The Tiger-Cats barely snuck away with a win against the RedBlacks after a rain/storm delay and the Argos wiped the the seas with my Green Riders. The Elks are a complete embarrassment to to the city of Edmonton and the CFL and got shutout for a 2nd time in the span of 42 days to the same team (BC), breaking the North American record for most consecutive home losses with 21. Coincidentally, the Elks last home win was against BC way back in Oct/2019. Thankfully they can't lose this week. And to end off the week we had a field goal fest of the ages between Calgary and Montreal! 12 field goals combined, 43 total points scored in the game with 36 points coming via field goal. Wow.
All picks moneyline:
WINNIPEG
The Bombers got embarrassed by the Lions back in week 3 by a score of 30-6. There are a couple of different things about this game then the game they played in week 3. The Bombers are coming off a bye and teams off the bye are 8-1 this year and you have to believe they haven't forgotten the beating they took in week 3 on their home turf where they rarely lose. Winnipeg will want to make a statement and defend IG Field with revenge on their mind. BC also doesn't have their starting QB (but he is 'available'), but a very serviceable backup in Dane Evans. Winnipeg also didn't have Kenny Lawler back in week 3, but he's back now and is playing like his career is on the line. Just this week he said his goal is 2,000 receiving yards this year and he missed the 1st 6 games. I believe the Bombers will correct their O line issues and be much better this week at protecting Collaros. That is still a great O line. Winnipeg will be hungry this game.
27-17 Bombers
TORONTO
The Argos flexed their muscles in Touchdown Atlantic against the Riders. They got up 21-0 quick, but after that their offense sputtered and couldn't do anything but their defense and special teams lifted up the poor play of the offense. That is a sign of a great team. The Stamps on the other hand can put up a ton of yards but can't find the end zone (last week) nor finish off and win games. The Stamps are getting their top defender Tre Roberson back from injury which will help them but they need all of the help they can get. I won't be betting against Toronto until they prove to me otherwise, they are cruising through everyone so far. It sucks that the Argos only play the Bombers once this year. Argos offense will come to play after the poor showing last week. CRAZY STAT: BC has only allowed 94 points this year in 7 games, and 45 of those points came against the Argos!
34-17 Argos
MONTREAL
If Bo Levi didn't get injured on the 2nd last play of the game while kneeling the ball then I'd be on Hamilton this game. But with Taylor Powell starting give me the Alouettes. Such a silly and unnecessary injury. The Alouettes have a great defense as we seen holding Calgary to 6 field goals and no TDs last week. Hamilton played good D against Crum last week but it was a sloppy game with the weather elements. Montreal will pound Stanbeck, and Fajardo and Mack are forming some great chemistry with each other. Montreal plays better defense then Hamilton and has a more higher powered offense with their starting QB, whereas the Ti-Cats are playing their 3rd string QB. Hamilton also has a pretty lengthy injury report. If I end up betting this game then it'll be a small degen bet with the 3 other games this week.
25-20 Alouettes
