Picks for the week before we head up north for the weekend.
Redblacks visit the Larks, but the only red and black birds that I know of are Cardinals. Sorry, Alouettes, your own nest will be uncomfortable. Ottawa by 14
If Saskatchewan were in the East, forget about the national psyche; the entire geography of Canada would have to be reordered. Blue Bombers would be very confused about their travel plans. Saskatchewan by 9
Edmonton (team name tbd) will vie for the championship of Alberta at Calgary. Has the controversy over Edmonton's team name had anything to do with their recent slide? Maybe, but the slide will continue. Calgary by 6
Toothless, clawless Tigercats host the unsteady Argonauts. Even powerless pussycats can get what they want by purring and starring in YouTube videos. Not enough, Hamilton. Toronto by by 22

Montreal fights back to send it to overtime, but the Bombers prevail in the extra frame. Once-mighty Edmonton is reeling as they give up 54 points to the Riders. The tide seems to be turning for Ottawa: the spread goes their way in a tough win against the Lions. And in unsurprising news, Calgary remains good.
Watch out argoal! Reever nails the Ottawa game to jump into a tie for first.
Lay down your hammers and pick up your phones - it's time for the Labour Day Classic.
WEEK 11
Ottawa @ Montreal (Thursday, August 31)
Unlucky versus plucky: the pluck stops here. I'm counting on Ottawa's luck continuing to turn around.
Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan (Sunday, September 3)
Saskatchewan's last-place 4-4 record would have them in a tie for first were they in the East. Of course, if Saskatchewan was in the East, entire elements of Canada's national psyche would have to be re-evaluated, starting with the phrase "bunny hugs".
Edmonton @ Calgary (Monday, September 4)
Oof! Edmonton has lost two in a row and has slipped to third place. Fortunately for them, a win this week puts them back up top. Unfortunately for them, that win will have to come against Calgary.
Toronto @ Hamilton (Monday, September 4)
Toronto has been not-great, but Hamilton has been utterly dismal: winless, last in the league in both offence and defence, poor hiring decisions. But it's Labour Day so who knows.
Good luck!
