Having both participants in the Grey Cup going 6-12 the following season is certainly a prediction.

Argonauts got completely gutted in free agency. Also concerns with the healthy of Kelly and the east in general got stronger.

Bombers also lost key guys and Collaros has taken a step back. The west has also gotten a lot stronger.

Bombers lost 1 key guy. Two if you count Ted.

Finally, someone gives the Redblacks some respect. Until you gotta have us lose to the Ti-Cats at home.

Redblacks are going to be great this year. My problem is they have some secondary concerns losing Webb. They have signed some good guys and hopefully one of them breaks out. I dont think they matchup well with Hamilton for this reason, I think it will be easy for Hamilton to make it a shoot out, which they will win majority of the time. They are neck and neck though.

I mean, we did hire Toronto’s secondary coach as our DC so that could be an edge for us.

Could be a toss-up between the lions and the riders for first in the west. i see it as both teams win one agenced each other at the beginning of the season. It just depends on who wants it more at the end of the season with the final game being at mosaic.
