Canadian Bacon: Week 6 Analysis and predictions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Montreal Alouettes (-6, 60)

The two finalists of last year’s Grey Cup are in fine form again this season. These two teams gave us a wild and crazy game to kick things off in Regina, a game that was finally won in double-overtime by the Riders.

“This is no revenge match, it’s the sixth game on the calendar,” Montreal safety Etienne Boulay says. But defensive tackle Eric Wilson admitted that July 1 defeat was a “slap in the face”.

These two teams share the lead in the overall CFL standings with identical records of 4-1 and hold winning marks against the number (3-2).

Three of the four players of the month in the CFL will be on the field for this one: receiver Andy Fantuz for the Riders (Canadian Player) as well as Alouettes QB Anthony Calvillo (Offensive Player) and DE John Bowman (Defensive Player). All is in place for a great game. But this time around, you can bet on the Alouettes to win.

Pick: Montreal


Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Eskimos (-5.5, 51.5)

Andre Talbot’s game-winning pass last week came at a perfect time. It secured the Eskimos their first win of the season and built some momentum going into this week’s contest against Toronto.

Talbot, a former Argo, isn’t the only Edmonton player looking forward to playing Toronto. The Eskimos seem to have rallied behind head coach Richie Hall following the dismissal of GM Danny Maciocia. Team president Rick Leand said that everyone in the organization would be evaluated on a weekly basis from now on.

The Argos’ weaknesses were exposed in Montreal after a 41-10 loss. Jim Barker can insult the media as much as he likes and reiterate his faith in QB Cleo Lemon, but the truth is the former Dolphin looks overmatched.

On the other side, with Ricky Ray, who gained 360 yards passing in his last game, Edmonton does have a QB who can change the pace of a game. And you have to think the Eskimos have a blueprint of stopping Argo running back Cory Boyd thanks to the Alouettes.

Pick: Edmonton




Saturday

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-3, 54)

Many thought these were the two teams that’d be fighting for second place in the East. But here we are heading into Week 6 and both the two sides are on the wrong side of .500.

Hamilton is capable of much better as long as its key players stop shooting themselves in the foot. Its receivers’ drops are turning into interceptions and the team can’t cash in on its own turnover chances.

Steven Jyles will likely get another start for the Bombers in the absence of Buck Pierce, who’s still nagged by a knee injury. Jyles isn’t bad but he’s doesn’t have Piece’s tools.

Meanwhile, Kevin Glenn has been on fire lately and he seems to know how to get the best of another former Bomber, Arland Bruce III, who caught 16 passes for 272 yards last week.

Pick: Hamilton


Calgary Stampeders at British Columbia Lions (+2.5, 48.5)

The psychological warfare started this week on Twitter between these two teams when Stamps wideout Nik Lewis suggested that Lion defenders hit too often below the knees. He also nagged slotback Geroy Simon saying that Simon will probably need make-up to cover up his anxieties.

Lions DB Korey Banks didn’t need the new technologies to react in front of the media: “Nik Lewis is an idiot. I ain’t afraid of saying it.”

Kid stuff, no doubt about it, but we’ll see what this brings on the field.

The Lions defense can create havoc. Davis Sanchez, a former Alouette, is probably playing the best football of his career. Kerone Williams, another former Montreal player, is also picking back from his glory days.

Offensively, the Lions’ attack has been without timid Casey Printers. Last week, B.C. produced nine points and generated only six plays of 10 yards or more.

Pick: Calgary
