TORONTO — Whether you’re a CFL team, a Total CFL Pick ‘Em player or a CFL.ca writer, there’s a lot on the line, and all of it continues as Week 6 gets set in the Canadian Football League.
Week 6 is back to a four-game schedule with the lone team on bye being Edmonton. Saskatchewan and Hamilton meet up after having last week off and look to have Tim Hortons Field rocking.
Total CFL Pick ‘Em is back in 2018 with $5,000 to be awarded to the winner who’s able to Pick ‘Em better than all the rest.

Both teams are coming off of a bye week in which they played one another the week prior. These two teams have arguably two of the toughest stadiums to play in when it comes to their fans and TigerTown will surely be ready.
Jeremiah Masoli is one game away from taking sole possession of the record for most consecutive games with 300-yards passing.
As for Saskatchewan, Chris Jones looks to be sticking to his quarterback rotation. Has a week off given him enough time to perfect it and sort out his offensive woes?

Travis Lulay, the Comeback Kid, orchestrated a stellar performance that saw his Lions overcome a huge deficit at halftime, eventually taking the cake and defeating the Blue Bombers.
The Lions will be without their all-star linebacker in Solomon Elimimian. Do they have enough on defence to disrupt a highly-potent offence that’s been struggling?
Trevor Harris addressed the media this week and ensured REDBLACKS fans that there is nothing to worry about. When it comes to the Stampeders defence they were blown out by, no other team draws a comparison.

It’s the battle of the two running backs that possibly have the most potential in achieving the 1,000 x 1,000 stat line this season. Winnipeg’s Andrew Harris and Toronto’s James Wilder Jr. will be looking to run loose on Saturday at BMO Field.
James Franklin will surely only continue to get more comfortable at the helm of Marc Trestman’s offence. It’s just whether or not that translates into success on the field and scoreboard.
Plans surely didn’t go as well as Matt Nichols would have hoped in his team’s upsetting loss to the Lions a week ago. He’ll look to right the ship against the Boatmen.

Bo Levi Mitchell has been questionable all week. That doesn’t mean it’s time to wave the flags if you’re a Calgary fan. Far from it!
The Stampeders defence in the best in the league right now and could very possibly put some points on the board against an Alouettes team struggling to find their identity.
Jeff Mathews is out for 4-6 weeks, so the original starting quarterback takes back the reigns of the Alouettes offence. Does Drew Willy have an upset up his sleeve in Week 6?
