Edmonton Eskimos at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (pick, 48)
Winnipeg will be without starting quarterback Buck Pierce (sprained knee) and will need to rely on Steven Jyles, who was somewhat effective in Friday’s lost to Hamilton (9-for-13 for 95 yards and a touchdown).
New Bombers head coach Paul LaPolice told the media that the Eskimos are “the best 0-3 team” he has seen in a long time. The Eskimos just can’t afford to leave Winnipeg with another loss and, with the return of standout DT Dario Romero giving the defense a boost against an inexperienced QB, they shouldn’t.
Pick: Edmonton
Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders (-1, 56)
After three weeks of activities, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are on top of the CFL with a perfect 3-0 record. However, none of those wins were pretty - starting with the opening-day shootout against the Alouettes to Week 3's ugly 24-20 win against the Eskimos.
The Stampeders look to rebound from their first loss of the season at the hands of the Argonauts in Toronto. With a win, the Stamps would join the Riders in first place of the West Division. They have all the tools to win this one at home and should take advantage of a Riders defensive squad that has been far too generous.
These two teams met twice in Calgary last season and went down to the wire both times. The Roughriders won 24-23 on August 1 and the teams played to a 44-44 overtime draw on October 17.
Pick: Calgary
