I’m an Argo fan but I think it will be a toss-up with the cats.

We’re usually up to our armpits in alligators during those LDC games in Regina. Their fans are nuts, the noise levels are crazy and we fold like a cheap card table more times than not on that day. It’s been that way since the year 2000.

The superior predictor picked the Riders.
Getting a little nervous. Maybe I should have made a jinx pick.

No no you’ve done enough for the cause already IllinoisGuy. The Bombers need to stand on their own two feet for a change. You deserve to have a life of your own. :laughing:

Last year on Labour day the Argos romped to an easy win in Hamilton- they were facing a 3rd string QB as Evans and Shiltz were injured. Same thing this year. Until Saturday I was predicting another blowout - the high powered Argos vs a 3rd string rookie QB. I changed my mind after the Tiger-Cats blew away the Lions. If they can win like that in Vancouver, they can certainly win at home Monday. I thought there would be at least one panel member picking the TiCats. I think there could be an upset Monday afternoon in Hamilton.

Take heart you die hard Cats fan. It’s Labor Day. On that day anything can happen and often the team that wants it more has a really good chance of upsetting the cheese cart. By ‘cheese cart’ I mean ‘the expert’s choice’. :smiley:

Well see how well Butler does

Serious nail biter game in regina. Offensive coordinator takes the blame for bombers loss. Oliveras explosive running would have given them 2 point conversion. Zach had a great game. Riders we need some better secondary protection. Its a lot easier to block a pass if you turn around an look for the ball.

Jamie Nye, the best picker of the writers, was the only one who picked the Riders.

Is that why you are gainfully employed as a. D secondary coach!
