We're now officially into the second half of the CFL regular season! Yes, this update is a day early, I know - it's one of those weird weeks where three teams will be out on bye, hence necessitating a bit of a shakeup away from more typical Thursday/Friday/Saturday scheduling. Hamilton

Temple (+14) at Rutgers (6:30, BTN) Y'all remember I called (and wagered) the ML for
