Title says it all. 

First up, Calgary at Hamilton, I've got the Stamps over the TiCAts but I think this should be a close one.

I think the stamps are gonna take the cats, and I agree itll be closer than it should. And if it is I could see BLM getting the hook. Idk why they dressed masoli if he wasnt able to start this game. 

You guys have a lot more faith in David Watford than I do. I think the Stamps are going to absolutely paste to Tabbies tonight. This ones over at the half...

I think they keep it slow and put lots of pressure on the Stamps. I just don't see a blowout. 

Of course, that could be because I hope to sit down and watch and hope it's not over at the half.

Fair enough! I think the Cats are wildly overrated and while the Stamps aren't a good team this year, I think they're a lot better than the Cats without a real QB... 

hope for good games.

I dont think watfords gonna be good. I think the stamps will play down to the cats. 

I wish I had time and data to run the numbers on the winning percentage of CFL teams in games where their starter is making their first start.

Whatever it is, I bet it is not great.

Thats a good one. I would bet it'd be high 30s low 40s. But I would bet the 2nd start win rate drops by as much as half. 

The late game...

 

My heart says Argos but my head says Riders.

First game of the year that goes into OT, Riders take it. Just a hunch that will be thrown on the pile of other ‘successful’ hunches I’ve had.

I hadnt thought about that. Pretty crazy that a low scoring season hasnt seen any OT games.

I have no idea how the defense is going to react to everything that happened this week. Hughes will be fired up and so will Judge. But, overall, I expect the Riders offense to score a bunch and for the home crowd to make the difference.

first half stats.

thinking the Stamps also win handily....People over reacted with the Stamps demise...My bet they end up in second

Toronto too I see beating the Riders...they are legitimately banged up, but even with Gainey, Leanord, Edam and Marino in they would most likely lose...I also think Fajardo won't finish, and even suspect he may be a late scratch and backing up

I think its not soo much about the stamps being better than people thought, the west below the bombers is much worse and more open than any one wouldve though. The whole league above ottawa and below the bombers is damn close going into week 7. Any team in that mix could finish any where between the two. Its gonna be a freaking wild finish to the season at this rate. Could make for great ratings. 

My concern with Tor is defensive play call, and consistency at QB. If they didnt have stubler running the D I'd have more faith in them. The riders just got slapped twice back to back in the biggest games of the regular season for them. Any pro team will answer hard after that. 

I think argos riders is gonna be the game of the week. We are gonna crush edm. Ham on their 3rd string qb, and I think montreal is gonna be a mess with out khari calling the plays. This could be a very ugly week in the CFL.

I know it says 'Fresh Slice Pizza" but I keep reading it as "Fresh Lice" so that business is forever dead to me

With all the injury report stuff for the gamblers how about the league mandate a standard depth chart format teams have to release publicly that's actually legible?

Thatd be nice, the injury reports are pretty crappy too. League isnt doing a good job with either. 

ouch, that was a pretty feeble attempt at a lead block by Hamilton #20.  Could've sprung his QB for a first down, there was all kinds of room there.

It's going to take an act of God for the Ti Cats to win tonight either that or a bunch more turnovers
