 642 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,640 definitely moved by game day. 643 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,079 Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens with these. 644 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,279 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll post a screenshot or something later in the 645 00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:13,920 week once all the movement's taken place and things like that. 646 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:18,079 I gotta shout out Darsh Darsh Singh because he was 647 00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:20,759 protecting his boys. He said, hey, BC, watch out man, 648 00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:23,599 they got a good pass defense. Because I was saying, 649 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:25,119 have their bottom of the barrel with the run, and 650 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,920 then you chimed in and you're like, yeah, Andrews trying 651 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,759 to get me to talk bad about the coach too. 652 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,319 Speaker 3: I love that shout out to Darsh. 653 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,799 Speaker 1: I appreciate him for watching and everybody else that watches 654 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:37,960 it every week as well. But I do think I'm 655 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:40,559 right about how they're just obsessed with deep shots and 656 00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:41,839 now that they have Rourke. 657 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,599 Speaker 3: Back, they're gonna love going deep. 658 00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it short and simple over twenty four 659 00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:48,880 and a half first half. The Elks might have found 660 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,839 their offense, but their defense didn't really improve. It looked 661 00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,200 the exact same to me. They're still gonna get beat 662 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,200 by deep balls. And the crazy thing is the Red 663 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,799 Blacks put up that many points, Bobby by barely even 664 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:02,960 having that many long completions. They did a lot of 665 00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:05,000 dink and dunk the whole game, and they still put 666 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,759 up that many points. I think that we're gonna see 667 00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:12,640 BC catch Edmonton sleeping, get their secondary a little bit 668 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,799 early on in the game. But I also think Edmonton 669 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,319 right now the punt return, the run game, and yeah, 670 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,319 sure trade four will give him some credit as well. 671 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,799 So I don't think that there'll be much defense in 672 00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:26,119 this game. And the funny thing is it's the lowest total, right, 673 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,000 fifty three and a half, fifty one and a half 674 00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:30,559 and fifty and a half. I'm gonna go over twenty 675 00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:33,039 four and a half first half. Look for some action 676 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,559 early and we always use that, you know, fat and 677 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,279 sassy claim. Here we'll see how Edmonton's feeling after their 678 00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:43,039 first win. What was that in June or July in 679 00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,599 the last like two or three seasons or something, like that. 680 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,119 Speaker 2: So I think the last four seasons, yeah they haven't. 681 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,839 Speaker 1: Ye, they'll be feeling pretty good about themselves. So I'll 682 00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:54,920 look for points from both teams early on. You want 683 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,319 to talk about betting overs and just cheering for both teams. 684 00:33:57,359 --> 00:33:59,039 I think this is a good game to do. So, 685 00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:02,279 so we have three games that could definitely see putting 686 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:05,359 points on the board, but I'm actually gonna choose the 687 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,239 last game of the week, Week six, Sunday night, seven 688 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,880 pm Eastern, first. 689 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,039 Speaker 3: Half over twenty four and a half. All right, guys, 690 00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:13,880 that will do it for the show. 691 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: We'll update a lot more throughout the week as well. 692 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,280 Here you guys can follow us on x follow Bobby Admisis, 693 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,199 Suray Jack myself at McGinnis picks, and we'll get much 694 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,400 more tweeted out throughout the week.
