Friday, August 9

Saskatchewan at Montreal

Despite Saskatchewan’s three game winning streak, they have lost two of their last three away from home. Quarterback Cody Fajardo has been solid, completing 74.6 percent of his passes and throwing for 1,705 yards and seven scores — with four picks. Shaquelle Evans and Kyran Moore have led the receiving game, pulling in five touchdown catches combined and picking up 1,029 receiving yards. William Powell leads the Roughriders with 520 rushing yards, scoring seven times. The Roughriders’ defense permits 24.7 points per game, with Derrick Moncrief leading the team with 36 tackles and Charleston Hughes piling up 10 sacks. Montreal comes in having won two of three at home, thanks to Vernon Adams completing 63 percent of his passes while racking up 1,147 yards and five scores. B.J. Cunningham and Quan Bray have combined to score two touchdowns on receptions, picking up 620 yards, and William Stanback is the top rusher, with 592 yards and four scores on the season. The Alouettes permit 26.8 points per game. Saskatchewan has covered just twice in their last seven games in Montreal, but they have started to play at a new level these past few weeks. Final Score Prediction: Saskatchewan 27, Montreal 20

Ottawa at Edmonton

Ottawa comes in having dropped four of five — but having won two of three on the road. Quarterback Dominique Davis has contributed to the instability, with just four touchdown passes against nine interceptions this season. His two top targets have been Dominique Rhymes and R.J. Harris, with 644 yards and two touchdowns combined between them. John Crockett leads the rushing game but just has 305 yards this season. On defense, Ottawa has permitted 29.9 points per game. Edmonton has a 3-3 record in their last six contests, but they have won all of their home games so far in 2019. Trevor Harris has a 71.1 percent completion rate, picking up 2,304 yards through the air, throwing for 10 scores against just a pair of picks. Ricky Collins and Greg Ellingson have combined for four touchdown receptions and 1,072 receiving yards. C.J. Gable is the top rusher with 475 yards. On defense, Edmonton has permitted just 18 points per game, behind 32 tackles from Larry Dean and six sacks from Mike Moore. Ottawa has covered on the road time and time again for the last three seasons — but Edmonton has won their home games by an average of over 16 points on the season. Final Score Prediction: Edmonton 30, Ottawa 27

Saturday, August 10

British Columbia (+12.5) at Hamilton (O/U 52) (7:00pm ET)

British Columbia could use any sort of positive news to get their season going. Mike Reilly has not helped much in the passing game, picking up just 1,668 yards and six touchdowns — against six picks. On the ground, John White is the top tailback, running for 329 yards and a pair of touchdowns. On defense, the Lions permit 34.4 points per game. Hamilton has a 4-0 record this season but has split their last four games. Jeremiah Masoli has completed 71.4 percent of his passes, with nine touchdown passes and 1,576 passing yards thus far. He also has at least one scoring pass in 17 of his last 20 games. His favorite targets are Brandon Banks and Bralon Addison, who have scored six touchdowns and picked up 920 receiving yards together. The running game has been tough, as Sean Thomas Erlingotn is the leading runner — but with just 224 yards on 33 carries. The Hamilton defense has been decent — and they permit just 19.9 points per game behind 31 tackles from Justin Tuggle. Final Score Prediction: Hamilton 34, BC 17
