This game for Edmonton is sandwiched between three games vs their Alberta rivals and defending champions the Calgary Stampeders. Hamilton owns the Eskies ATS, covering 9 of last 10 meetings. Hamilton was 3-15 overall and winless against western conference teams last season but lost two meetings vs Edmonton by only 5 and 6 pts. They had only 3 wins in 2007 as well and one of them was against Edmonton while they lost the other meeting by only 2 pts. In 2006 they had 4 wins, 2 of them against Edmonton. In 2005 they had 5 wins, one of them against Edmonton while losing the other meeting by 6. Simply put, they have the Eskimos' number.
Toronto +7
Toronto lost a wild one last time out after leading the entire game against BC. That was their 9th straight home loss. The bye week can only help a team that is as desperate as Toronto. They are 2-5 but stil trailing the 2nd placed Hamilton team by only 2 games. They played much better with Cody Pickett last time out. Calgary in same situation as Edmonton this week. Lesser opponent (on paper) in between 3 games against the Alberta rival franchise. Very dangerous spot.
