I discovered today that the former star quarterback from Central Michigan (my alma mater) plays for Hamilton. Hasn't yet appeared in a game, but perhaps that may change as the season goes on.
He was pretty mobile, but his arm left a lot to be desired.

Just back from vacation in the White Mountains in NH. Highlights of the trip were the New England Brewfest - craft breweries from the northeast showing off their wares with lots of samples available - and the Lincoln/North Woodstock Independence Day parade featuring the one and only Wolf Man from Clark's Trading Post. Thrills galore, including a terrific thunderstorm and downpour during the fireworks. All the fun has put me in the right frame of mind to venture my guesses.
Winnipeg at Montreal: Both were beaten pretty badly in their openers, so the question is one of recovery. Montreal is at home, so the nod will go to them. Allouettes by 7
Hamilton at BC: In a cat fight, size does indeed matter. Lions have that advantage over Tiger Cats, so my pick is BC by 14.
Calgary at Toronto: East is east and west is west, but in this case west will prevail. Calgary by 15.
Edmonton at Saskatchewan: Eskimos try to handle the Rough Riders, but they will fail. Sasketchewan by 13.

Hey,
I see that AndiemGarcia left her week two picks in the week one link. Dr J, make sure you take a look for those.

Got 'em. Thanks!

It's western dominance in our first week back! Saskatchewan rides roughshod over the Ti-Cats, and B.C. takes care of business against the Bombers. Edmonton hangs on in Ricky Ray's return, and Calgary stamps all over the Alouettes.
A strong showing by some Pick 'Em veterans with four-point weeks, but everyone's still in the race. Please double-check your picks to make sure I got 'em right!
After all the pomp and ceremony of Week 1, Week 2 seems like your morning trip to Tim Horton's. Except with the risk that your apple fritter will dislocate your shoulder.
WEEK 2
Winnipeg @ Montreal (Friday, July 6)
Both these teams are anxious to get back East and hit the reset button on a miserable first week. Buck Pierce has been practising and may very well play, at least until he gets knocked out again on his fourth snap.
Hamilton @ B.C. (Friday, July 6)
A tough home opener loss followed by the toughest road trip in the league have the spectre of an 0-2 start looming over Hamilton.
Calgary @ Toronto (Saturday, July 7)
Toronto didn't look terrible in their Week 1 loss, but they need to start converting some of their yardage into points. Calgary, on the other hand, had no problem doing so.
Edmonton @ Saskatchewan (Sunday, July 8)
This is a game which also will be played.
Good luck!
