CFL Picks: 2 of them this Week:
3-Unit Play. #682. Take Edmonton Eskimos -6.5 (-110) Over Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Friday @ 9:00pm est)
5-Unit Play. #682. Take Total Under 46.5 (-110) Winnipeg Blue Bomber vs Edmonton Eskimos (Friday @ 9:00pm est)
We are fresh off a 2-0 week with a *7 and *3 winner. Lets keep it rolling. This week both our plays are in what many to believe to be the game of the week. We rolling with the Eskimos at home to cover the spread and the under here. We have always believed that the total going under is indicative of the favorite doing well and that's the situation we have here. There are several key factors in this game. This is a huge game and a big statement game as the Eskimos have a chance to tie the Bombers for first place in the West Division. These two teams met earlier this season in Winnipeg with the Bombers holding on to the victory 28-21 despite the Eskimos late 9-0 scoring run late. So the Eskimos are motivated with revenge here, as they are just one of three undefeated teams at home. You have a #1 ranked defense with the Eskimos who have allowed just 3 sacks all year in 9 games, and allowing just 18 pts per game. At home they are 4-0 as a favorite and allowing just 15 pts against. The Bombers defense is no slouch either as they have the #2 ranked defense allowing just 19 pts per game. This game is going to have a playoff type atmosphere and feel to the game as both defenses will step up here. Now the big key to this game is Bombers #1 QB Matt Nichols is out 4-6 weeks so they will go with Matt Steveler as the starter. Streveler was 1-4 as a starter last year. Streveler's strength has always been his ability to run and scramble. It has also been said that league leading rusher Andrew Harris will be expected to carry more of the work load with Streveler at QB. Harris has accounted for 46% of the Bombers offense the last 3 games. This will be a huge challenge for the Bombers. The Eskimos have the league's best pass defence (193 yards per game) and the third-best run defence (88 yards per game). One thing that is overlooked with the Bombers and their 7-2 record is that 5 of the victories have come against the leagues worst teams, Argos, Lions, and Red Blacks. You have a Eskimos team that is looking for revenge, Bombers will miss their start QB on offense, and two of the best defenses going toe to toe. I think the Eskimos stout defense will be to much for Streveler in his first start of the season. Hence we like for the Eskimos to cover but also for this to be a lower scoring game. The public is heavy on the Bombers given their record and getting plus points, as well the public is on the over, so you have a nice public fade. Under is 7-1 in Blue Bombers last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 7-3 in Blue Bombers last 10 vs. West. Under is 6-1 in Eskimos last 7 games overall.
