CFL Predictions Week Two: Part 2

Hamilton at BC
BC is favoured by a full 13 points last time I checked, so things are not looking good for the Ticats. Hopefully they can learn from Saskatchewan and put some pressure on QB Buck Pierce, who is also rather injury prone. A lot depends on how the Cat front four does this week. If they can get some pressure, hopefully helped out be linebacker and safety blitzes from time to time, then the Cats can keep it reasonably close. BC's offensive line looks weakened after the departure of Rob Murphy to Toronto, so there's a chance. Plus the Lions are missing RB Ian Smart, although the Cats are more likely screwed missing both Caulley and Tre Smith. Have to favour the Lions in this one, but I'll take the Cats to barely beat the spread.
BC 35, Hamilton 23

Saskatchewan at Toronto
A battle of teams coming off season opening victories. Saskatchewan's was probably more impressive, as Hamilton is a less worthy opponent than BC. Saskatchewan has an excellent defence and has proven last year that they can find weird ways to win. I'm taking Saskatchewan, but if Kerry Joseph can have a great game, the Argos have a shot. I don't however think Joseph will have two great games in a row.
Saskatchewan 35, Toronto 29
