Official CFL/Argos 2023 thread

Revised top 4 CFL teams ( in order) : Argos, Bombers, BC and Red Blacks. . . . Red Blacks 4th? come on man !

As an ardent RedBlack fan I can for the first in a few years say they're fun to watch.

Rookie QB Dustin Crum has been incredible so far and should improve substantially as he gets more playing time.

Hopefully this motivates the fans in Ottawa to start coming out to the games to support their team.

Next game is Friday against the Cats......Good chance to redeem themselves for that close loss they took when Masoli went down early.

Argos look like a juggernaut this year.......

I would say I'm an average CFL fan, but I have to admit, it's kinda fun watching those Thursday to Sunday night games, especially when the NFL hasn't started yet.

Argos keep rolling.

 

[LiveInTorontoPartyInMontreal]

+ 650 to + 215 now . . . That's a lot of heavy duty backing to move that betting line in 6 weeks . .. Looks like Georgia Bulldogs over in the NCAA . . .
In hindsight $ 100 bet on the spread & assuming we kept rolling our winnings would be worth approximately $ 4,100 right now !

With the Lions backup QB, and WPG domination the last couple of games, WPG is predicted to play the ARGOS in the final, or separately, 2:1 odds each. Who do you guys like now ? If that proves right and there are betting guys on this board, don't bet a team that game, just bet the OVER, trust me ! You can thank me post game.

Argos QB Chad Kelly injured too, left the game vs Calgary.

I just flip flopped my pick, WPG has better depth. Argos have no good backup QB's and if one RB gets hurt they have a hard time moving down the field. . .

 

[LiveInTorontoPartyInMontreal]

I try to think like a coach when watching sports, and I'm predicting Kelly is out till Labor Day match vs the Ticats . . .Then you have to concede 2 home games to OTT and then CALG . . .Argos go 6-3. . . Any thoughts on that play ?

Exclusive: past transition shows how CFL stats woes were avoidable - 3DownNation

It’s seven weeks into the 2023 season and the CFL and Genius Sports are still struggling to launch the league’s new stats system. As problems persist with both live game and historical statistics, fans have been left longing for the reliability of the past, while asking how this could have been...

This is why in game stats are not available for this years games.....Talk about dropping the ball.

Chad Kelly returns and the Argos are now 7-1.

 

[LiveInTorontoPartyInMontreal]

I read that Chad's Kelly's injury wasn't serious and the Argos had to have a bounce back game. I bet my last $ 15.00 on them. I'm back on the Argos wagon !

I watched the game and Kelly outside of the pick six was amazing. His vision and ability to pick up secondary reads is really something. The Argos have a gem in him. Too bad they receive virtually no support from populace of the city of Toronto.

 

[LiveInTorontoPartyInMontreal]

I can't believe that 8 weeks the Argos were +550 to win the Grey Cup. With their game last night vs the RedBlacks, this am they moved in, + 175. For all you Pro-Line players out there, a $ 1,000 bet on Week 1, would have an intrinsic value of $ 2,363.63 . All bookmakers would be sweating it out that you're holding onto the bet, so they hope you cash out early . . . with each successful week, the cash out offer would inch closer to $ 6,500.00 as it gets closer to Grey Cup time. . .

Very entertaining game. Was at BMO Fields to see it live.

Are people still watching the CFL? How are these teams making money.

I was at this game, a great game back and forth but the Argos finished on top. Now 8-1.

Where do you prefer to watch and what city has a better atmosphere to watch.

Hamilton is where I go watch as better atmosphere.

Simple the players make like $100K, the owners charge $16 for beer, $7 for a coke, $12 for popcorn, etc at the game. The CFL is big in Western Canada.
