Well the only correct capping I did in last week’s early pick was that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Toronto</st1:City> and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Hamilton</st1:City></st1:place> would in fact play. Pretty much nothing else had any accuracy whatsoever.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
This week:
<o:p> </o:p>
<st1:City w:st="on">Calgary</st1:City> @ <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Winnipeg</st1:place></st1:City>: Always a big fan of home dogs and never a huge fan of the Stamps on the road. They’ve messed around with their defense and have some injuries and have a tendency for cockiness at the best of times. Canadian public loves <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Calgary</st1:place></st1:City> and frowns on this edition of the Bombers. I think Reid gets 150 here and Winnipeg has a shot at the win. As stated elsewhere I am a (nervous) fan of QB Leflors as well and think he'll be a productive CFL QB. I’ll take <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Winnipeg</st1:place></st1:City> with the 5.5 points.

I'm on the other side. Got CAL -5. I think they will be focused after losing at home to MON in a game where they were horrid in the first half. WIN had a horrible offensive game last week and I don't see why they would get much better here. I still think CAL is the best or second best team in the league, and WIN the next to worst. But the thing I like most is that CAL gets a lot of players back this week:


"Take away the leading receiver, two-fifths of the starting offensive line and the first player off the bench and any football team will suffer.
So inserting all those players back into the lineup should have the opposite effect.
The 0-1 Calgary Stampeders should expect a boost Friday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when it appears Ken-Yon Rambo, Jeff Pilon, Jesse Newman and Ryan Thelwell should all get back into action.
"When we watched the film (of the loss to the Alouettes), the biggest comment coach (John Hufnagel) made was the inconsistency," said Thelwell, who dressed but didn't see the field because of his hamstring injury.
"We had a lot of mistakes and a lot of busts. As receivers, we had more than 10 busts in the game and that shouldn't happen.
"Henry (Burris, the quarterback) gets a lot of flak and he shouldn't. There were times when we were not where we were supposed to be, but he's throwing it where we were supposed to be. It's tough on him."
The biggest loss was Rambo, who led the CFL in receiving a year ago.
Rookie Titus Ryan took over, and although the newcomer had a kickoff return touchdown, he also missed six intended passes.
The worst was an interception in the endzone Ryan bailed on because he thought it was meant for someone else."

Thanks for the input Scott.
The line is creeping to 7- can add a little juice at Pinnacle to get there right now. Probably hit 7 easily by game time. Adding another unit on the Bombers with 7
