Speaker 1: Every week we say time flies by, But wow, week
eleven in the CFL. Here we are CFL best Bets, tips,
line moving predictions, much more CFL betting blueprint. Andrew and Bobby, Well,
this is one of those weeks that I'm not upset.
Speaker 2: I'm not happy. We're moving on two.
Speaker 1: Week twelve wasn't a great week for me, not a
horrible week. I did have two teams blow leads on
me when I had a money line bet, but hey,
that's gonna happen to you, Bobby. How is your week
ten and how are you feeling going into this week?
Speaker 3: It was another good week And like even these ridiculous parlays,
I'm plugging in to make me look stupid on these
books or are hitting or even coming close to when
it comes to Winnipeg there, right, So yeah, some pretty
wild finishes. Glad to be on the rate number at least,
and a lot closer than I thought it would be.
For these money line dogs. I think I think they
were three and one and should have been four. And
oh if Winnipeg could play and play a full football.
Speaker 1: Game, Yeah, we're seeing that a lot of some teams
right now. I mean, look, I had Montreal money line
Winnipeg money line, and you know both teams cover the
point spread. But looking at those numbers there, I mean,
and that parlay you had, Bobby, I was rooting it
on for you. I was rooting it on with those
underdog the money line underdog parlays.
Speaker 2: You gotta love it.
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, sometimes you plug those into your sportsbook.
I read a Reddit thread actually the other day and
it was like ways to not get limited at your
sports book, and part of it was just doing stuff
like that, just throwing the odd parlay like that, you know,
the old wit Wish parlay, and you know, see if
you can kind of keep them guessing a little bit
that you maybe don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2: But another good week for you, and we'll take a
look at the odds logic page.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're gonna have all kinds of sites that
we always reference, more than just one site that we
can look at to use for our odds.
Speaker 2: Here Ottawa and Winnipeg.
Speaker 1: This is what they're calling the opener here at six
and a half, Pinnacle showing six circa, bed Online, south
Point FanDuel Most books at five and a half. However,
DraftKings decided to throw up a four and a half there,
Caesars five and a half fifty two and a half
being the total here Ottawa and Winnipeg, what do you
think right now? Winnipeg after a couple different times this
season getting a handful of points, they're now back in
the favorite role here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and honestly, I'm not sold Winnipeg's back. Like they
jumped out to that seventeen to nothing lead in Calgary
and at really no point did you feel confident Winnipeg
was going to pull that off. They ended up being
outscored twenty eight ten rest of the game. Calgary was
live favorites from like the second second quarter onwards, even
though they were behind most of the games. So Winnipeg's
still kind of struggling to find himself. But like then
you've got Ottawa where despite everything everybody on the sidelines
wearing a headset is trying to do to work against them,
still managed to win that game last week. And it's
just like it just gets worse and worse with these
coaching decisions. And the latest, the latest trick was Bob
Dice trying to trick a fully grown adult into kicking
a field goal from the four yard line, declined a
penalty to give him third and third and two or
three from the four yard line. Nobody should kick a
field goal there. He thought he was trying to be
smart forcing him into a field goal and not completely backfired. So, like, honestly,
for Ottawa, I feel bad. I feel bad for the fans.
Winning that game was the worst thing that could happen
to them. It's groundhog Day for them. They've got six
more weeks of bad decisions. At least the hot seat
apparently is turned off on Bob Dice. Yeah, it's just
they're just hopeless right now. And eventually I think you're
gonna see like Argo's levels of attendance in Ottawa because
they're just like unwatchable games. I feel bad for everybody
in the stadium, except for Bob Dice, who's doing it all,
doing it all to himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the difference is is that you know,
there's there's just a lot more going on in Toronto.
I guess we could say sports wise, right, like, you know,
you've got you've got the TFC, you've got the Maple
Leats do really well, you have the p WHL, you've
got the front of raptors, like, you've got a lot
going on, right, So I me, you're looking at Ottawa. Yeah,
they've got the sands and stuff, and you've got I
think they have p WHL team too and stuff. But
let's face it, even though Toronto has had success, you
talk about Argo's attendance, is I feel like when I
think about CFL diehard fan bases, I think more about
the Red Blacks, even though we've seen a couple of
great cups every couple of years here from from the Argos, uh,
which they probably should be having better attendance. But yeah,
it is sad you see the GM back them a
little bit. And also, I think here's the thing we
can say here, Bobby, with totals this week of you know,
fifty one and a half and then go down here
to fifty three and a half, fifty one and a half,
and then of course the Toronto won fifty three and
a half. I mean they can score like this Ottawa
team can score. They picked up weapons in the offseason.
They have wide receivers that can make plays. The only
thing that I can say here, and I'm curious what
you think is obviously Drew Brown has missed some time
here this season, right, and when he has been in there,
the team has looked a lot sharper offensively. There's been
no doubt about it, Like there's just this team has
looked way different with him in versus him out.
Speaker 2: The drop off from.
Speaker 1: QB one to QB two is huge, and then from
QB two to three is probably like close to the same.
Speaker 2: I think you and I would agree that it didn't.
Speaker 1: Look good for either of those two guys when they
came in and placement of him, and you look at
the Red Blacks putting up forty six and thirty one.
Speaker 2: In their last two games.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play in this case Wednesday morning
quarterback here, but they have looked better offensively lately. But
to your point, the decision makings holds them back and
the defense overall holds them back. The only thing is,
when you got a team that's putting up points like that,
it is kind of intriguing to take a point spread
with them getting five and a half points.
Speaker 2: Just because you can trust their offense to show up.
Speaker 1: But see, for me, I just want to bet the
over in this game, and you know, call me the
guy taking the obvious play here. But I look at
Winnipeg and they just have not been that defensive and
under juggernaut that they have been in years past. You know,
I remember doing some write ups and talking about how,
especially in first halves and first even three quarters, Winnipeg
was had barely allowed that many points through like an
eight or nine game span. This was like last year
or two years ago. I mean, it was unbelievable, especially
first half each game they were allowing like six points,
three points, nine points. And now things are just different
for them. I mean twenty eight points allowed in the
game they choked, thirty one points allowed against the Argos,
forty one points allowed against the Stamps, and then the
other game against the Argos they allowed thirty one. So
this team has given up points. I don't see that
changing anytime soon here. This is gonna be a kind
of more of these days are a rare full game over, Bobby,
because you know, I've been taking a lot of specific
team totals when I'm interested in taking, you know, a
higher scoring game. This is one of those ones where
I'm gonna sit back first game of the week and
hope for points for both teams here. As you mentioned,
mistakes are gonna be made for Ottawa and their coaching staff.
That's probably gonna cost them the plus five and a
half covers.
Speaker 2: So I'll just bet the over here.
Speaker 3: Any thoughts, Well, I told you to stop asking me
about these totals because I'm so bad at them. But yeah,
like Ottawa, I'm not even sure how many players on
Ottawa's defense were meant to be playing right now, like
they're they're pretty banged up on the D line. Their
secondary just took two more injuries as well, so they're
gonna be able to give up points like you said
Edmondton or Winnipeg's been given up points this season, which
is more unusual. Uh, and then Bob Dice will probably
spot them seven or ten points for the Bombers, right, So,
I like it sounds good. I'm not gonna I'm not
betting totals, So I like where you're thinking. It sounds
like a normal person's rationale for it. But if I'm
on anything this game, like as sad as it is,
if this game, if this line gets any bigger, I'm
gonna be given like a half unit taking a half
unit on the on the Red Blacks still can't trust
them with a full one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the dogs barking last week, and hard to
avoid looking at the dogs barking once again, especially with
some of these teams again that maybe their defense isn't great,
but they're finding ways to to win games. And a
lot of the teams, you know, a lot of these
teams that were plus five and a half, plus six
point dogs or plus four and a half as of late,
they've been winning the game, if not hanging around, which
is something worth looking at here. All right, guys, obviously
NFL time college football is getting here. We're still going
to be here every single week, and as I keep mentioning,
this is a good time to bet the CFL. We've
been having a good season so far though, but this
is a good time right now, this stretch where people
literally start dropping off as CFL betters. It's only week eleven.

my favorite plays last year closed out the NFL season
nine and oh run. I didn't want the NFL playoffs
to end, But of course, once the big game is over,
that's all, she wrote, nine and oh runs. So a
lot of pressure for me going into my first NFL
preseason game this weekend. So I have to let Bobby
know what that pick is. Although actually I'll Bobby, you've
got to bring you back in for this because we
even though it's a CFL show.
Speaker 2: How about those overs in week one? We talked about
this last week together.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever ended up doing it.
I was away for a wedding. I was kind of
monitoring it. I had one or two sides as free plays.
Did you bet any NFL overs last weekend.
Speaker 2: I had to ask.
Speaker 3: You, no, I stayed off. I'm still trying to stop
myself off from branching out too far, like like I've
been burned before doing. But yeah, these preseason overs, especially
if you can do some do some teaserss. I think
you do some free leg three leg teasers on these
overs to tease them down to like sixteen or eighteen
in some cases, right, So pretty ridiculous. And people are
saying it's to do with a few rule changes maybe,
but yeah, it's definitely interesting. It didn't it didn't play
out as planned last season, but the two preseasons before
they were pretty much locks. You were hitting about ninety
percent on these on these over teasers, So definitely interesting.
I'm more focused on on keeping keeping the streak alive
in the CFL right now, though, So I'm actually dreading
going having to pay attention to fantasy football in a
few weeks.
Speaker 2: I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 1: In the CFL, it's been a money maker, so let's
get back to it here in Toronto and Edmonton. Of course,
we've got some NFL games in between there the preseason,
but now minus three is the number here as we saw,
this number just continues to move. Here, Bobby, they're calling
the opener minus one and a half, but we know
it was even different than that number was before here
that was closer to pick, if not the opposite way.
But now minus three seems to be the consistent number
at most books. There are some two and a half's there,
but most spots are showing minus threes. As far as
Toronto Edmonton is concerned, total being at fifty three and
a half, I'm gonna tell you what I like. I
like Toronto in this one. I mean I haven't said
I like Toronto many times this season. You might call
me crazy, but I'm a big fan of of the
way it works with teams in certain roles. And I
said a lot about Calgary when they had their five
and oh streak ats as an underdog and they were
winning outright the money line. And if you look at
how the Calgary Stampeders have done recently, when not only
have they you know, been kind of called out by
people for overachieving, well, they've now been asked to lay
a number. And you know, they win by just one
against the Bombers, they lose by a heavy amount against
the Red Blacks. They lose outright against Montreal. I think
certain teams it's all about their roles. And I know
these players don't really give a damn about point spreads,
of course, but I do like to evaluate teams like that.
And now you've got Montreal, sure enough three and oh
ats under Frajardo.
Speaker 2: Now they're laying a field goal here.
Speaker 1: The thing is with Toronto, they're giving up points, but
they're scoring points on their own. I mentioned it in
the analysis when I was talking about Winnipeg. We look
at some of these Toronto Argonaut's scores forty two points,
thirty one points, thirty one points, twenty one points, twenty
five points, thirty eight points, twenty nine points. Like if
you're just simply betting team total overs with this Toronto team,
you've had a really good season so far, so you
know what, I think this is one of those spots
where I want to back Toronto and Bobby you know
it as well as I have in the CFL this year,
although it kind of bit me in the ass last
week with taking Montreal in the money line. Sometimes going
against the Steam movement has been the play. So I
want to see if people start to continue to fall
in love with Edmonton, and I would love, love, love
to get three in the hook with Toronto. Not sure
if I'll get all the way there or not, but
I like Toronto in this one.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said, like how Fajardo's kind of turned the
season around for Edmonton, but like they did choke away
game against Hamilton, they barely snuck by Caleb Evans, so
I was ready to pump the brakes, but then I
saw this opener. It's not there anymore, but yeah, there was,
Like Toronto was favored when this opened, and it doesn't
make any sense to me, Like Toronto's just a terrible
team right now. Far and Lelgi had a line about
the Lions earlier this yearly he can't play trey Ford
every week, and Toronto can't always play Ottawa. So I'll
take another shot, take another opportunity to remind everybody that
that Bob Dice won't be helping out the Argos next week.
They're gonna have to win on their own, and they
wouldn't have beaten any other team last week. And now
they've got questions at wide receiver. Now Coxy and Daniels
were dnps at practice. Maybe this could just be some
load management, but they've had a ton of other injuries.
It's but like o line basically all over they've they've
been one of the most beat up teams in addition
to Ottawa. So I just don't think when I saw
that opener they shouldn't be favored against anybody on the
road right now. I liked Edmonton at that opener, but
I honestly I'd be waiting for three three and a half.
I don't really see any big money or public I
don't know if public money really exists in CFL, but
the narrative is going to be to back Edmonton and
chase this line that's probably lost all of its value
on the Edmonton side. So for me, the only thing
I'll be doing is waiting for a number like you
like that three and a half would be good. I
think Edmonton still should be favored by more than a
field goal, but it's just an opportunity to middle this game.
And at this point, I don't know if there's much
value left on that Edmonton number at two and a
half or three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing I would love to
see Edmonton be put in a role not just to
win a game, but have to win a game by
a certain number of points, you know, And that's kind
of what we're seeing here. That's where the number is
going a little bit here. And you know, it's a
lot different when you're betting on a team and you're
watching the game and you're thinking, Okay, this team has
to just win the game for me, or they have
to do something specific.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I always think back to when I first kind of
when I met my girlfriend and I was kind of
telling her about, you know, teaching her points, spreads and
all this, and you know, it can kind of be
a pain in the ass teaching somebody how it works
all that stuff. And she's like, what are you mad
about your team's winning. I'm like, no, I needed to
win by eleven, not ten.
Speaker 2: Or whatever it is. It's like, it's like that's how
Edmonton is now.
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna walk in the room be an Edmonton
fan and be like, oh, yeah, they're up by one,
twenty eight, twenty seven.
Speaker 2: It's like no, no, no, no, they have to win
by four.
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel, hopefully back in Toronto, is
that Edmonton's going to be involved in just a really
tight game and that hopefully they can either make it
close or find a way to choke it away.
Speaker 2: So we're head to head. I don't like being head
to head with you, Gus.
Speaker 1: You're having a great year, but we'll see what can
happen in this one, all right, Moving towards our next
game here, as we go through all of those nfl
X games, Hamilton and sas because we're seeing three and
a half three at most books here, Cross DraftKings, Caesars,
FanDuel and more.
Speaker 2: Any input for you on this one, Hamilton sask.
Speaker 3: Not too much, just because I kind of agree with
where this line that, like Hamilton, Hamilton's this year's Red
Blocks of twenty twenty four. So they just beat up
on backup qbs when they're playing teams in the West,
and then they get to play the Red blocks where
they basically two by weeks, they've had a couple teams
give them some last minute wins with BC and Edmonton,
and then they know they kind of choked away that
game over the weekend against BC. But like they kind
of have a record that's better than they are. They
they're the ultimate like power standings kind of team and
nobody's really getting upset about their power standings not turning
out to be true because they don't actually use them
for anything. So I think Saskatchewan is the better team.
They should be favored by about a field. Go on
the road. We'll see where this line goes. I don't
see it again. Any smaller I'm probably gonna end up. I'll
probably end up on Hamilton if this gets any bigger,
and basically bet against everything I just said in the
last sixty seconds. So, but that's what.
Speaker 2: It is like.
Speaker 3: It's if the number gets too big, you have to
you have to take it, and there's worse bets that
there's uglier bets. There's not worse bets. There's uglier bets
that you can make this week, like this last one
we just talked about with Toronto, so which I'll probably
be on with you, but at least I'll have an
Edmonton money line in my pocket to kind of hedge
hedge out the disappointment. But yeah, no real thoughts on
this one. I think this line is kind of where
it should be. It's probably just going going to get
a little higher, and if it does, if it gets
to a four four and a half, then I'll be
on Hamilton.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an ugly one here, and this is
one that I'm not going to be excited to be
doing here. I'm gonna take the under fifty four and
a half fifty four, fifty three and a half shop
round for the best number here. Saskatchewan's defense has been
pretty steady as of late here, and I know that
Hamilton's defense can't be trusted most of the time, but
we've seen a couple of pretty steady weeks here of Saskatchewan.
But also they're really good, especially at home, of just
limiting the opponent's time possession. That's all I care about
when it comes to in over. And even though it's
the CFL, I'll tell you man, it's hard to get
to fifty four points. Like you need punt returns, you
need pick sixes, a lot of times, you need turnover
help to get over those totals. Like when you're watching
a lot of games and you see these high scoring affairs,
a lot of the times, it's because of turnovers. It's
because of kind of these miraculous plays that have happened,
not as much just of these teams consistently driving up
and down the field on each other, and you know, Saskatchewan,
I know you don't take too many shots at them,
and you know I got to take a shot at
my own Nova Scotian guy here, Brett Lawler, because you
know this team will drive the field, go all the
way to the thirty yard.
Speaker 2: Line and they'll kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: You know, they'll weigh six seven minutes off the clock
kick a field goal themselves. They're coming off a game
where they allowed just six points, but hey, that was
against Montreal who's been just absolutely struggling to have any
offensive consistency right now, Hamilton for them, for themselves. I
just think this is a team that has been involved
in a lot of high scoring games, but when they
go against Saskatchewan, they're not going to be able to
just throw these seventy yard bombs.
Speaker 2: They're going to have to actually move the chains and
play some.
Speaker 1: First down football and hopefully that can help us get
this under. So shot round, guys, fifty four and a
half's the best number. There are some fifty four flat there,
but this is kind of my hold my tongue, close
my eyes type of play here and take the under.
Speaker 2: Hamilton Saskatchewan highest total on the board, hold your tongue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to. I don't even want to
be talking about this game. That's why I don't even
want to be looking at the game. Close my eyes,
plug my ears. I don't even want to be discussing
the fact that I'm betting and under in Hamilton and Saskatchewan.
But fifty four and a half, that's a lot, So
anything for you, like as far as Hamilton, like you
mentioned the third last year's Ottawa, but like, do you think, Bobby,
that this team can just maintain this offensive success?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the offense isn't the problem though. The defense has
given up just as many points. Right, last game was
seventy nine seventy nine points scored, and you're taking an under.
That's a that is like an ugly, but that's a
that's the bets that we need to be making, right,
So I like it. It's contrary to what everybody else
would do, and that's that's kind of what you have
to do when you're betting in this league. But yeah,
like Hamilton just hasn't really impress me. They've been They've
got some good circumstances fall into their laps with with
backup quarterbacks and scheduling, so we'll see how We'll see
how they do here. This is this is a legitimate
team they're going to be playing and and like, even
though BC's look good the last couple of weeks, I
still don't think they're on the level that Saskatchewan is.
So this will be a real test and if they
do come through, then then good for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also want to see how people can start
taking Saskatchewan seriously because they have been one of the
steadiest and most consistent teams in the league and now
we are in week eleven talking here, so let's see
how people can start taking this team. I don't know
what I'll win against Hamilton will have to do for them,
but hey, you look around the league right now, you
think they deserve a little more respect than they've been getting,
and maybe they're starting to get some, but it did
take until week eleven to get it all.
Speaker 2: Right Montreal BC.
Speaker 1: I'm going to start off with this because I always
get day jeav VU. When I was on Gabe and
Cam's podcast yesterday, the Sports Rage a little bit different
time with that.
Speaker 2: Now it's a podcast during the day and recording.
Speaker 1: But this is this is just interesting, Like you you
love seeing head to heads. I'm gonna read off the
last couple head to heads here Montreal and BC twenty
one to twenty earlier this year when we got twenty
seven to twenty three, BC, thirty seven to twenty three,
BC thirty four to twenty five, BC thirty five, nineteen,
BC thirty one ten, BC twenty seven eighteen BC. This
is one of those times across all sports where you
just remember in your head like, oh, this team has
owned that team, and that's just been the case here
for the BC Lions, specifically at home against the Montreal Alouettes.
Although not a lot of those games, not all of them,
I should say, have been highest scoring. This to me,
whether you're getting twenty seven and a half at a
juice number or a decent price at twenty eight and
a half, this might be my team total play of
the week here, Bobby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I was about to say the talk
about the same thing here, right Like Montreal last year,
Montreal was like the best team in the league far
and away, and they went to b C and laid
an egg and right after the game, coaches, players they
all kind of said, yeah, we knew we were going
to lose this one year before they didn't look that great.
I think that was middle of July too, when they
came out to BC. So like it's just not a
good spot for them, Like this is one of the
few spots in the CFLs, this Montreal trip out to
b C. So you got that working against them. And
then you have like a legitimate QB question just because
like Caleb Evans played all right last week. Nobody at
practice yesterday. I don't even know practice happened. CFL website
says it should it have happened, but Jason Moss said
that there's a good indication that it will be Caleb
Evans starting. So like, yeah, you can't like anything to
do with Montreal here. I don't like four and a
half for BC, but it might have to take it.
It's not going to get any lower, right, And and
well done to Jason Moss. He did this to yourself
if you you played Alexander when he was hurt. He
didn't have to win that game against Toronto. And now
they're not sure if he's going to be back after
the six weeks. They're going to have him back when
he's ready, So luckily you're playing in the East here
guaranteed a playoff spot because Ottawa's in the division. But
uh yeah, just not not great stuff. If Sean Lemon
was coaching the team, you'd have real questions. But it's not.
It's Jason Moss and you just assume he just really
wanted to win that game and give up the next five.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, you know it's sad to say, but you did
call that they sacrificed winning a game for an injury.
And in a league where I always say this, you know,
the drop off from QB one to QB two is
just it's embarrassing kind of you can't you'd rather your
quarterback be injured for one or two weeks then for
a significant stretch. And that goes back to just like
talking about how although you can how do I phrase this,
like although you can kind of analyze a season so far.
Gabe and I were talking about this yesterday, the fact
that think about the great Cups the Toronto have won
in the last like five years, I think it was
what two of them, their regular seasons weren't even that
good during that stretch. Like we were talking about like
CFL futures right now, and I was talking about the
Calgary one and the Saskatchewan one, like I'm feeling pretty
damn good about those two ones. So then now you
look at like the other two crazy ones you could
get on this year would be like Toronto and Ottawa
would be the two other crazy ones. But like, if
you look at this league as a whole, and I
always talk about how it's a small league, then like,
at what point, Bobby, do you really count a team
out or do you really say, like this team is
not good or this team can't cover point spreads. Because
the funny thing is is I feel like this year
the dogs have been barking at almost I feel like
we had to wait until like week thirteen or fourteen
last year where it was like, okay, I'm already betting
on NFL. Now I check the lines, Okay, I'm taking
this dog. And now it feels like week nine to ten.
Even earlier than that, it was like I would say
a large portion of your eyes, I would say favorite
picks of the.
Speaker 2: Week and correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for you, but a larger
portion of my kind of more best bets have been
on the underdogs, where these teams that are favorites are
being overvalued and the teams that are underdogs are being undervalued.
Speaker 2: Would you agree with that because.
Speaker 1: Like Montreal with the banged up quarterback, Yeah, it sucks,
and I don't think it's a good spot for them
again this week. Of course I mentioned BC and liking them,
but them losing this week isn't going to crush their
chances of making, you know, the conference finals or having
a good week in week seventeen, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I've been on underdogs, like usually I'm on
underdogs like seventy eighty percent of these bets. So I
just looked at my last twenty four and I bet
like five favorites out of that and nothing really bigger
than like two or three points. So's there's plenty of
value in these underdogs in the CFL, especially with the
line movement so so big. Like I'm on an underdog
this week that is currently a favorite now, So yeah,
I really like this BC Lions number, but like I
just don't like it enough to bet it, and I
kind of think that I just want to bet it
because it's the Lions. So I'm not as good as
Ian Cameron as separating my fandom as a from my
sports betting. I just tried to like not be a
Lions fan anymore. But maybe, but it's always fun to
have a bet on the team that you want to win.
So I think I'm staying off. I think that's going
to keep me off it altogether. I don't have a
great read on this Montreal team. I've been on, at
least when i've been on them, So if it wasn't
for Montreal, I don't know if I might not have
to work anymore. Montreal's kind of kept me humble in
this last couple of months, so it's probably best if
I stay off. But I do think this number should
be closer to a touchdown and will be probably will
be over a touchdown once they announced the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: Man, I'll tell you, like, I think back to the
year the Montreal Canadians during the COVID run. They went
on their absolute heater, and I'm thinking myself, Man, I
didn't bet on this team nearly enough.
Speaker 2: I'm not on them enough.
Speaker 1: Like they went to the Stanley Cup finals, they were
an underdog and like every single game of that whole run. Besides,
like I think two of the games against Winnipeg. Even
last year they had to win. I think I think
they had won like, you know, ten of their last
like fourteen games to punch a ticket into the playoffs.
And I was like, because I was having so much
fun as a fan watching, but I also don't want
to be in on it just because I believe, because
I do believe.
Speaker 2: In them as a fan.
Speaker 1: So it kind of works in a way and against
me because when they were losing and they were horrible,
I wasn't betting against them very much. But now that
they've been winning again, I haven't been betting on them either,
So it's almost like I just pretend they don't exist
and I just get to like every night. That's my
one difference, Like everybody in my family would prefer to
watch a game with me that is a game that
is a team I support, like the Blue Jays or
the Packers or the Canadians, because it's like genuine fandom.
You can always tell the difference in someone watching a
game as a fan versus like, oh, are you kidding me?
Like you know, you just know they got money on
the game, which just sounds a little bit different than
if you're a fan of the team, So yeah, it
is funny.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you, I mean, you can't really.
Speaker 1: Like Bobby that the quotes that we heard last year
from Montreal, like they were just like, yeah, the travels
and excuse like we don't do well when we come here,
and yet they're hanging.
Speaker 2: A four to four and a half.
Speaker 1: I will say, yesterday the twenty seven and a half
team total was like minus one twenty two or one
twenty five. Now it's twenty eight and a half at
like minus one oh five one ten.
Speaker 2: So although the number hasn't moved on the money line.
Speaker 1: All right, sorry, the points spread, we are seeing some
movement here on the team total a little bit, so
they are expecting Montreal to allow some points. We'll see
what can happen. This is once a team we could
trust their defense, you know, so we'll see. But the
quarterback situation is an absolute mess right now. But guys,
