Previews by the Book

Not considered one of the premier sports of the betting industry, the CFL none the less has found a bit of attention from the bookmakers.

Now, we don't at all endorse the prospect of anyone betting the milk money on their favourite CFL squad (the game is far too unpredictable for that kind of thing), but for those that are curious the line on the standings at the end of the season includes the following:

In the East, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are considered the slight favourite to claim fist place at the end of October, with the Argonauts slightly behind them, followed by the Als and the Tiger Cats. The Vegas Insider offered up this synopsis of the Eastern Division.

In the West, The BC Lions are once again the favourites to take the Western title, with Calgary once again breathing down their necks, while Saskatchewan is said to be in for a long season as are the under performing Eskimos. From the Vegas Insider comes this preview of the divisional battles.

Of course the beauty of a line produced from outside of the country is the fact that few of those making these calls have actually seen anyone in a camp, let alone in a pre season game. So we suggest you take the prognostications with a grain of salt.
