Montreal is a tough place to win so any time a visiting team can walk into Molson Stadium and come away with a victory, it's a good effort. And Montreal has played better as of late - but I still think the Stamps win this one.
I'm not a Stamps fan by any stretch but I don't think too many fans of the Stamps or the CFL think that the Stamps can't compete consistently against the other teams in the league, in theory. They have all the talent to be able to get wins each time they play. That said, Burris over the course of his career has been terribly inconsistent - looks like the best QB in the league one week, a raw boneheaded rookie the next. And I'm not trying to pin all the of team's losses and wins on the QB but normally Burris' play is a huge factor in the Stamps (and the past, Riders) success. And because of his traditional inconsistency, I think you'll see the Stamps finish around or just above the .500 mark again (which isn't all that terrible in a very tough West division).
