I was SO excited to see the Argos come back last week to lower the line. I figure if the Argos had been 1 - 3 and lost that game this line would be at least -7 for the riders.

Durant starting instead of Crandell allows the offense to stay the same way it has been the last 2 games when they put up 30+ points. The defence has been pretty solid. They lose John Chick this week but gain Marcus Adams back.

The Argos save for that last 109 yard drive are not playing well and to suggest that drive has solved all their problems is ridiculous. Their defence is giving up big chunks of yardage which they always have but this year they arent limiting teams to FG's they are letting in majors. Their offense is without David Boston, Bethel Johnson and probably Andre Talbot and Kerry Joseph has not looked stable back there. Bishop no doubt wants in and there is still animosity there.

Anyways I am all over the Riders -5 and was just wondering what everyone thought about this game. I think even if Joseph does want to come back here and play a great game he doesnt have the weapons to do it and who would know better how to target his weaknesses ( making him a pocket passer ) better then Ken Miller.

Thoughts ?

Some other stats to think about

The Argos defence gives up 31.5 points a game vs. 22.5 for the Riders

The Argos surrender 167.5 yard per game rushing while the Riders average 126 yards per game rushing

The Argos surrender 440 yards of total offense per game overall vs. 335 for the Riders

At home the Riders are averaging 37.5 points per game and on the road the Argos are surrendering 31.5 points.

At home the Riders are allowing 23 points per game and on the road the Argos are scoring 25.5 a game.

I'm convinced the Argos win straight up tonight. Roughriders are overrated at the moment. I think the books still believe this is the same team which won the Grey Cup last year. They have no business laying this many points against imo a better team.

They layed 5 points to Montreal last week, a decent line, probably should have been 4. Now Toronto > Montreal and the line is 5.5? They are clueless, being fooled by the 4-0 record.

saskatchewan was " overrated " last year and won the grey cup.

they were overated before the season, after week 1, 2, 3 and now 4. eventually people are gonna have to watch this team and realize our run defence is the best in the league, our rushing attack is the best in the league and darian durant is throwing for almost 350 yards per game. i hate hearing we are overrated everytime something goes right for us.

the argos blow and if it wasnt for a edmonton defence giving up a 109 yard 1:00 drive they would be 1 - 3 and 7 - 9 point underdogs. one drive doesnt fix their aging defence, pourous run stopping, out of sync offense.

i like the riders by a TD tonight at least.

Not sure how a team that is 4-0 ats and 4-0 Su with a plus 11 point differential can be overrated.

they have beat edmonton, montreal and bc and hamilton by an 11 point average and 3 of those 4 teams are better then the Argos.

Dude you are clueless. I cant stand this Riders are over rated bullshit! The Argos fucking suck. They got blown out at home by the fucking Tiger Cats. They should have lost ANOTHER game at home last week vs the mediocre Esks. Their offense is terrible and that aging defense of theirs is brutal. Riders blow em out tonight and good luck!

hey man, as you know i won my chase games last night and ended up playing more chase games tonight. i parlayed oakland, boston and sask. oakland up 6-1, boston should win or might be rained out so sask better be the team you say there are. i was already going to go with them but i saw how adamant you were about them beating my argos that i played double the amount so i can not only win my money back today but a profit too like last night, i just hope they deliver at home..cant wait to watch the game on tv

FWIW - I was just responding to the overrated comment.......

I don't have an opinion on the 6 points - I have Sask at +.5 in 2 teasers and i am considering hedging.
