To make your picks, just post a reply to this thread with your predicted winners for these games. Picks must be made prior to a game's scheduled kickoff time in order to be accepted for that game. Remember to make your picks clear at a glance. You can view a more complete listing of the rules at
My picks:
BC over Toronto: The Lions are the Grey Cup champs, and will serve notice to the league that they are intent on repeating. Lions by 10.
Edmonton over Winnipeg: Edmonton needs to come out strong to prove to themselves and their fans that last year was a fluke. Home field advantage will be the difference. Esks by a field goal.
Montreal over Saskatchewan: I'm not sold on Kent Austin as a coach. Certainly not enough so for him to come out of Molson Stadium with a win in his first game. Als by 12.
Calgary over Hamilton: I have a feeling this game will be closer than most people are expecting. The two teams split games last year, and an improved Cats team could mean a good game. Stamps by 2.
