Season: 5-1
So the Ti-Cats look awful, Lions look great. Eskimos up there as well whilst the Stampeders finally fell from grace. The Als are slowly improving and the Argo's couldn't hold the lead against the Bombers. Redblacks winless after 4 weeks with 2 games this weekend for them and the Riders coming off a bye. This league is great because there are no absolutely pathetic teams. Its a very close competitive league these days which is just great.
The Redblacks play Wednesday at home against the big hitting Als. Will the Als fall from grace after their amazing win vs the Stamps and will the Redblacks finally get their win?
Thats a big game for both teams as the Als can really start to put some momentum together if they can steal a win in Ottawa. The Redblacks head to Toronto after this game.
Edmonton @ Ti-Cats is a game which is just very hard to cap. The Eskimos haven't been on the road much at all this first 4 weeks (just one game against BC) and now they will head to Hamilton who are trying to find themselves let alone a win. This team used to have Tim Horton's stadium packed to the rafters and home field advantage was huge. Collaros was a beast but now that has all fallen apart since his big knee injury a few seasons back. This line IMHO will be around -6 in favour of the Eskimos but if it is, thats a hard number to lay with the Eskimos on the road against a winless team. Week #6 doesn't get much better for the Cats, they head to Calgary and the Eskimo's will entertain the Lions.
Saturday's game I cannot wait for.. Bombers @ Lions. Love what the Bombers are doing and also love the Lions under Wally's instructions. Great coach, great QB as well and their D has stepped up this season. Coming off a long 3 game road trip, finally get home and hoping to open the account with a win at home after losing Week #1 to the Eskimos in Vancouver. Home favs are 84-32 S/U after coming off a 2+ game road trip. Not a bad stat considering only 57% of home teams win in this league dating back to 2007.
Riders @ Calgary. You gotta feel sorry for the Riders entering Calgary off a loss? But at least the Riders did have a week to prepare with the bye in Week #4. The Als were able to shut down the offense of the Stampeders and the Stampeders D wasn't the best. Apart from the game where they allowed 10 vs the Bombers, the Stampeders D has been pretty poor. Can Glenn get his offense going in Calgary? Never like to go against a juggernaut team in any league especially off a favorite loss..
Final game is the Redblacks again this week in Toronto.. Hard to assess this game until after the Redblacks have played Wednesday night. They might be still looking for their first win..
BOL everyone

Montreal Alouettes @ Ottawa Redblacks: Alouettes +5
Ottawa does not look like a team to me that going to do much this year. I did like what i seen in montreal they have a good defence & there running game looks good also.
