This is like Bob and Doug's version of the 8 days of Christmas where it was too hard to sing the last four verses....so they just chugged beer.
Sorry for my truancy....when the weather starts changing on the prairie, my schedule becomes more erratic than the Argonauts performance in sub zero winchill.
Speaking of the team from the self-proclaimed center of the universe, good luck to John Avery who took it upon himself to lobby for Domed Stadiums for the remainder of the western division teams.
In their infinite un-wisdom, the Sky-Dome actually scheduled concert events for November 6th and 7th. I suppose .... the Argo's conveniently ignored contacting them about those dates, deferring to a weak kneed effort to reschedule the Eastern semifinal to Friday November 5th.
This bit of molestation will result in Hamilton having only 5 days rest for the Eastern semifinal. The winner will then have an extra two days to prepare for the Eastern final.
Surprised? Not me, I think the Argo owners are losing their a$$e$, not that they can't afford the write-off ... nudge nudge wink wink.
I expect the lines this week to be no less than bizarre.
Estimated lines:
Thursday Oct. 28th Montreal @ Toronto -3 O/U 50 "Anti Climactic Bowl"
Friday Oct. 29th Calgary @ Winnipeg -6 O/U 54 "Trading Places Bowl"
Saturday Oct. 30th Hamilton @ Ottawa Pkem O/U 55 "Dry Run Bowl"
Saturday Oct. 30th Sask. @ BC Pkem O/U 56 "Banish Edmonton Bowl"
BRB....loading scotch
Moreal @ Tronna
In the news ... Don Matthew's became a Canadian citizen. In the weather, Don Mattews bought snow tires for his Harley... after reading the Farmers Almanac. In sports, this game amounts to wishfull thinking for the schedule-maker.
I expect Toronto to win here as the Als will replace Calvillo and Cahoon with Ted White and Mary Tyler Moore in the second half.
Cowtown @ Winterpeg
This contest will be an interesting post trade confrontation between two west division also-rans...but don't tell them that as it will be easily the most physical game of the week.
Khari Jones will be wearing red this time, matching the color of the whites of Joe Fleming's eyes.
Defer to AHF's column for the juicy details ...and thanks in advance Tim!
Steeltown @ Grenades
Take it to the Banks (Brad)
Do not expect Hamilton to brandish any tempered weapons in this one as they will be playing in Tronna 6 days hence in the East Semifinal.
Lean to Ottawa ... who play their version of the Grey Cup game as a dry run for the real deal that takes place on November 21st. Ottawa won't be in that game. I expect the team will have to dole out several thousand tickets to simulate the GC event.
This could be the Ottawa finale for Eric Tillman and Joe Paopao.
Men in Green Tights @ Lotusland
Ahhh....finally a meaninful game ... er ... not so fast ... this game is only important to the Riders, who stand to gain a home field playoff date if they can win their 6th consecutive game ... that must be a typo.
I expect BC to coast in this one as Edmonton's eyeballs roll into their eyelids. (players and fans)
The Schmoes put it upon themselves as they were the Jeckyl/Hyde CFL team of the year in '04.
Look for the "little green team that could" team to pull out all the stops to get HFA for the West Semifinal.
The Riders are 4-1 ats and 3-2 su at BC in their last 5. This will be the 6th time in 6 years that Sask plays their final game and final road game in BC in Late October/Early November.
Nobody wants to play in Saskatchewan in November ... especially Edmonton.
Big lean to the Roughriders.
***Edit: Add:
After seeing the lines, Ilike:
No "D" here Moreal/Tronna over 46
Hold nose with Ottawa +3
Bang hard Sask +2.5 and ML.
.....it's been fun and I hope to see all of your CFL playoff posts!
