Looks like a coin toss to me. So that being said small lean for me on Edmonton + the points

Nope. Just started this year. Trying to bridge the gap to US football.

More news on these teams:

Montreal replaced their head coach and defensive coordinator during their bye-week.

Edmonton's Starting Rookie QB, Tre Ford is out for the game but they won't be starting highly experienced Nick Arbuckle who was traded to Ottawa on Monday. They will be going with Rookie QB Taylor Cornelius. WOW.

Modeling and statistically speaking this game is coming up as: 32-22 Montreal

But, modeling doesn't take into account Ford (EDM) being out as QB with Cornelius taking his place. It's tough to factor in a guy who hasn't played a lot.

Also, will the firing of the Montreal coaches light a fire under the Alouettes? Will it make them play with enthusiasm or will they be "pissed" the coach is gone?


These are intangibles that make a play on this game difficult.

Bubbles, the +9 just might be the play.

Nice outright big dog Tanko. I watched the Elks 2 weeks ago. QB was terrible but not there anymore but defense was solid and have one nice WR. Montreal CBs gave them the game.

 

[Orbison]

that was a great game tonight, glad i stuck with it, almost turned it off when it was 31-12

Elks now 2-0 on the road vs. the East

 

[Tanko]

We got a little lucky but I'll take it.
Calgary vs Winnipeg tonight. Should be a great game.
