Week 5 Picks It’s time for me to start being right more than wrong and it starts this week. Calgary @ Ottawa: Friday, July 24 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary No one is picking Ottawa in this one. Argonauts @ BC: Friday, July 24 (10:00pm EDT) Pick: BC This could go either way and I don’t really have a favourite here…
Week 4 Picks Yeah I’m struggling so far this season. Who isn’t? Just means I have to double up this week. Hamilton @ Montreal: Thursday, July 16 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton Cato is a rookie after all. Edmonton @ Ottawa: Friday, July 17 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton Will Ottawa exact some measure of revenge? They win this and it will…
Week 3 Picks I chickened out at the last minute this past week and took BC to beat Ottawa. That cost me $56 on a very juicy three game pro-line ticket. Always go with your sports gut! Ottawa @ Edmonton: Thursday, July 9 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa Because they’re 2-0 and Edmonton is without their starting QB. Bodog has Ottawa as…
Canadian Football enters its second week after an opening set that would have taken a time machine to forecast. A couple of thoughts before kick-off tonight: The Fragile Quarterback League 3/9 CFL starters are now injured after the first week and a full 33% of quarterbacks that saw any game action are hurt. Underwater welding would be…
Week 2 Picks Hamilton @ Winnipeg: Thursday, July 2 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton The Bombers defense was absolutely terrible last week, atrocious even. Hamilton came within a couple of first down of beating Calgary at home. Also, Hamilton made mince meat of Winnipeg in the pre-season, whether or not that means anything is up for debate. Calgary @ Montreal: Friday,…
The long, long wait is over! Football is back! Last year in this space I was prophetic and correctly predicted Calgary sending Hamilton home in tears and that’s EXACTLY how it went down. What does your not-so-humble and illustrious oracle foresee this campaign? Let me tell you! West The West keeps beating the snot out of the…
It’s going to be very hard to beat last year’s performance. I had several 4-0 weeks and ended the season at 64-22 (.744!). I also correctly picked the Grey Cup teams (Calgary and Hamilton) and the winner (Calgary) before the season even started! With the arrival of the 2015 season my slate is wiped clean. Here’s who I…
It’s about damn time the Argos were finally sold to 2/3rds of MLSE. The Great Satan has done everything it could to screw them and the CFL but for once they’ve failed to destroy something good. Although it was certainly sulking behind the scenes, the Great Satan wasn’t crying about anything publicly (though I theorize it may have had a hand in ruining…
If you followed The Hoser’s Guide to the 102nd Grey Cup (required reading before you go any further) then your trip will look remarkably similar to the exploits herein. Along the way I have ranked parties and events out of 5. (1/5) – Don’t bother next year. (2/5) – Worth one drink, but only to say you…
You may or may not be surprised to learn that I made it home from Vancouver alive. l admit that I had no idea the Cats almost pulled it off right at the end until I picked up the paper the next morning (to be explained later). Many souvenirs from one of the best Grey…
