FRIDAY
Saskatchewan at B.C., 7 p.m.
Talk about a totally different vibe. Here's Riders coach Ken Miller in the Regina Leader-Post after his first win: "I've hugged the players and tomorrow I might hug them again. I thanked everyone. I would like to point out that our assistant coaches were sensational. It's a tremendous organization to work with and I'm so happy to have a leader like [general manager] Eric Tillman." The Lions played in Calgary like spoiled kids who somehow believe their Grey Cup title last year was stolen from them. Truth is, they haven't played a decent game now since last Halloween.
Province pick: Riders.
Anyone sense the Province's talented beat writer doesn't get a good vibe from the Lions these days? He also picked the Stamps to win last week.
Given the Lions precarious offensive line situation (Valli in and Murphy currently in Florida) this prediction is hardly a stretch.
