CFL WEEK 5: 11-5 ATS / 12-4 ML / 7-1 TEASERS

I should have just kept all my picks the same and I would have had a perfect week! 

Let the QB carousel continue.

WPG -3.5 @ CAL

The Bombers are getting Oliviera back and are looking pretty healthy. Winnipeg has looked impressive in all 3 wins including 1 without Collaros and 2 without Oliveira. It's hard to pick against them against the Stamps, but I think this will be a closer game than most people think.

Calgary is coming off a bye and usually plays well in this spot at home against Winnipeg and the Calgary Stampede is starting tomorrow with this game being the Stampede Bowl. Calgary has a potent offense but their defense will be their downfall in this game. Should be a fun game to watch and a high scoring one at that. VA still hasn't thrown a TD pass!

32-27 Bombers

HAM +1 @ TOR

Did Hamilton and Toronto both blow their load last week? The Ti-Cats looked great against the Als but let's not forget who was playing QB for Montreal and how desperate Hamilton was for a win coming off their bye. Hamilton is going into this game pretty healthy.

The Argos gave it their all last week after Dinwiddie tore into them after the Rider game. But just take a look at their injury report and see why I love Hamilton to win this game. 2 OL, 3 LBs (including McManis), both their RBs, QB, and 1 DL all announced OUT. And the Argos are also on a short week playing Sunday night.

29-19 Ti-Cats

BC @ MTL

BC has underwhelmed this year but I think they will start to come around especially when Rourke is healthy. I expect more out of BC. We still don't know who is playing QB for either team. I don't think Pierce is a good fit as a head coach, he's better off as an offensive coordinator but it is only week 5 so let's see. Betts is also questionable.

Montreal's offense sputtered hard without Alexander last week. I do expect a bounceback performance from the Als after getting spanked by Hamilton. If Alexander plays and Rourke is out then Montreal wins and covers. If Rourke plays and Alexander is out then BC wins and covers. If both play then Montreal wins, BC covers. I will update my pick for this game closer to kickoff.

OTT @ EDM +2

Ottawa really needs Dru Brown back, he did take first team reps but still is questionable and how healthy will he really be if he plays? Ottawa has a dominant DL and weak secondary, something that should fall right into the Elks hands. With Ford running circles around the DL it will make Ottawa's rush non-existent and Ford should be able to pick apart the RedBlacks secondary extending plays and finding his WRs.

Edmonton played the Bombers tight for 3 quarters last week and was actually tied with Winnipeg going into the 4th quarter. The Elks have improved every week. Desperation mode sets in for the Elks as they get their first win of the season.

27-20 Elks

TEASER: 7pts

WPG +3.5

Bombers SHOULD win this game and we have a 3 pt cushion just incase

HAM +8

Argos on a short week with a boatload of injuries and an 8 pt cushion? Sign me up!

EDM +9

I like the Elks to win this game especially if Dru Brown is out and we have a 9 pt cushion

MY POWER RANKINGS:

1)Saskatchewan (2)

2)Winnipeg (3)

3)Montreal (1)

4)Calgary (4)

5)Hamilton (7)

6)BC (6)

7)Toronto (9)

8)Ottawa (5)

9)Edmonton (8)

SK moves to #1 after showing another way they can win a game: without their QB1

WPG moves up one spot to #2 after another impressive win missing their RB1

MTL drops to #3 after getting crushed by the winless Ti-Cats, be it without their QB1

CAL stays put at #4 coming off a bye

HAM jumps up two spots to #5 after a convincing win in Montreal

BC doesn't move from #6 spot, they are better then they are playing and will end up better then HAM come end of year

TOR moves up two spots from the grave to claim #7 after a huge win

OTT drops three spots to #8 after losing a very winnable game

EDM drops down one spot to #9 in the basement, only winless team in the league

Good luck!

Rourke is in, Alexander is out

BC wins and covers +3

Also adding a 7 pt teaser on BC +10

Good luck
