Edmonton at REDBLACKS
Sure the Eskimos are undefeated, but they are still pretty injured and the REDBLACKS are are home. Ottawa isn't that bad a team so the West will lose to the East. Maybe.
REDBLACKS 29 Eskimos 26
Toronto at Montreal
A Eastern conference marquee matchup! Ugh. Probably no Ricky Ray and the Alouettes are at home. Tabernac!
Alouettes 24 Argonauts 22
Winnipeg at Hamilton
Can Hamilton win a game? Can they win a game at home? Can they beat a Western team? If this were not at home I would say no, but why not. The Cats aren't bad enough to go winless. A lot of losses sure, but not winless.
Tiger-Cats 28 Blue Bombers 25
BC at Saskatchewan
BC is the better team including last week in Vancouver. The Riders are home and traditionally in the CFL it is hard for teams to win back to back games. So maybe the Riders get lucky.
Roughriders 33 Lions 25

2017 CFL Power Rankings Week 7
1. Calgary Stampeders
Beat the Argos easily on the road. Sure they don't have the best record, but they're the best team.
2. Edmonton Eskimos
Ended up beating the Cats at home but it came down to the last play and the Ticats not having a timeout left. Still winning with a ridiculous number of injuries.
3. BC Lions
Lions kicking ass with Lulay. Sure it was only the Riders, but still they're winning.
4. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Continuing the dominance of the West over the East, a nice victory on the road against the REDBLACKS. Can the Bombers beat a decent West team? Probably not. Cross-over here they come.
5. Ottawa REDBLACKS
Sure their record is abysmal, but they aren't that bad. They'll win sometime. Probably against Hamilton.
6. Saskatchewan Roughriders
The worst of the Western teams. Still better than most of the Eastern teams. Sad.
7. Montreal Alouettes
Didn't play. Had to help with their health so that's something way down the list.
8. Toronto Argonauts
Better than Hamilton against Calgary.
9. Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Shuffling the coaching ranks and still losing although not that bad. When will the Cats win their first game? Who knows.

2017 CFL Predictions Week 7
Calgary at Toronto
The Argos are at home, but let's face it the Stamps are a way better team. The Argos probably won't be as embarrassing as the Ticats last week.
Stampeders 40 Argonauts 32
Winnipeg at Ottawa
Call me crazy, but I think the REDBLACKS bounce back at home and get win.
REDBLACKS 24 Blue Bombers 23
Hamilton at Edmonton
Will the Ticats lose by 59 points again? No. They won't win though.
Eskimos 39 Ticats 19
Saskatchewan at BC
Lions are better and are at home.
Lions 33 Roughriders 29

2017 CFL Power Rankings Week 6
1. Calgary Stampeders
Destroyed Hamilton last week at home. Got to rest some starters in the second half.
2. Edmonton Eskimos
Still undefeated. And Mike Reilly still healthy.
3. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Impressive comeback that only happens in the CFL.
4. BC Lions
Good but not great.
5. Montreal Alouettes
They really should have beat Winnipeg. Great defense.
6. Ottawa REDBLACKS
I'm starting to think the REDBLACKS aren't very good this year after losing to Toronto.
7. Saskatchewan Roughriders
Beat the Argos handily at home. The Riders aren't the bottom of the barrel anymore.
8. Toronto Argonauts
Actually not that bad for the eighth best team.
9. Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Terrible team.

2017 CFL Predictions Week 6
Montreal at Winnipeg
This is one of those games that you figure the home team will win. Montreal did beat Calgary so they are capable of playing well. Winnipeg is Winnipeg so who knows what will happen. I'll pick Winnipeg, but I'm sure they'll disappoint me.
Blue Bombers 29 Alouettes 27
BC at Edmonton
A 4 and 1 team against a 4 and 0 team. Edmonton is at home but BC has Travis Lulay. Edmonton is at home and Mike Reilly is healthy so go Eskimos.
Eskimos 28 Lions 21
Toronto at Saskatchewan
The Riders are at home, but Toronto is coming off a Monday win against the REDBLACKS. Of course this game is Saturday, which is pretty short rest. The Riders will probably get their second win.
Roughriders 23 Argonauts 19
Hamilton at Calgary
Sure the Ticats will get their first win on the road in Calgary. Stranger things have happened in the CFL.
Stampeders 39 Tiger-Cats 28

2017 CFL Power Rankings Week 5
1. Calgary Stampeders
Stomped the Riders in Riderville. Sure they lost once to Montreal, but flukey things happen in the CFL.
2. Edmonton Eskimos
Still undefeated, but they were very close to losing to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, albeit on the road.
3. BC Lions
Ginger Jesus aka Travis Lulay has taken over as quarterback and running wild. He's not that old by CFL quarterback terms and played sparingly last year. Quarterback controversy brewing?
4. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Lost to the Lions on the road. But it was close! And the could have won. Cross-over spot in the Bombers future it looks like
5. Toronto Argonauts
After beating Ottawa at home, one can't argue that the Argos, with Ray, Trestman and Popp are the kings of the East. For whatever that is worth. Picking up almost over the hill players on the cheap like Bear Woods has worked out well.
6. Ottawa REDBLACKS
Their record doesn't indicate it, but they aren't a bad team despite losing to Toronto on the road. They'll probably make the playoffs by the end of the year.
7. Montreal Alouettes
They had a bye week so that's something.
8. Saskatchewan Roughriders
Trounced by Calgary and at home. At this rate the Riders won't be crossing over.
9. Hamilton Tiger-Cats
The team played well against Edmonton, then a player goes down late in the secondary and the Ticats can't stop the Eskimos for driving for a game winning score. Still winless. Sad.

2017 CFL Predictions Week 5
Montreal at Ottawa
A rare Wednesday night game in the CFL. Why? Who knows? Ottawa seems to be able to lose close games with regularity. They are at home though, so that's something. I'm picking Ottawa to get off the schneid in terms of wins. Sure Montreal beat Calgary last week, but I think that was a fluke.
REDBLACKS 27 Alouettes 25
Edmonton at Hamilton
The Ticats played well for a while on Saturday night against BC, then sucked and their secondary got torched yet again. And now they're playing on short rest against an undefeated team and Mike Reilly isn't hurt. That's not good.
Eskimos 35 Tiger-Cats 19
Winnipeg at BC
Will Jennings play after getting hurt? Should he play instead of Travis Lulay? Again who knows. BC wins at home though.
Lions 28 Blue Bombers 23
Saskatchewan at Calgary
Yes the Stamps loss last week, but that doesn't matter. The Riders are still meh, close practices be damned.
Stampeders 39 Roughriders 32
Ottawa at Toronto
Apparently this Monday game is considered week 5 by the CFL. Even though the Argos are sharing a stadium for TFC, couldn't they get a better date? Ottawa is on extremely short rest, so watch them lose a close one to the Argos.
Toronto 21 REDBLACKS 20
