All four of the matchups in Week 6 appear to present simple picks for winners.
Stampeders add water to the sinking ship, Winnipeg’s winning ways over Ottawa, Edmonton navigating the dangerous trip to Montreal and Saskatchewan slamming Mike Reilly often en route to a rough Riders victory.
Three of the games are unanimous among the 3DownNation crew. The only outlier is the Eskimos, Alouettes matchup, one brave man has taken the birds. It’s hard to envision Montreal putting together three consecutive wins – especially with all the off field distractions. But Khari Jones has the team focused and playing sound football.
There is bound to be an upset because it’s the CFL and even when we think the outcome will go one way a curveball gets thrown in. So feel free to chirp when the squad looks stupid for being boring and all on one side.
