Hamilton @ B.C. - Sure Hammy has won 3 straight, but look who they beat? I like BC's defense and they're 4-0 at home. Lions
Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan - Weird stats, in 2011 the Bombers were 7-1, the Riders were 1-7 and who destroyed who in both games? :o I know that all the matchups and analysis can be thrown out the window because it's labour day, but I gotta be nuts not to take Saskatchewan in this one.
Edmonton @ Calgary - Edmonton is very tempting here. Verrry tempting, but no. Gimme the horsies.
Montreal @ Toronto - Another tough pick. The absence of Ricky Ray wasn't a problem against BC, so I'm hoping it still won't be a problem against Montreal.
Saskatchewan vs Winnipeg; Saskatchewan - there is a REAL danger here to relax against a struggling team and I think there is a strong possibility the Riders will lose one of these games, but I gotta go with the better team. This is Saskatchewan's game to lose.
Hamilton vs BC; BC - This is a coin toss for me and truthfully could go either way. BC has been "good" at home, so I'm going home team on this one. Should be a close game.
Edmonton vs Calgary; Calgary - Just about the same comments as Sask vs Winterpeg, but the Eskies are getting closer to being a "good" team. I'm pretty sure we lose one of these home and home games, but I don't think it will be at our home. This is Calgary's game to lose
Montreal vs Toronto; Montreal - I may change this IF Ricky Ray is able to play, but without Ricky Ray, I think the two teams are much more even and the win in BC gave Montreal something they don't seem to have had all season ... HOPE! This will be a close game and could go either way. It's a 50 - 50 gamble in my mind this week.
Fellow VGCC Competitors - I love seeing your thoughts on why you picked the teams you picked. To me that is part of the fun of this game.
Hamilton.... The Ti-Cats seem to be getting stronger each game they play. Never thought I'd be going against my own team. I do hope I am wrong on this one! :rockin:
SSK... a no brainer in my opinion.
ESKIMOS.... I can see the Eskies pulling this one off unless Reilly makes another bonehead interception in the end zone.
Hamilton @ B.C. - this game is just not right! Anyway, I will give the Cats props if they win this one, but a 3-game win streak when you got the Bombers twice doesn't tell a whole lot about a team. I think BC wins big.
Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan - Riders in a laugher! Unless is the Saskatchewan Huskies that come, then I say Sask. in a squeaker..... Edmonton @ Calgary - this Reilly kid is a freaking machine. Its going to break for him sooner than later!
Montreal @ Toronto - T.O. could beat anyone any given week.
Hamilton @ B.C.
Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan
Edmonton @ Calgary
Montreal @ Toronto <--- will pick this one over the weekend when we find out who is likely to start at QB for each team
