CFL Predictions 2012 Week 8 Part A

Hamilton at Winnipeg
Hamilton is the better team, although there's a lot of injuries including Andy Fantuz. Depending on Simon Giguere to step into his spot? Quite unlikely. Various injuries on the defence. Then the Bombers are starting their third string quarterback Joey Elliot. The Cats are favoured by three on the road and considering how bad the Bombers have been and tossing in a new quarterback into the mix probably won't help.

Montreal at Edmonton
The Eskimos aren't getting a lot of respect considering they are 4 and 2 and they're at home but only 1.5 point favourites. At this point I think oddsmakers are giving Montreal credit for past years when they haven't shown much. That said, the Eskimos and Steven Jyles don't really inspire me, even if he has been playing better the last few games. I'll go with the home crowd here, although I don't feel very confident about it.
