BC is coming off a bye and has had time to think about their loss against the TiCats just 11 days ago. BC also leads the league in offense at 408 yards per game.
The TiCats have won 6 games in a row, 1 win away from totaling their win total from last season. Hamilton should be a bit exhausted as they have back to back short weeks and haven't had a bye in 7 weeks, and play the Riders next week at Mosaic. BC wins and covers in a revenge game against a tired TiCats team.

EDM +4 @ MTL
The Elks have been playing much better since Fajardo became the starter. Edmonton lost to the 2 top teams (SK and HAM) by a combined 7 points the past 2 weeks and have shown improvement on both sides of the ball.
Montreal got smacked around all over the field by the Riders last week and are also missing a bunch of players. MBT is really struggling but maybe playing the Elks D could help. The Als really need their QB1 back. Montreal corrects some things from last week and barely wins but doesn't cover.

Ottawa got a huge win last week but that was at the expense of playing PJ Walker and missing 3 of their 4 starting WRs. Ottawa goes as Dru Brown goes. The RedBlacks still aren't a very good team overall.
The Argos lost to the Bombers 40-31 last week with Strevler throwing for 173 yards, 0 TDs and 3 INTs. Oliveria ran for 50 yards. So what happened? Special teams and defense is what happened. 1 kick and 1 punt return TD, 1 pick six, and 4 FGs. If not for even half of those blunders then the Argos win that game. Argos win and cover.
29-23 Argos

The Bombers were lucky to win last week thanks to special teams and defense. Collaros and Bryant were full participants in practice on Tuesday. Winnipeg could really use Collaros in this game especially as Strevler has been struggling. The Bombers have already lost twice to the Stamps this year by a combined 42 points.
It looks like VA will be playing but will still be short a bunch of WRs. Alford, Jones and Philpot were all limited at practice on Tuesday. Barnes practised in full. This is the Stamps 6th consecutive game without a bye. Pending final injury reports and the status of both QBs I may change my pick closer to the game but for now Calgary wins, Bombers cover.
27-24 Stampeders
TEASER: 7pts

I like a rested BC team who just played Hamilton before their bye, then had time to prepare for Hamilton again in this game, all while the TiCats have played their 7th consecutive game and the last 2 being on the road. Maybe also a possible look ahead spot for the TiCats next week against a battle of the top 2 teams in the league.

Edmonton just may win this game with all of the Als injuries and Fajardo still playing for revenge on his former team. This should be a close low scoring game, so an 11 point cushion is perfect in this spot.
WPG +12
I feel like this line is inflated for the Stamps. The Stamps do have their share of injuries at WR and the Bombers are getting their best OL and QB1 back. I would not be shocked if the Bombers won this game. It is not easy to beat the same team 3 times in a 5 week span (since week 5) and we have a 12 point cushion.
MY POWER RANKINGS:
1)Saskatchewan (1)
2)Hamilton (2)
3)Calgary (3)
4)Montreal (4)
5)Winnipeg (6)
6)BC (7)
7)Toronto (5)
8)Ottawa (9)
9)Edmonton (8)
Good luck!
