With some fearless predictions added...for only to get thrown in my face at the end of the weekend...
BC @ Toronto - BC will be the toast of the league this year and Toronto has too many question marks (and by question marks I mean lack of talent) at QB.
Winnipeg @ Edmonton - Toss up here. Everybody is saying Winnipeg is the team to beat in the East. I'm not sure why but am taking them this week to start to prove it. Esks have some serious questions at o-line, RB, d-line and linebacker.
Saskatchewan @ Montreal - Montreal is always good to start the season but have some injury troubles this week. Edwards and Payton are out which means they start their 3rd stringer at RB and Stala is out as well. Add the fact that the totally unimaginative Marcel Bellefeille is their new OC and their offense doesn't scare me as much with Calvillo. It was pre-season I know but my Riders looked real good in the first half with their starters in against the Stamps' starters last Friday - both defense and offense. I think the injury troubles will hurt the Als this week.
Hamilton @ Calgary - Calgary runs away with this one. Burris was off last week but with the offensive arsenal that the Stamps have, offense will not be a problem for the Stamps this week. Hamilton is still rebuilding.
