Are the Calgary Stampeders being overlooked? That was the question TSN\u2019s Drew Morrison <\/a>asked in his 3rd and 1 column last week before picking them +3.5 points against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.<\/p>\nNot only did the Stamps get Drew his cover, but they won the game outright by 21 points, moving to 5-1 on the season, tied for the best record in the league with Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
The win for Calgary moves them to 5-0 on the season straight up and against the spread when they open a game as the underdog, and, ironically, are 0-1 this season when the favourites.<\/p>\n
Following the win, the Stamps now sit at +350 to win the Grey Cup, after opening with the second longest odds on FanDuel at 20-1.<\/p>\n
Calgary\u2019s odds to win the Grey Cup are the third shortest in the league, trailing only Montreal (+230) and Saskatchewan (+340).<\/p>\n
Both teams picked up wins this weekend as Montreal erased an 18-point deficit in the second half to beat the Toronto Argos and the Roughriders took an early first-quarter lead over the BC Lions and never looked back.<\/p>\n
Montreal was the only favourite to win outright this week in the CFL, but Toronto covering the spread was an indicator for things to come as underdogs went 4-0 against the spread and won three of the four games.<\/p>\n

Scottie wins the Open and a 3m Open first click<\/p>\n
Congrats to Scottie Scheffler on winning the 2025 Open Championship.<\/p>\n
Scheffler is the No. 1 golfer in the world at the moment and played like it all week, winning by a dominating margin of four shots.<\/p>\n
Scottie was +450 in the outright market to start the week, and by the time Sunday rolled around he was -700 to convert on his 54-hole lead.<\/p>\n
The win for Scottie marks 10 straight 54-hole leads that he has been able to convert into a win, the second longest streak of all-time and is and is 27 more away from tying Tiger Woods for the record.<\/p>\n
On to the 3m Open.<\/p>\n
Many people seem to forget that last year I tipped Jhonattan Vegas at 75-1 to win the 3m before he nabbed his first win since 2017.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s see if I can do it again this year.<\/p>\n
My first click for this week is Matt McCarty at 90-1 in the outright market.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old American caught fire at this time of the calendar in 2024, winning three Korn Ferry Tour<\/p>\n
events from July 21 to Aug. 25 and he followed that run up with a PGA Tour win at the Black Desert Championship in October.<\/p>\n
Now that we know he\u2019s a proven winner this seems like a good time to buy back some of his stock with the majors in our rear-view mirror.<\/p>\n
Looking at everyone\u2019s last 36 rounds in this field, McCarty ranks third in birdie or better percentage and is 25th in SG: Putting.<\/p>\n
McCarty has shown a lot of volatility this season and his most recent stretch of golf is a good example of that.<\/p>\n
McCarty has played in 10 events since tying for 14th at The Masters, with four top 25s and six missed cuts.<\/p>\n
At 90-1 I\u2019m accepting the threat of a missed cut, but I\u2019m also leaning in the tie for fourth he had last month in Canada as a sign of ceiling to be had.<\/p>\n
Later in the week I\u2019ll lock in more outrights once we know tee times and have a better understanding of the weather. But as for a first click, give me a proven winner at 90-1 in a field that will provide opportunity for someone to do something special.<\/p>\n
