CFL 2010

ok, time for CFL season (finally). it starts on July 1!

here are my preseason predictions
West
1. Edmonton - 11-7
a return to the top for Edmonton, with Ray still firing and a solid 1-2 punch in the backfield, along with good recievers, it should be a good season for Edmonton.
2. Sask - 10-8
maybe a slow start as the defence isn't what it was last year after losing three stars, but Durant will show last year wasn't a fluke. of course if he falls off, there isn't much behind him
3. Calgary - 9-9
no home playoff game for my stamps this year with less recieving talent and an entirely new O-line, as well as a rookie kicker. decent backups will stem tide if Burris doesn't get protected well enough.
4. BC - 7-11
still a good team, and Printers will get them some wins, but Wally's time in BC may be running out

East
1. Montreal - 12-6
still the team to beat in the east, but the gap is quickly closing, as Calvillo ages and Montreal will be the targets as the reigning Grey Cup Champions. no team has repeated since the 96-97 Argos
2. Hamilton - 10-8
Hamilton continues to improve year by year, Glenn is good enough to get them wins, while relying on what might be the best linebacking core in the league, along with young talent and the newly acquired Deanglis from Calgary.
3. Winnipeg - 8-10
still behind the Als and Ticats, but new coaching is a big change. no crossover this year. getting Pierce is a great move, but only until he gets another concussion and his career is over. good recieving core
4. Toronto - 5-13 - QB will continue to be the biggest problem with no experienced QBs, a team building for the future will show more promise near the end with Barker bringing in some talent
