BC Lions -3 (-130) bought a point
NY Giants -2.5

I can guarantee that you Scotty77 will be all over this game as a fellow
CFL fan. As a BC Lion follower I can tell you this team is off and
rolling, after losing starting QB Dave Dickenson to a knee injury, backup
Casey Printers has come in and is quickly becoming the Michael Vick of the
CFL , is very athletic and excellent scrambler, also lighting up
opposition defences with one of the best receiving corps in the league to
help him out. After shutting down the top team in the league 2 weeks ago
and defeating Montreal, the BC defence looked sluggish last game and had a
letdown against Ottawa , giving up 27 first half points with Ottawa taking
a 27-20 first half lead. Second half was a different story as the D
stepped up and shut them out, BC went on to win 47-20. After winning the
first 3 games of the year, Hamilton has lost 4 straight and is looking
much more like the team that went 1-17 last season. They have been
getting torched through the air and that just so happens to be BC's
specialty. This game could get ugly, only thing that scares me is
Hamilton is coming off a bye week and sometimes you just never know what
can happen in this crazy CFL game. I bought the point and will be playing
BC -3 (-130)

Not a big NFL pre-season fan and rarely play them at all, but gonna make a
small play on the NY Giants tonight at -2.5 due to the fact that I believe
they will take this game more serious with all the jobs on the line in key
positions such as QB (Warner, Manning , Palmer) and RB (Mitchell, Dayne,
Barber and Levens). Lots of talent battling it out for jobs, while KC
will probably take a more conservative approach and not use Trent Green
and Priest Holmes too much at all. Good luck

    correction on the score posted last week, BC's defence was so good in the
    second half they should have taken 7 pts away from Ottawa's total but the
    final was actually 47-27 not 47-20 as posted

    Not sure why the line is only -4 here, as BC is the better team by far and
    Hamilton is coming off 4 straight losses.

    The only thing working in Hamilton's favour is having a bye week last
    week, but that is not as big as deal as it is in the NFL, where it can
    really benefit teams.

    Take the better team here at -4.
