VICKI HALL

Last Week: 3-1; Season: 7-5

Not an easy one to pick with two 1-2 teams in a state of chronic underwhelm. Lots of ink spilled this past week in Winnipeg over the early struggles of Buck Pierce. As for the Argonauts, symptoms of a Grey Cup hangover persist. Go with home-field advantage. Winnipeg.

Turns out the Stamps drew a back-to-back with the Alouettes at the perfect time. Montreal is in disarray on the offensive side and life promises to become even tougher for Anthony Calvillo without the services of starting guards Andrew Woodruff and Scott Flory. Montreal’s defence should keep this one close, but Calgary is just too strong at home. Calgary.

This one promises to turn ugly if Travis Lulay is on his game. Yes, discipline is a problem for the Eskimos, but lack of offence is clearly the major issue for the Green and Gold. The Leos keep rolling. B.C.

The wonky ankle belonging to one Darian Durant is a provincewide obsession this week in the Land of Living Skies. And for good reason. If Durant plays against the Tabbies, the Riders are destined for 4-0. Things get more interesting if Drew Willy the wild card starts for Saskatchewan. Regardless, the Riders are the class of the league for a reason. Saskatchewan.
