CFL Previews, Week 6, Part 1

Toronto at Montreal
Well this game does not seem like it will bode will for the double blue. Finding a way to lose to a Winnipeg team that used a QB hired mere days before is bizarre, plus Toronto makes a million turnovers. Getting back receiver PK Sam will help down the line, but right now Toronto's offense is poor. Getting back receiver Reggie McNeal into the lineup after a Bart Andrus benching should help a bit too, but really Montreal should steamroller them. Montreal just has too much consistency on offense and the ability of their defence to get to and hurry the QB will keep Toronto below 15 points. Plus they are at home.
Montreal 39, Toronto 14

Saskatchewan at BC
BC lost in Hamilton last week but did have chances to win. Plus their offense put up a decent amount of yards despite not scoring a lot of points. Saskatchewan managed to pull out a last second win at Calgary, which due to a huge number of Rider faithful was almost a neutral site game. BC has picked up JoJuan Armour, cast out from Calgary's training camp for interteam violence, but for BC that intensity is probably a good thing, although Armour is getting a bit crotchety. Apparently non-import middle linebacker Javier Glatt will sit, as I guess the blame for the Cats DeAndra Cobb running rampant on the BC defence fell on him. Saskatchwan should win this one (despite their non-import defensive tackle Scott Schultz retiring to buy and run an insurance business after five games, which is a bit sad), although call me crazy, I'll pick BC. Still don't have huge confidence in Rider QB Durant.
BC 29, Sasky 23
