Edmonton at Hamilton,
Edmonton has been on a two game roll, including beating Edmonton at home last week. Hamilton is coming off a home victory against BC. This could end up being a tight game and I have to admit I'm surprised that Edmonton is doing as well as it has. I'm picking Hamilton in this game, despite a bit of homerism, mainly because I have been consistent in saying that Edmonton QB Ricky Ray is considerably overrated. Basically if the Cats can get a little pressure on Ray, that should be enough to disrupt the Edmonton offense. Hopefully the Cats can combine a passing oriented attack with Arland Bruce making a contribution with some nice runs by Cobb and Porter. Otis Floyd and Darrell Adams are still out with injuries, although Hamilton's defence didn't seem to suffer too much last week. Edmonton doesn't have Lumsden, as per usual, although non-import Calvin McCarty is an excellent player.
Hamilton 29, Edmonton 27
Winnipeg at Calgary,
Winnipeg's new QB, Michael Bishop, has actually had some time to prepare, so there may be more of a Winnipeg offense this game. The Bomber defence has been decent, although ballhawk middle linebacker Sideeq Shabazz is apparently injured which is not good. Calgary certainly has the offensive talent to stay with anyone, especially getting lots of chances from a Bomber offense serving up copious amounts of two and outs. Calgary doesnt seem as good as last year, but still takes this one easily.
Calgary 40, Winnipeg 13
