I do not play CFL totals. I have however in the past but have told myself not to do so as there are SOOO many possessions in this league as its only 3 down football so its is very hard predict the amount of capitalizations by each team. I have seen games with 3 points after the 1st qrtr or 10 points at halftime have 40-50 point scored in the 2nd half alone because of the numerous possessions. Also the clock stops after the 3 minute warning there can sometimes be 3-4 possessions in that time alone. Have seen 14-28 points scored in the final minutes of halfs/games on numerous ocassions aswell. On the other hand for your under tonight however the same of what I have said can apply to unders. With 3 down football defenses only need to get 2 stops to prevent a TD so punts and FGs are very common. Holding team to FGs in CFL as opposed to TD are really what win football games along with special teams being a factor for 1/3 of the game. However I would lean to the under here. Teams met each other in week 1 and the score was 23-16 (39) with the total only @ 43 I believe. The totals have been jacked up over the past couple weeks with overs hitting in general at such a high percentage. Both teams are rival to one another and they usual play to low scoring tight close games. Hopes this helps and good luck tonight!!!

18-11 final only 29 points scored. Went under by 24 points never in doubt. 18-3 at halftime and only 8 points scored by both teams combined in the second half..
