Monday
Toronto Argonauts at Hamilton Tiger Cats (-4, 50)
The Argonauts come to Hamilton to avenge the loss they took from the Tiger Cats in Toronto. Under Jim Barker, the Argos are a far different team from last year. But are they as improved as the Tiger Cats, who have been gaining respect over the last few years to finally give their fans a team they can be truly proud of?
Ball carrier Cory Boyd, for the Argos, has been sensational since the start of the season but probably had his worst game of the year in the 16-12 loss to Hamilton. The Tiger Cats are riding a three-win streak. Despite all the hype surrounding the progress of Argos QB Cleo Lemon, we still doubt his true value as a consistent starter in the CFL.
It’s not the case for his counterpart Kevin Glenn of the Tiger Cats, who is now third in passing in the CFL. His success is linked with the resurrection of the Tiger Cats, who could, with another win against Toronto, claim the season’s series and maybe even a share of first place in the East providing the Alouettes stumble against the Lions.
Pick: Hamilton
Edmonton Eskimos at Calgary Stampeders (-12.5, 54)
Eskimos head coach Richie Hall vows there’s no QB controversy in Edmonton despite the fact he pulled Ricky Ray to bring in young Jared Zabransky in a game where his team stole a surprising win against the mighty Roughriders. Don’t hold your breath. Ray is still No. 1 on the Eskimos depth chart.
Mind you, the Eskimos have other worries starting with the health of kick returner Kelly Campbell, who has been seen in crutches earlier this week at practice. Defensive back Saleem Borhot also looks injured. Those ailments are bad news for a team that was slaughtered 56-16 by these Stampeders two weeks ago - a humiliation that ended in a brawl that got five players fined by the commissioner.
The Stampeders look like they’re back on track and the return of Ken-Yon Rambo, who gained 108 yards last week against the Lions, only makes them more dangerous. Calgary is off to its best start since 1996. Some will say that anything can happen in the Battle of Alberta, but unless the Stampeders players invent ways to lose, it’s tough to imagine the Eskimos pulling off another upset this week.
Pick: Calgary
