Hamilton logs a big fourth quarter to shock the Montreal faithful. B.C. hangs tough in the rain to beat the Redblacks in Ottawa, while the Bombers complete the comeback against Calgary.

It's the earliest Labour Day Classic in league history!

WEEK 5

Montreal @ Ottawa (Friday, September 3)
A lot of things about this season are different, but one constant: three teams in the East having losing records. Here are two of them.

Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan (Sunday, September 5)
Speaking of records, the Roughriders are the last undefeated team standing. But Winnipeg's no patsy and can grab top spot with a win.

Toronto @ Hamilton (Monday, September 6)
The Argos have tasted early success, but are they for real? And Hamilton has struggled, but will it last? Add the Hamilton home edge and I call this a coin flip.

Edmonton @ Calgary (Monday, September 6)
Who had "Calgary in the basement" on their bingo cards? But with a point differential of only -5, I don't think it'll last.

Good luck!

Ottawa by 3 In checkers you get either red or black, not both. Ottawa wants to have both, and in this game they do.

Saskatchewan by 11 Goin' with the homies here, and I think the 'Riders have enough anti-aircraft equipment to withstand a Blue Bomber attack.

Hamilton by 8 Argos think they can have a ham sandwich, but they break their teeth on a hambone.

Calgary by 6 The BPOE got an undeserved week off, but they will still succumb to the Stampeders.

Sorry for the double post. This here hand-held TV/typewriter thingy does some strange things.

I couldn't figure out why a guy named Mark had possession of a holiday weekend in Canada.

Montreal by 9. No Abdul Kenneh means no joy in Ottawa.

Winnipeg by 7

Hamilton by 4. I will always get this team confused with the ThunderCats.
