Okay, I'll go out on a limb here and make my predictions for week five:

Edmonton over Winnipeg (with the Bombers going 0 and 5 - sorry boys)
Montreal over Toronto (Montreal will come back over their Eastern rivals)
Saskacthewan over Hamilton (no 2 losses in a row for Rider Pride)
Calgary over BC (I actually sort of doubt it but have to go with my team)

Good choices and since my team has lost the last 2 games, Calgary could win but I doubt it as well SL.

I would like to see Winnipeg win & why not against EE.

18 appearances Montreal Alouettes 7 wins 11 loses 38.9% winning record
18 appearances Regina / Saskatchewan Roughriders 3 wins 15 loses 16.7%

as in a tie Ottawa/BC with winning record, appearances will be used.



In my personal opinion to balance out the league (5 western & 5 eastern) after 2014 a team should be look at either Quebec City or in Maritimes. just a thought


Great stats GordonH
Plus bring back Ottawa!

If you look at second stat from the top, then look to the right in the brackets.

Wow! As they say - sometimes Majors are won, sometimes Majors are lost. This one was both won and lost.
Congratulations to Ernie Els. Great comeback and a Major winner once again
I feel the pain for Adam Scott. Still no Major win. Bad pothole bunker, bad.

Now back to our regularly tuned discussion of all things CFL, and ... later :sunshine:

I heard that they are having problems in Ottawa with the stadium? I think they are renovation old Frank Clare? Funny thing, I have heard since I was a kid that the CFL was looking at the Maritimes. They were going to call them the Schooners. That's a lot of years.

Yes, I couldn't be happier to be wrong about my first pick.

I'd go with those picks too - but then, I was 0 and 4 in my last attempt :127:

ah, the good ol' CFL - where anything can (and does) happen.
