CFL Rankings: Week 5
Sean Murphy | Jul 24, 2013 | ARCHIVE
Last week's ranking in parentheses.
1. Saskatchewan Roughriders (1) The Riders look like a CFL juggernaut right now. I guess the only concern is, are they peaking too early? Remember, they'll host the 101st Grey Cup in Regina this fall. A loss is coming, but I'm certainly not interested in standing in Saskatchewan's way right now.
2. B.C. Lions (2) B.C. has benefited from a rather soft schedule over the last few weeks, hosting the Argos before a home-and-home set with the Eskimos. Things will get a little tougher this week (or should I say next week - the game will be played on Tuesday) as they head to Toronto for their toughest road test of the young season.
3. Calgary Stampeders (3) Drew Tate is hurt. Now Kevin Glenn is banged up as well. No big deal. The Stamps have more QB depth than any team in the league, with third-stringer Bo Levi Mitchell more than capable of holding his own as we saw last weekend against Montreal. We'll see if the Stamps can avoid a letdown against a hungry Bombers squad in Winnipeg on Friday.
4. Toronto Argonauts (4) Toronto desperately needed a strong showing in Winnipeg last week and got just that, rolling to a 35-19 victory. Unfortunately, they'll have to soldier on without RB Chad Kackert for the next few weeks, and to make matters worse, QB Ricky Ray is nursing a knee injury but should be good to go by Tuesday night when the Argos host the Lions.
5. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (5) The Bombers aren't doing anything to instill much confidence in their home faithful, but with that being said, neither are the teams below them. Despite winning only once in four games this season, Winnipeg still finds itself just one game back of the East-leading Argos. The Bombers have dropped seven in a row against the Stampeders but will try to reverse that trend on Friday.
6. Edmonton Eskimos (8) I'm going to give the rebuilding Eskimos the benefit of the doubt and bump them up a couple of spots this week. They're just 1-3, but those three losses have come against Saskatchewan and B.C. (twice), arguably the league's two best teams. They didn't quit last Saturday at B.C. Place, and have a winnable game on deck in Montreal on Thursday night. Obviously, QB Mike Reilly's injury status will be key.
7. Montreal Alouettes (7) The Als looked great last week. For a quarter. It was all downhill from there as the offense couldn't punch back once the Stampeders made the necessary defensive adjustments. QB Anthony Calvillo and offensive coordinator Mike Miller are saying all the right things, but body language during games seems to indicate otherwise. Needless to say, the Dan Hawkins era is off to a miserable start in Montreal.
8. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6) Until the Ti-Cats can get healthy, there will continue to be a few stinkers here and there. We certainly saw one on Sunday as they were trounced 37-0 by the Riders in Saskatchewan. Hamilton won't have to wait to get a shot at revenge as it will host the Riders on Saturday night in Guelph. The good news is, Saskatchewan hasn't swept the season series since 2010. -
Eskimos at Alouettes: What bettors need to know
Edmonton Eskimos at Montreal Alouettes (-5, 48.5)
The Montreal Alouettes are scrambling for a way to bounce back after blowing a 24-0 lead and suffering their third straight defeat. Perhaps they will find it Thursday when they host the Edmonton Eskimos - a team the Alouettes have not lost to since July 30, 2009. Montreal is 6-0 against Edmonton over the last three years but has not looked like the same dominant team under new coach Dan Hawkins, who faces issues with consistency on offense and discipline on defense.
The Eskimos should be happy to head east again after dropping back-to-back games against the BC Lions to fall to 0-3 against West Division opponents. Edmonton’s only victory came in Week 2, when it defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 30-20 in Guelph, Ont. The biggest problem for the Eskimos has been their offense, which has produced a league-low 72 points with starting quarterback Mike Reilly (56-for-100 passing, 644 yards), whose job is likely on the line.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN
ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (1-3, 1-3 ATS): Reilly has been effective on the ground, running for 151 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries. Backup quarterback Jonathan Crompton looked good filling in for Reilly in the late stages of Week 4, finishing 4-for-5 for 76 yards and a touchdown. Crompton is 10-for-16 in his first CFL season and has yet to throw an interception. Linebackers JC Sherritt and Damaso Munoz lead Edmonton’s defense with 27 and 26 tackles, respectively.
ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (1-3, 1-3 ATS): Quarterback Anthony Calvillo is off to an uneven start, completing 76-of-129 passes and throwing as many interceptions as touchdowns (four). Calvillo has connected with slotback S.J. Green for 307 yards and three of his four touchdown tosses, while only two other receivers - slotbacks Arland Bruce and Jamel Richardson - have more than 100 receiving yards. Linebacker Chip Cox has two sacks and an interception to add to his league-leading 36 tackles, while safety Kyries Hebert has a team-leading five sacks.
TRENDS:
* Eskimos are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Eskimos are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Montreal.
* Eskimos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games.
* Alouettes are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games.
EXTRA POINTS:
1. Hebert, living up to his “Angry Bird” nickname, was flagged twice for unnecessary roughness in Week 4, extending key drives in the early stages of the Calgary Stampeders’ 38-27 comeback victory.
2. Edmonton RB Hugh Charles leads the team with 454 total combined yards.
3. The Alouettes have not lost a home game against the Eskimos since Sept. 23, 2007, but are 0-2 playing at home in Molson Stadium to begin the season.Comment

RBC Canadian Open: Golf betting preview and picks
By MATT FARGO
We follow up an exciting Open Championship with the RBC Canadian Open this week from Oakville, Ontario.
This is always one of the more difficult tournaments on tour to breakdown because of the constant venue changes. The Canadian Open has been around for over a century and in that span, 37 different courses have played host. This year it returns to Glen Abbey Golf Club for the 26th time.
Glen Abbey is a Par-72, 7,253-yard track that is considered one of the easier courses of the rotation. It has not hosted the Canadian Open since 2009 when Nathan Green won in a playoff over Retief Goosen after scores of -18.
The year before, Glen Abbey also hosted and it was Chez Reavie that took home the championship with a minus-17, three shots clear of Billy Mayfair. Those results show that players can go low here so we will see plenty of pin hunting this week.
This is the seventh consecutive year that the RBC Canadian Open has followed the Open Championship and that is certainly a tough draw. As with any event following a major, the field is lacking in star power as only four players from the Top 10 of the FedEx Cup Standings are teeing it up this week.
That makes for a pretty wide open tournament and it heightened by the fact that not many players in the field have stepped foot on this track before.
Brandt Snedeker (+1,200) is the favorite this week following his third straight Top 20 at Muirfield last week. After a blazing start to the season with four Top 5s in his first five starts, he has cooled off with none over his last 10 starts, but he brings experience to the table this week. He finished T5 at Glen Abbey in 2009, posting the best score in the field over the final three days after opening with a 73.
Grinding it out at the Open Championship makes it tough on some to keep focused the following week but Luke Donald (+2,000) doesn’t have to worry about that. He missed the cut by four shots at Muirfield so he has some added rest for this week. He is having a solid season with three Top 10s and has finished 25th or better in eight of 10 starts. His score of 10-under was good for a T24 here back in 2009.
It’s hard to look past Canadian Graeme DeLaet (+2,500). He is coming off a subpar showing at the Open Championship but prior to that, he posted seven straight Top-30 finishes including three Top 10s. His best finish is a solo third at the Travelers and, while he finished T46 here back in 2009, I consider that pretty solid as that was his only PGA Tour start that year. He will be the partisan favorite this week.
Billy Horschel (+3,000) has missed only two cuts this season and both were at majors (if you count the PLAYERS), so he will be around for the weekend here. Overall, he has seven Top 10s and, while none have come in his last three starts, he could be poised to better playing leading up to the playoffs. This is his first start at Glenn Abbey, but it should fit him well as he is second on tour with 302 birdies.
For a long shot, we will go with Jerry Kelly (+6,000). After a slow start, he has just one missed cut in his last nine starts and he is coming off a T4 in his last even at the John Deere Classic. That was his second Top 5 of the season, his other being a solo fifth at the RBC Heritage. He played at Glen Abbey in 2004, 2008 and 2009 and he was solid with a T5, T37 and a T5 respectively.
Recommended tournament win fivepack at The RBC Canadian Open (all for one unit)
Brandt Snedeker (+1,200)
Luke Donald (+2,000)
Graeme DeLaet (+2,500)
Billy Horschel (+3,000)
Jerry Kelly (+6,000)

DAVE ESSLER
MLB Thrusday Thoughts
With all the day games, as usual, best to wait for lineups as many managers rest key players.
Atlanta-Mets: Alex Wood has some impressive numbers. Out of the bullpen. The real key here is how long he can or will be allowed to pitch. Wheeler threw over 100 pitches in both his last two outings, and actually already shut out the Braves this season. I'd look for Atlanta to make the adjustments this time around, but the Braves are one time I am especially concerned about who rests in day games. Lean under, however. With the Braves having the big lead early Wednesday, their pen ought to be rested while New York's may well not.
Pirates-Washington: Gio seems to have his groove back and may well be the Nationals most reliable starter, and if I ever do fade the Pirates it's usually against a LHP. One thing about Burnett's recent successes is that many of those wins were against inferior offenses, and I do like Washington much better against RHP. With Harper resting Wednesday, I do lean Washington here. Bullpens not withstanding.
San Diego-Milwaukee: Which Yovanni do we get. The one that's been stellar lately or the one that's thrown 100+ pitches in three straight games. I like to look at "over" when he's pitching because he can totally suck, but he CAN hit is is a huge asset there. The Padres have fared well against him. And Volquez is going to give up runs.
Miami-Colorado: Eovaldi had thrown about six straight quality starts before getting lit up against the Brewers, and the Rockies have seen just enough of him to think they may well light him up as well. But again, it really does depend on who starts and who sits. Because Nicasio is not your typical Colorado pitcher with terrible numbers at home and Miami hasn't seen much of him, this looks like the Rockies game to lose, and if the wrong people sit the total might be too high.
Phillies-Cardinals: As I type St. Louis is in the midst of a potential big inning, and of course we took the Phillies RL. Cardinals are just one of those teams that I can't get right. Lynn is a pitcher I can't get right. Lynn has, however, done well against the Phillies. Kendrick has been going downhill lately and really would have a tough time trying to take the Phillies in this one.
Cubs at Arizona: Probably would have a tough time taking the Cubs here against a LHP, but, Miley's shown a few cracks lately and a few of the Cubs have hit just enough off of him to give a look to the RL, perhaps. Villaneuva simply not backable as a starter, meaning at the very least we'd have to trust the Cubs bullpen longer than we'd like. However, trusting them for one inning is too many. This could be a higher scoring game.
Reds-Dodgers: I suppose if there was ever a time to fade the Dodgers it might be on a first game back after flying cross country and through customs. Put Latos back in the bigger park and perhaps I might have to break my self imposed ban on the Reds.
Yankees-Rangers: I have never had the respect for Holland that the oddsmakers do, simply because he's not a ground ball pitcher and in a park that might not hold balls in the daytime, I can't take the Rangers. Kuroda's season-long WHIP of 1.04 is something that's worth a NYY RL play at least, IMO.
Detroit at Chicago: I shall pass this game. I won't lay -150 on the road and can't bet on the White Sox right now. Probably under.
Houston-Toronto: Houston is playing some solid ball, and after the grueling series against the Dodgers I have to wonder if Houston RL isn't worth a look here. Buehrle is simply not going to over power the Astros, and I like them far more against a LHP than not. The total's a big one, perhaps too big. I do like that Houston is accustomed to playing in a dome, although the roof may be open, which would make people automatically look at the over. Might be wise to wait and take the under.
Rays-Boston: Hellickson is one of those feast or famine pitchers for me. He beat Boston earlier in the year, but many of the Red Sox regulars have had success against him. Was Lackey's outing against New York the inevitable regression we've been waiting for, or a blip on the screen. The Rays have fared well individually against him, so I can make a reasonable argument for the over, simply because one of these guys should get hit hard. Perhaps over, and best bullpen remaining after Wednesday wins.
Baltimore-Royals: I do like to back pitchers going against their old team (or one of them, lol), but getting behind the Royals is tough lately. Gonzalez has been un-hittable and against some formidable teams, so we'd have to take the Orioles here, and lean under.
Oakland-Los Angeles: A's flying back from Houston where they really didn't play all that well, while the Angels must have been playing a look-ahead series with the Twins. Wilson has been a beast of late, and in the big park here against Straily I can't see this hitting eight runs. But, I might wait and see if it gets to 8 first. I doubt it will. Under is the best play here.
Minnesota-Seattle: How will Seattle rebound from Thursday's bashing at the hands of the Indians, and how much mojo will the Twins bring up from SoCal. Iwakuma has been somewhat hittable lately and the Twins have a score to settle from a shutout Iwakuma threw at them in May. Corriea has kept the Twins in most games this season and has a score to settle for an earlier bad loss against Seattle, so, perhaps the Twins RL. I do like Seattle better against RHP, but when they go into hitting slumps, they REALLY go. Under.Comment
