CFL WEEK 5 (10-5)

Toronto is the team to beat so far this year, and on their 2nd bye in 5 weeks?!  Edmonton is unbettable until further notice.  This is the Vernon Adams I was scared of and what we seen so far in his 7 year career CFL career (5 years in Montreal, 1 in Sask and 1 in BC), inconsistency.  Masoli is back this week for Ottawa.

All games moneyline:

SASKATCHEWAN:
My green Riders are coming off the bye but not the healthiest.  Wieneke and 2 O linemen are out and 1 is questionable, 2 LBs are out, Micah Johnson and Lauther are questionable (both didn't practise Tuesday).  Edmonton is starting Cornelius.  It all doesn't matter for the Elks and Cornelius stinks, the Riders defense is going to eat.  Riders win this game easy.
31-16 Riders

WINNIPEG:
Winnipeg is back and completely manhandled Montreal on both sides of the ball in Rainy Montreal last week.  Calgary is coming off the bye and fairly healthy.  I don't like Jake Maier going into Winnipeg playing against that defense, but he will have his #1 WR Begelton back from injury at his disposal (he is listed as questionable but practised in full on Wed).  Demski and Bighill are questionable for the Bombers but I still like them to win here.
27-17 Bombers

OTTAWA:
Tough game!  Ottawa is coming off their 1st win of the season against Edmonton and is getting their starting QB Jeremiah Masoli back.  Hamilton is coming off of a much needed bye but they are still a mess on defense and their QB situation is not good with Bo Levi hurt and Shiltz not playing well.  Hamilton does have a good RB in James Butler.  I know this is Masoli's 1st game back in about a year, but I just can't roll with Hamilton.
23-20 RedBlacks

BC:
Just a gut feeling this game is closer than people think.  We don't know BCs injury report at the time of posting but my guess would be Lucky Whitehead is questionable (hopefully he plays).  Sewell is questionable for Montreal.  Can't believe Vernon adams threw 6 INTs and they left him in the game.  Montreal has a stingy defense and Vernon Adams is playing his former team.  BC takes care of business but doesn't cover the -7.
24-18 Lions

Good luck!

MY POWER RANKINGS AFTER WEEK 4:
1)Toronto
2)BC
3)Winnipeg
4)Saskatchewan
5)Montreal
6)Calgary
7)Ottawa
8)Hamilton
9)Edmonton

GREEN = moved up from previous week
RED = moved down from previous week
ORANGE = stayed the same

I forgot to mention that this is the Elks 3rd game in 12 days and the Riders are coming off of a bye week, playing at home!

Changing my Ottawa pick to Hamilton to win.

Hamilton will have their whole O-line intact, Ottawa will be missing 3 DBs and Shaq Evans, this is Masoli's first game back in a year, and Hamilton is coming off the bye.
Hamilton is going to score points in this one. 
30-17 Tiger Cats

Wow - you trust Hamilton with a 3rd stringer at the helm?
