Lines are out for week 17 some things to consider..
Friday:
BC -12.5 @ Hamilton - Hamilton has been out of the play off race for 2 weeks now but get to measure themselves against the best team in the league. BC is still playing for the western final, Their best record ever (14wins), & will wanna blow up Casey Printers. BC has trouble covering OTR but have won games straight up.
Sask -5 @ Edmonton - Edmonton is still mathematically alive in the PO hunt. They can still cross over to the East if Montreal loses it's next games which is very likely (@ CGY & @ Winn) & Edmonton wins it's next two. (Sask & @ Ham) The Eskies beat Montreal twice in the H2H series so they hold the tie breaker. Montreal has lost 5 of their last 6 and did not cover a spread in that time. If hamilton happens to beat BC - Sask has something to play for - if BC wins this game means nothing to Sask as they will be locked in the 2nd place. I'll take some edmonton +5 3* right now I think this line goes down.....the eskies 3rd stringer Steven Jyles looked fairly comfortable as Edmonton extended BC into the 4th Q before the lions put them away on Saturday. Edmonton nearly upset the lions at home two weeks ago.
Winn @ Argos -5 - This should be the game of the week Winnipeg looked much better on Friday night as their defense turned in an impressive second half performance. Toronto is now 10-1 when Mike Bishop starts and are 12-4 ATS this year in all their games. This game will determine 1st place in the East, as Winnipeg holds a 1 point advantage over the Argos. The total on this game already dropped a full point from opening I had Toronto at -6 so this line looks sharp. Will check out winnipeg injury status before making a play.
Montreal +6 @ Calgary - Times are tough in the Montreal land the Al's are struggling and desperately need a win just to get their swagger back. This game may mean nothing by SAT, if the Eskies loose on Friday. Calgary is locked into third place in the west. I see this line has moved already from the time I started typing.
Feel free to add any insights or tidbits you may come across during the week.
