TORONTO — With each passing week of the 2015 season, the games add more meaning and so do your picks in CFL Pick’Em.
One matchup to keep an eye on this week is a rivalry matchup between East Division teams, as the Argos and Ticats clash for the first time in 2015. The teams appear evenly matched going in and the Argos own a slightly better record this season, although the Ticats have the advantage of playing in their home opener. So far fans are relatively split on which side to go with, giving Hamilton the early edge:
These close matchups are the key to victory in Pick’Em, providing an opportuntiy to either gain or lose valuable points on half of the game’s participants. With that said, our writers put in their picks for week’s most hotly-contested battle:
Toronto Argonauts:
Steinberg
Steinberg: “Trevor Harris keeps on impressing me, and his second half Friday in BC was really fun to watch. But let’s not forget the Argos held the Lions to just six points in the second half which allowed Harris to engineer the comeback. Toronto looks like the best team in the East right now.”
Hamilton Tiger-Cats:
Nye Dunk Landry Pedersen Cauz
Dunk: “The Ticats will be fired up to finally play a home game in 2015, and after going undefeated at the donut box in 2014, Hamilton keeps that streak going.”
Matchup Overview:
One of the CFL’s fiercest rivalries has been restored in a big way, and on a holiday Monday it’s back for the first time in 2015. The East Division has been represented in the Grey Cup by one of these teams for three straight seasons, the Ticats getting to the big show in the last two. The REDBLACKS and Als are off to solid starts so far, but it’s possible the Argos and Ticats are the two favourites to win the East right now.
Ricky Ray will watch from the sideline as his two understudies meet for the first time in their careers in Zach Collaros and Trevor Harris, while Kent Austin and Scott Milanovich are two of the CFL’s brightest offensive minds. The matchup about a month later on Labour Day will be as big as it gets, but this early-August matchup is a nice little precursor.
Who gets the upper hand in this East Division power struggle?
