Default CFL tonite

Winnipeg is on the road against Edmonton tonite. Edmonton has not been a place that the Bombers have fared to well in recent times. I believe 1-6 over the last few seasons.
Both teams have done a lot of re-tooling in the off season, with the Bombers starting over half the roster that is new to the team this year.

Included in the change is a brand new qb who moved with the new coach to Wpg in the off season.

What prompts some action on the under dog tonite is the fact that Kelly is an offensive master mind and he has all the tools at his disposal. The Bombers will have arguably the best receiving corps in the league this year and a new mobile qb solid run game.

The secondary was their achilles last year and is completely gutted. It may take them some time to gel but I think the Bombers catch a few by surprise in the early going. Line opened at 9.5, some have as low as 8 now, best available is 9, although Betfair shows 10.5?? Should be a close, hard fought contest. In addition to the coach and QB moving from Edmonton to Wpg, there are an additional 3 or 4 that went each way in the off-season. Bombers with the points.
