Premiums, 7.12 (Including CFL Picks)

I’ll take Clevinger vs. Gomber all day and since I expect Colorado to win tonight, this should be a good redemption game for a San Diego team that needs to start heating up. Redemption or not, the Rockies should be out-classed early.

Here’s the thing – not only is Edmonton the worst team in CFL, by far apparently, and Montreal isn’t far behind. The Alhouettes do have one thing going for them, however, and that’s their defense. Montreal is top 3 on defense in two categories that really matter, opponent net offense and yards per play. The pedestrian Edmonton offense shouldn’t be able to do much, but they’re also terribly desperate. They haven’t won a single game so far this season so I expect them to try as hard as humanly possible, but imagining a ton of points seems rather far-fetched. A closer game than people think, I like the under and the underdog.

Two of the most explosive offenses in CFL, Winnipeg is the favorite to win it all for good reason and a lot of that is because of their defense. Calgary would love to challenge that Friday. The Blue Bombers are capable of sticking with any team and it’s likely that the Stampeders will show up big time on the ground. Calgary’s Ka’Deem Carey is one of the best rushers in Canada and if the away team can punch Winnipeg in the mouth early and open up the pass, points won’t be limited in this contest. Like the over.

The WNBA is off its all star break and the Liberty need to ascend to get into the playoffs. The Aces are the league’s best team but like Kate Constable said on the show today, that’s too many points to give a hungry home team heading into the 2nd half of the season. We’ll take the points and I expect we’ll get the best line here.
