Missed the first game this week. Damn.
Hamilton at Edmonton
The Cats have looked great lately despite injuries to CJ Gable, Bakari Grant and Andy Fantuz among others. However the Ticat defence has been fantastic. Edmonton's defence is also great; their offense without Mike Reilly hasn't been so great and now they are missing their start receiver Adarius Bowman. Normally I would go with the home team here, but Hamilton has been looking so strong lately and has an advantage at quarterback, it is hard to go against them.
Tiger-Cats 28 Eskimos 22
Calgary at Saskatchewan
The Riders aren't a 0-7 team so they have to win eventually. Most likely it will be at home. I just don't think it will be against Calgary this week.
Stampeders 33 Riders 22
Ottawa at Toronto
Toronto just keeps winning with Trevor Harris as their quarterback in the absence of Ricky Ray. I'm not sure the Argos get much of a bounce from Dead Ted's Dome (aka the Rogers Centre), but Ottawa didn't look good last week. Toronto for sure.
Argonauts 29 REDBLACKS 23

Tiger-Cats Lineup Analysis, August 16th Game Versus Calgary
The Cats are back at Mac for the last time. Hopefully.
The Cats are still going with three offensive line imports as they have done for a lot of the season. Olson and Dile are the tackles. O'Neill and import and former tackle Simmons are the guards with Filer in the middle. Is Dyakowski coming back this season? That would certainly help out with the ratio.
Tasker is back at receiver along with non-import Giguere who had over 100 yards in catches last week. Grant, non-import Fantuz and Ellingson are the slots with non-import Prime as the fullback. Madu is in as starter at running back for the injured C.J. Gable which definitely hurts although Hamilton is 1 and 5 with him in. Koch is on the injured list.
The team leader in receiving yards is actually Giguere with 248, followed by Gable with 223 then Tasker with 208. LeFevour leads the team with 272 rushing yards and Gable is next with 138 (which seems pretty low).
LeFevour starts yet again at pivot with Masoli again as backup. That's four Canadian starters on offense without Prime. Potentially it could be five if Prime was in along with Fantuz and Giguere.
On defence, the ends are Tripp and Coleman while in the middle are the standard non-imports Bulcke and Laurent. The linebackers are Lawrence, Reed and Murray. No Bowman this week which is unfortunate.
The corners are Breaux and the non-import Stephen. The half-backs are Stewart and Davis with the non-import Butler in at safety this week. So for defence that's four Canadian starters, which is certainly above average for the CFL. I'm not sure if the Cats consistently have eight Canadians playing all the time since they only need seven. With eight Laurent or Bulcke can't be rotated out with no issue.
Calgary plays with four Canadian offensive linemen, along with Parker as a starting Canadian slotback. Cote is the fullback so with him in that's six Canadian starters on offense. I assume when Cote goes out Sinopoli comes in to maintain the ratio.
On defence, Calgary starts one Canadian, Turner, as a defensive tackle. So that's one Canadian starter on defence versus the Ticats four. The Ticats four on defence is really unusual in the CFL.

Update On Ticats Tim Horton's Field Expected Tomorrow
The Spec has an article up stating that Ontario Sports Solutions and Infrastructure Ontario will give an update at 9:30 tomorrow morning on the stadium. I'm expecting delays to be spelled out as this will be the first update in a while, but who knows.
