Day before the PreSeason begins... it's time to start playing with live ammo and getting some opinions registered for the official record!
 
If you don't make your own prognostications, you won't be taken seriously when you mock someone else's...
 
You will choose:
 
East Standings (win/loss record optional but encouraged)
West Standings (win/loss record optional but encouraged)
 
Grey Cup Teams and Winner
 
Most Outstanding Player
Most Outstanding Canadian
Most Outstanding Defensive Player
Most Outstanding Special Teams Player
Most Outstanding Rookie
Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman
 
Let's do this!
 

Anyone feel like making some 2012 season predictions? I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what could go down.

Toronto 12-6

Montreal 9-9

Hamilton 7-11

Winnipeg 7-11

 

West Standings

 

BC 12-6

Saskatchewan 10-8

Calgary 9-9

Most Outstanding Player: Rick Ray
Most Outstanding Canadian: Andre Durie
Most Outstanding Defensive Player: Adam Bighill
Most Outstanding Special Teams Player: Larry Taylor
Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman: Jovan Olafioye

if people want to revise things after the pre season that is cool but may as well toss out a prediction in the meantime.

East: Tor, Mtl, Wpg, Ham

West: BC, Cal, Skn, Edm

 

Most Outstanding:

 

Player: Lulay

Canuck: Cornish

Defense: Sherritt

Special Teams: Owens

Lineman: Olafioye

Rookie: No Idea!

so who do you like in the GC, TBurg?

East Standings

 

Toronto  11-7

Montreal  9-9

Hamilton  9-9

Winnipeg  5-13

 

West Standings

 

BC  12-6

Saskatchewan  10-7-1**

Calgary  9-8-1**

Edmonton  6-12

 

Calgary and Saskatchewan will tie 43-43 on August 9th. 
 
Grey Cup Teams and Winner

 

BC 31  Toronto 21
 
Most Outstanding Player  Ricky Ray
Most Outstanding Canadian  Shawn Gore
Most Outstanding Defensive Player   Adam Bighill
Most Outstanding Special Teams Player  Tim Brown
Most Outstanding Rookie  Marty Markett
Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman  Jovon Olafioye

The East honestly looks terrible to me this year. Hamilton/Winnipeg and Montreal get wins based off of the fact they play each other abunch and someone has to win those games.


 

East Standings 

Toronto: 10-8

Montreal: 9-9
Hamilton: 7-11

Winnipeg: 6-12

West Standings 

BC: 13-5

Calgary: 11-7

Saskatchewan: 9-9

Edmonton: 7-11

Grey Cup Teams and Winner

BC 35 Toronto 24

Most Outstanding Player: Travis Lulay over Ricky Ray
Most Outstanding Canadian: Henoc Muamba over Andrew Haaris(homer pick) 
Most Outstanding Defensive Player: Adam Bighill over Henoc Muamba 
Most Outstanding Special Teams Player: Chad Owens over Rene Paredes 
Most Outstanding Rookie: Honestly no clue, all of the big contributors from the Canadian draft aren't in Camp, and picking imports is a crapshoot when we can't even see the pre season games.
Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman: Jovan Olafioye over Josh Bourke 
 

I'll make my prediction after the 2nd week of pre season games before the start of the regular season. 

Montreal 10 - 7 - 1

Toronto 10 - 8

Hamilton 9 - 9

Winnipeg 4 - 14

 

BC 13 - 5

Cal 11 - 7

Suks 8 - 10

Esks 3 - 15

so who do you like in the GC, TBurg?

Way too much football to be played to be talking about the GC IMHO.  Some teams will play better than I expect.  Some will play worse.  Injuries will take their toll and not in an even way across all teams.  Who knows how Montreal will react to a new HC or if AC finally shows his age.  As it stands right now, not having seen any teams play this year, I'd take a wild guess at a Tor - BC Cup.

Montreal 10 - 7 - 1

Toronto 10 - 8

Hamilton 9 - 9

Winnipeg 4 - 14

 

BC 13 - 5

Cal 11 - 7

Suks 8 - 10

Esks 3 - 15

 

I always get a kick out of predictions like this.

 

68-75-1

 

Did I miss some kind of announcement about teams having games against Arena league teams this year?

It's preseason Mike.......still honing my skills......I thought it was pretty funny.
