Gosh, I very much dislike Montreal, & Calgary at the moment... why did I pick them in weeks 1/2?! sigh
As well, why are the 'Riders doing really good so far?!
Oh well, so are the Bombers, plus there's plenty of weeks left for me to get closer to spot #1. It's all good.
Anyway-
Keep up the good work, Dave, and here are my picks for week three... :thup:
Calgary @ Toronto -I'll go with the Argos for now... They're @ home, too. Plus, Calgary was absolutely BRUTAL against Sask.
Edmonton @ Winnipeg -Gotta go with my boys. FNF on TSN, it's a home game for the Bombers. Milt's gonna be pumped & so is the rest of the team... fans especially! All in all, a no-brainer.
B.C. @ Saskatchewan -I picked against them in week one/two, now I'm going with them. At home also helps this choice for sure.
Montreal @ Hamilton -Montreal isn't starting the season off with a 0-3 record.
Toronto - They're looking pretty good, and Calgary isn't. Plus they're at home
Winnipeg - Home field will make the difference this time.
Sask - Can't believe how good they're looking. BC is dangerous, but I'll give the 'Riders home field advantage.
Montreal - I may yet change this one. Neither team has looked very good, but Hamilton has looked worse. Hamilton could be ornery, though, and the fact that they're at home gives them a chance.
Toronto because of Bishop
Winnipeg because of the "Milt" factor
B.C. because I can't imagine Riders going 3 and 0, even if I like Kerry Joseph, Jason Armstead and all the other ex-Renegades.
Montreal because they will get better but Hamilton will still be Hamilton (Sorry Big Dave)
Week 3 picks, with a couple toughie games in here..
Toronto over Calgary Winnipeg over Edmonton B.C. over Saskatchewan, but it will be a close one Montréal over Hamilton; if that one ends in a tie, I'll laugh my ass off.
Calgary @ Toronto - Can't pick Calgary after how horrible they looked in Regina last week.
Edmonton @ Winnipeg - Big Blue are at home and will defeat the Esks.
B.C. @ Saskatchewan - Time to hop on the gang green band wagon. Montreal @ Hamilton - Montreal is bad, Hamilton is horrible. I'll go with bad over horrible.
sweet zombie jesus, no way am I going to match my record last year.
Calgary @ Toronto = Toronto
Edmonton @ Winnipeg = Edmonton
B.C. @ Saskatchewan = Sask
Montreal @ Hamilton = Mont
Calgary @ Toronto: The Stamps are way better than they played last week. Toronto's win had more to do with their opponent than anything they did. Stamps by 8.
Edmonton @ Winnipeg: The Bombers are better than most people expected so far. I'm still not convinced that the Esks are that much better than they were last year. Bombers by 2.
B.C. @ Saskatchewan: My two incorrect picks have been both Saskatchewan games. The Riders may surprise a lot of people, but it's hard to believe that they are at the level of the Grey Cup Champs. Lions by 6.
Montreal @ Hamilton: The 0-2 Als have been waiting for this game all season, and rightfully so. If anyone can bust them out of their losing streak, it's the Cats. Hamilton won't win until they start throwing the ball downfield, and by the sound of it that won't be anytime soon. Als by 20.
Calgary @ Toronto: Same winner but for different reasons. The Stampeder Special Teams who looked like a Pop Warner version on Sunday will have a break out game and the Offense will click. Toronto will have a field day with the Stamp D though so it will be close. Stamps by 5
Edmonton @ Winnipeg: Winnipeg's D is downright scary, but RR and his receivers find a way to get enough yards, and Ebell scores a couple. The Winnipeg O gets Milt his record, but cannot sustain drives to match Edmonton. Edmonton by 3
BC @ Saskatchewan: The Green Riders are higher than a Tofino ceramic artist. All facets of their game are working, and Austin has their mental edge able to split atoms. BC is going to be a tough opponent, but Dave will be rattled early and Buck won't match KJ point for point. Sask by 8
Montreal @ Hamilton: Chang will get better every game as will the whole Tabby crew, but Calvillo finds a groove and Montreal takes a solid grasp of 7th place by the 0:00 point of the 4th Quarter. Montreal by 6
