We a have a normal four-game slate this week with the first game starting on Thursday evening at 6:30 central time, then we have a double header on Friday and the last game is on Saturday evening. Let's get started with some picks shall we?   CURRENT VEGAS ODDS: Calgary -5.0 @ Toronto (Total - 54.5) Winnipeg @ Ottawa -2.5 (Total - 57.5) Hamilton @ Edmonton -14.0 (Total - 55.0) Saskatchewan @ BC (currently no line)     QUARTERBACK MIKE REILLY - EDMONTON ESKIMOS - $11,000 Okay, so I'm not even going to keep repeating Hamilton's defensive statistics, because they are out of this world awful. They are ranked dead last in almost every defensive category known to man-kind, so we need to keep picking on them for DFS purposes from week to week. Calgary beat Hamilton 60-1 last week. I'll repeat it again. 60-1. Calgary was resting their starters by halftime which ruined many fantasy rosters including mine. Teams rarely get blown out two games in a row and these teams played in Hamilton three weeks ago, as the Eskimos barely squeaked by the Ti-Cats by a score of 31-28. Reilly scored 31.0 dk points in that game and last week he scored 40.2 DK points. The stud QB has 11 total TD's and he has passed for 1628 yards through five games. We will look elsewhere in cash games because he will be very popular, but he's the only place I will be looking for my cash game lineups. TREVOR HARRIS - OTTAWA RED-BLACKS - $9600 This guy is an awesome pivot off of Mike Reilly and he comes $1400 cheaper. Winnipeg is ranked second last in passing yards allowed behind Hamilton with 344.0 per game and they've allowed 85 points in their last two games. Yikes! Harris should tear their secondary apart this week. He has already passed for a whopping 1939 yards and 12 TD's in only five games. He has a wide variety of targets to throw to and with the total for this game set at 57.5 points, there should be a ton of scoring opportunities. Harris is a great gpp play this week and if you think...

The Canadian Football League (CFL): A DFS Introduction Editor’s note: Welcome our newest contributor Ryan Couckuyt, a resident of Manitoba Canada who’ll introduce you to the football league of the North, the Canadian Football League. Playing other DFS offerings? Be sure to check out the free 3-day trial to our MLB projection system which includes full player projections and optimal lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings.    This article will explain the differences between the NFL and CFL from both a rules and DFS perspective. Additionally we’ll talk some strategy to help gain an edge in cash games and tournaments. General CFL Rules First of all, up here in Canada we play with three downs instead of four. This usually leads to more passing plays and it can seem like the punters are always on the field. There are twelve players on the field at all times legally instead of eleven, and the entire playing field is 20 yards longer and marginally wider than an NFL field. With the larger field there are a lot of downfield passing plays and exciting all out blitzes which makes the CFL an exciting sport to watch. Scoring is the same as the NFL except for one minor difference: Teams get one point on a missed field goal or a punt in the Endzone if the non-kicking team decides against running the ball out of their Endzone. Players only need one foot inbounds instead of two to perform a legal catch, and the goalposts are just beyond the goal line instead of at the back of the Endzone. The final piece creates more room to run around and make plays or do something dumb and cost their team penalties. Of course there are more differences between the two leagues but I feel that they are minor and less important than the ones I have discussed. Daily Fantasy CFL Rosters Now for the fun part, the differences between the NFL and the CFL from a daily fantasy standpoint. Currently the only site that has CFL available to play is Draftkings, so we’ll focus specifically on that site. CFL is less complex than NFL. You will be filling your lineup with 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 2 flex spots where you can chose from WR's and RB's only, and 1 Def/ST. The total maximum salary is $50,000. There are no tight ends in the CFL, and if you look at a CFL depth chart you will notice 2 slot backs which are considered wide receivers on Draftkings. Building a CFL Lineup This next and last part is very important and involves where to should focus most of your attention when building your roster. Your QB...
