Ron Raymond’s CFL Picks Week 10

BC Lions (50.0) vs. Montreal (-11.0)

• Friday, September, 3rd 2010
• Game Time: 7:30 PM
• Pick: BC Lions +11.0 (5* CFL GAME OF THE WEEK)

Keys to selection: Not sure if the oddsmakers are aware, but Anthony Calvillo is not going to be dressed for this game and the Als will be going with former Gator QB Chris Leak. The BC Lions are 1-7 SU on the season and the schedule maker has not been kind to Wally Buono and the Lions. BC has played the Roughriders and Stampeders twice, the Argos, Alouettes and Eskimos. Six of those teams have a winning record and they are catching the Alouettes off a bye week and they didn’t play poorly vs. the Stampeders last week. In fact, I’m going on record to say they will beat Montreal this weekend and look for Casey Printers to have a break out game.

ATS Database Stat of the Week: When BRITISH COLUMBIA team played as a Road team -Playing on Friday - Coming off a 1 game over; the Lions are 8-2 SU and 7-3-0 ATS in this spot since 1998.

Winnipeg (58.0) vs. Saskatchewan (-11.0)

• Sunday, September 5th 2010
• Game Time: 04:00 PM
• Pick: Winnipeg +11.0 (2*)

Keys to selection: The Saskatchewan Roughriders offense has shown some cracks in the armor of late and Darian Durant has seen his QB rating sink to 80.9 and he’s second to last in pass completion percentage at 58.8% behind Casey Printers (52.6%). The Bombers are coming off a bye week and that should help them coming into this game vs. the Green Riders who are coming off an upset lost to the Edmonton Eskimos. However, Winnipeg Head Coach Paul LaPolice has been some what of a disappointment in his first year on the job as a head coach and his Bombers are 0-4 SU on the road this season. Nevertheless, both of these teams will play again next weekend in the Banjo Bowl and the Bombers have the weapons on offense and the running game to stay within the number.

ATS Database Stat of the Week: When ANY CFL Team played as a 10 or more Road Underdog -Vs Non Division Opponent -During Week 8 to 12; the Road Underdog is 15-5-1 ATS in this spot.

Toronto (51.5) vs. Hamilton (-4.0)

• Monday, September 6th 2010
• Game Time: 2:30 PM
• Pick: Toronto +4.0 (2*)

Keys to selection: In my view, you have two balanced teams and look very much alike on both sides of the football. However, the Tiger Cats might have a slight edge in the special teams department and I look for Thigpen and DeAngelis to be the difference in this close Labor Day Classic game. I feel the Ticats get the win, but the Argos cover the spread. Field goal game in my mind. Play Toronto +4.0!

ATS Database Stat of the Week: When TORONTO team played as a +3.5 to +6.5 Road Underdog - After a conference game - Allowed score 14 points or more against; the Argos are 7-3 SU and 8-2-0 ATS in this situation since 2000.

Edmonton (55.0) vs. Calgary (-12.5)

• Monday, September 6th 2010
• Game Time: 6:00 PM
• Pick: UNDER 55.0 (2*)

Keys to selection: The Calgary Stampeders own one of the fastest defenses in the league and they’ve won all of their four home games by a margin of 19.5 points. The Edmonton Eskimos got blown out of the waters in this stadium on August 15th by a score of 56-15. The Eskimos are still a team in turmoil and are doing the QB shuffle with Ricky Ray and Jared Zabranksy. Too be honest, I have no clue how they are going to continue with their QB rotation, but I do know it will not work against the best team in the CFL this Labour Day Monday. However, I’m not going to mail this one in either, it’s the Battle of Alberta, emotions will be at an all time high and on any given Sunday or Monday, you’re one turnover away from turning the game around. But, I will not lay the points on the home team in this spot and I’m going to recommend we take the UNDER in this showdown.

ATS Database Stat of the Week: When CALGARY team played as a Home team -Total is 54.5 or more - Coming off a game scored 40 points or more; the UNDER is 11-3-0 for the Stamps in this spot since 1996.
