Week 4 CFL Picks

A 4-0 week in Week 3 means I'm 8-4 on the season. It may be a little tougher to get the clean sweep two straight weeks, but here goes

HAMILTON AT MONTREAL

The Ti-Cats are a better football team--at least they appear to be. They are over 500 for the first time in years sitting at 2-1. However, they still have a long ways to go to compete with the Alouettes---especially in Montreal. The Alouettes go in averaging almost 45 points a game. I don't know if they get 45 or not, but they will easily beat the Tabbies

TORONTO AT WINNIPEG

Two teams that are 1-2 meet at Canad Inns Stadium. I'm still not sure how to gauge these two teams, but I do think Toronto has a better team than Winnipeg. Are they good enough to beat the Bombers at home though??? The Argos have had their lunch handed to them two straight weeks by Western Division opponents and now Bart Andrus has told Arland Bruce to stay home because he isn't acting like a professional. Perhaps a Bruce-Derick Armstrong trade should be made. I think this comes down to the running game and who can have the better night--Jamal Robertson or Fred Reid. I take Robertson thus I take the Argos to win by less than 10.

CALGARY AT B.C.

Another battle of 1-2 teams goes under the Dome at B.C. Place. Did the Stampeders get their act together against the Argos or do they still have some work to do? Did the Lions get their act together against the Eskimos or do they still have some work to do? This will be the best game of the week and it should be a high scoring tilt. I'm going to take the Lions.

EDMONTON AT SASKATCHEWAN

The Eskimos have been beaten and beaten badly the past two weeks. It even got to the point where Edmonton fans booed Ricky Ray off the Commonwealth turf last week. Thoughts of Edmonton being improved in 09 have disappeared for the time being as this team struggles both offensively and defensively. The Riders are coming off that blowout loss to Montreal, but they know they are a better football team than what they showed last Saturday. Edmonton never plays well in Regina. One piece of advice for Richie Hall---enjoy the 89 reunion festivities, because the game won't be enjoyable. I take the Riders to win this one and perhaps win it big.
