I think after week 2, I am 5-1! Here are my picks for this week (I will be in Dallas and Las Vegas for this weeks games):
Montreal
WINNIPEG
Toronto
Saskatchewan
Go Bombers!

Alouettes de Montréal Feels like a bit of a trap game, raising the Grey Cup banner for the home opener. There’s a risk of an emotional letdown after two hard-fought road wins. Still, barring injuries, I think we do just enough to win and keep the 2023 “streak” alive. BC Lions Super-tough pick. I picked Winnipeg the past two weeks and wasn’t rewarded. Do I really bet against the Bombers at home, with their backs to the wall? Not if they’re healthy, but with all their injuries and the Lions’ performance in week 2, yes. Toronto Argonauts A sneaky-hard pick, as Edmonton showed very well in a tough, close loss to Montreal in week 2. But on the road against a ferocious Toronto defence, I don’t think they have quite enough to get it done. Hamilton Tiger-Cats This is my long-odds roll of the dice. Hamilton were within a minute of getting their first win of the year, until the wheels came off on both offence and defence. I think they come into Regina and scrap out a redemption win.
Not so sure about that. The Riders lost 2 key receivers during the game. We’ll have to wait to see how serious the injuries are. I think Sterns will be out with that knee for a while.
