as you know first hand we are covering these games on average by 17 points so 7 or 7.5 is no cause for concern -- but the lighter the line the better --

It's gameday and sports.com still doesn't have the line out at 10:20 AM EDT. They tell me it will be out at 11:00.
Does anyone else use them? I have requested that they should put the lines Monday or Tuesday like every other book.I don't play with real money only Fazools.

Really good write up I found
Saskatchewan Roughriders –6.5 over Calgary –115
Saskatchewan's defense has been excellent lately. The Roughriders have given up between 17-24 defensive points in their last 5 games overall, and 17 defensive points in their last 2 home games against Toronto and Hamilton. Even though Calgary’s offense scored 42 points last week at home against Winnipeg, it should be noted that Winnipeg was a bad team heading into that game, and that their defense had given up 40+ defensive points in their previous two games so putting up 40+ points against Winnipeg wasn't really all that amazing. I expect Calgary's offensive output to fall within the 20-21 point range against a Saskatchewan defense which will be tough to beat at home.
Saskatchewan's pass offense has looked really good lately, putting up 761 total yards in their last 2 games. 368 passing yards at home against Hamilton is no big deal, but 403 passing yards in Montreal against an Alouettes defense which is second best against the pass is a big deal. The 403 total yards and the 10.6 yards per pass attempt per throw was by far the most Montreal had given up in a game this season. The 294 yards that Calgary put up in week 2 is the only pass performance which comes close to what Saskatchewan did last week and that was when Calgary still had a pass happy offensive system in which they never really attempted to run the ball. Saskatchewan's offense in their last 3 weeks against Calgary, Hamilton and Montreal, put up 31, 33, and 20 points of offense which is pretty much what all those 3 teams defenses had been giving up on average lately, so I expect Saskatchewan to put up around 30-31 offensive points, which is about what Calgary's defense has been giving up the last month.
Both these teams have already played twice this season. Calgary won in Saskatchewan in week one 33-10. In that game, Saskatchewan was playing with their horrible #3 QB. In the 2nd game in Calgary 3 weeks ago, the Roughriders got their revenge blowing out the Stamps 40-21. In that game the Roughriders had their regular QB playing and as you see in the above scores, the results were dramatically different. Calgary is a horrible 1-9 SU in their last 10 road games dating back to last season. I don't think this will be a blowout victory for Saskatchewan this week. I'm thinking that Saskatchewan wins this game by a score of about 30-20.
