Week 2 is upon us and I will provide my opinions here.
Thu 5th - July: Montreal Allyoops at the Winnebagos in Manitoba
The Als are coming off a mediocre home performance in week 1 where the defense allowed only 19 attempts for 85 yds in rushing but; they only put out 20 att's for 83 yds rushing themselves on offence. In the passing department they threw 28 for 39 and racked up 271 yards while defensively they only allowed 16 of 30 for 230 yards.
Is Calvillo past his heydays or is there enough oil in the pan for another successful campaign or are the offensive engines going to seize up and crap out? Anthony Calvillo was sacked seven times and picked off three times for the Alouettes in the loss.
Now that the the CFL's most famous Uncle, Don Matthews has retired, does the new coaching crew have in them what it takes to cruise into the Eastern Conference playoffs?
The Blue Bombadiers went thru a wild contest in Saskatchewan in Week 1 and ended up in a very rare tie after 2 OT's; something that happens very rarely in CFL competition. Offensively they racked 127 yards on 18 rush attempts vs. 166 yds on 20 rush attempts which they gave up on defense. In the passing dept. they went 29 of 44 attempts in amassing :eeek: 416 yds. in pass offence while they allowed 33 of 43 attempts to be completed for a total of 394 pass yards against on defense.
As for a bit of trendy history:
Montreal is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Winnipeg.
Montreal is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Winnipeg.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Winnipeg's last 6 games at home.
Winnipeg is 4-8-1 SU in its last 13 games
Winnipeg is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games at home
Winnipeg is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games at home
Milt the stick Stegall is on a hunt for a record. The line opend at a field goal -3 in favour of WIN and is now -4.5 due to Joe Q Public stuffing their hard earned dineiros on a team who desparately needs to prove themselves IMO.
I will wait until just before game time to make a play, but I see a doggie
coming up strong and mean, barking and scratching their way to a SU win OTR.
Currently at a ML $ of +180 and an ATS of +4.5 -110 you have almost 3 units to look forward to after it's all said and done. Stegall will get his record probably, and then the Winnebagos will implode on defense.
Statfox says that MONTREAL is 17-4 UNDER in the first two weeks of the season since 1996.
The total is stuck at 49. If it stays there or moves up I'll be on the Under.
More to come Thursday regarding other M-ups this week.

who bounced back from a season-opening 24-22 home loss to British Columbia. The Argos moved to 14-1-1 against Hamilton in the last 16 regular season games. That includes a current seven-game winning streak, dating back to Labor Day 2005.
