Week 9 Predictions/UFC-Vancouver

A 1-1 week last week has me at 19-13. Just two more games again this weekend.

CALGARY AT TORONTO

The Stamps are 3-4. Offensively, they have been getting it done averaging just over 34 points a game. Defensively, they haven't been getting it done--at least not when it comes to stopping the run. If Toronto is going to win this one, it will have to be a steady diet of Jamal Robertson. The problem is Toronto will have to abandon its running game because they will likely fall behind early. I don't see this one being much of a contest. Take the Stampeders by at least two TD's.

HAMILTON AT EDMONTON

Two good 4-3 teams meet at Commonwealth. There's not a lot separating these two teams. Whoever makes the big play in the final quarter will win it. That's what happened in Hamilton when DeAndra Cobb had a huge run in the game's final moments setting up the game winning touchdown. The same script could be written here. I take the Eskimos, but just because they are the home team.

Good news for UFC fans in Western Canada. UFC grand poobah Dana White says it looks like they are likely headed to Vancouver for a card in June 2010 with GSP being one of the headliners. The whole story is here courtesy the Globe's Matt Sekeres. Note there is a Saskatchewan mention in here.....
