CFL Week 3 Picks:

• Hamilton -1.5 vs. B.C.
  The Lions struggled defensively last week against Saskatchewan, failing to disrupt the pocket. Despite their offensive potential, they face a Tiger Cats team that recently secured a vital win against Winnipeg and aims to capitalize on home advantage.

• Toronto -1.5 vs. Ottawa
  Chad Kelly made a strong return for the Argonauts, showcasing passing efficiency that bodes well against an Ottawa team that appeared out of sync in their opener. Toronto’s defense, while occasionally vulnerable, has shown resilience against tougher opponents.

• Montreal -3.5 vs. Edmonton
  The Alouettes are emerging as a formidable force with a balanced offensive attack and an opportunistic defense. However, the performance of RB Justin Rankin could determine the outcome, as the Elks pose a potential threat if he is contained.

• Calgary +1.5 vs. Saskatchewan
  Trevor Harris surprised critics with an impressive showing last week, aided by Sam Emilus. The defending champions look to recover from early-season struggles, especially against the run, as they prepare to face their rivals from Saskatchewan.
