June 9, 2022

Introduction Ah yes, another year and this time maybe a more “regular” regular season. Sweet Caroline last opened the Corbett Report on August 5, 2021, a mere 10 months ago. That shortened season, so wrought with uncertainty, managed to be played with only one game delayed due to . . . nope, won’t say the […]

The Corbett Report, Grey Cup 2021

December 12, 2021

Introduction Greetings from Hamilton and the 108th Grey Cup. The weather gods must be CFL fans because it looks like it’s going to be +6 at game time with no sign of rain or snow in the forecast. To say that this has been a different Grey Cup would be understatement. With only two team […]

2021 Divisional finals

December 4, 2021

Introduction It’s been 42 days since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have played a meaningful football game. Since that game they’ve gone 1-2 in meaningless games and spent much of their time watching the play of other teams. It’s bound to be on the mind of some Bomber fans that complacency may have set in. Not […]

Semi-final predictions, November 28, 2021

November 26, 2021

A couple of great match ups this weekend. In the east, can the Als ride the back of William Stanback and Trevor Harris and upset the Masoli lead Ti-Cats? Could be an ugly day with rain and snow in the forcast, but I’m going with home field advantage and the experience from last years playoffs […]

Five games this week of which only 2 will have a bearing on the final standings in the CFL. Earlier this week, I picked (incorrectly) Toronto over Edmonton. Edmonton won.

Away predictions, November 12, 2021

November 12, 2021

It’s always hard to win back to back games against the same opponent in any sport but when you’re on the road, starting your back up QB and are going against a solid, highly motivated team that’s scratching to move up in the standings it’s almost insurmountable. Hence the prediction of Montreal 26 Winnipeg 18 […]

The Corbett Report, November 6, 2021

November 6, 2021

Introduction Lots of dancing in Bomber nation two weeks ago as the Bombers clinched first place in the west, securing the Western Final in Winnipeg on December 5th. In most years, clinching first place during the second last week of October would not be considered unusual. Typically, it would mean locking up first place with […]

Bye week predictions, October 29, 2021

October 29, 2021

The Bombers are on a much deserved week off but there’s still lots of CFL action. Calgary visits Ottawa where the Redblacks are in peril having just fired their GM. Should be an easy victor for Bo-Levi. Calgary over Ottawa. Later today, it’s a similar scenario when Hamilton visits Edmonton. Pick the Ti-Cats to devour […]
