TSN football analyst Chris Schultz is back with his Week 5 selections. See which way he's leaning in all four games.

Calgary at Ottawa

It amazes me that Calgary has continued to run an efficient offense with so much inexperience on the line. Last year, their depth was tested in many spots on the roster and the Stamps responded by going all the way to the Grey Cup. This year, that depth is being tested again, this time specifically along the decimated offensive line, and the Stamps are once again proving resilient. You can make an argument that Calgary is the class of the league. This is a really good football organization that's able to find, coach and produce players who can "plug and play" at a moment's notice. Now the Stamps fly to Ottawa to play a Redblacks team that is having its confidence tested. The season started with two solid wins, but the team did not look good in consecutive losses to the Eskimos. The Redblacks have yet to score a point in the first quarter this season, a major issue. Another concern is the declining production from Ottawa's running game. After rushing for 114 yards against the Alouettes and 141 against the Lions, the Redblacks managed just 25 and 46 in the losses to Edmonton. A goal for Ottawa this week is find a more balanced attack that takes some pressure off quarterback Henry Burris.

The pick: I'll go with the team on a two-game roll: Calgary over Ottawa.

Toronto at B.C.

The bye week came at a good time for the Argonauts. With three games to evaluate, the coaching staff should have a good idea of the group's strengths and weaknesses. With two more road games to go – this week at B.C., then at Hamilton - the most difficult part of their schedule is almost over. The Lions have a truly healthy Travis Lulay back under centre and he is tough to beat at home. In his career as the Lions' starting quarterback, he has compiled an 18-1 mark at BC Place. The Lions do have work to do on the defensive side of the ball. They gave up 501 total yards to Saskatchewan last week, and are allowing a league-worst 465 per game. The Lions' last two wins over the Riders were gut-check victories that showed the team can overcome adversity. I don't expect Lulay to run for 105 yards this week like he did against the Riders in Week 4, but I do expect him to pass for more than the 127 yards he had in that game.

The pick: This is a tough one, but I'll take the Lions by three.                

Winnipeg at Edmonton  
         
The Bombers have a lot of concerns after last week's loss to the Stampeders. The team blew an early 16-point lead and had issues on special teams. All you can do is try to learn and never repeat, so this week is a chance to put that performance behind them. Drew Willy had a great game last Saturday night, going 22 of 27 for 289 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. He seemed to find a new quality performer in wide receiver Darvin Adams, who had five receptions for 121 yards. Adams looks to be forming a solid trio with Clarence Denmark and Nick Moore, giving Willy three targets to work with. With Edmonton, my football instincts tell me they have found a gem in running back Shakir Bell. If Bell can be consistent, it will take a lot of pressure off quarterback Matt Nichols. I also look to defensive end Odell Willis to play with high effort and energy. He needs to redeem himself as a leader after being benched last week for his travels through the Ottawa Redblacks' bench. This will be a big test for the Bomber protection package as Edmonton has multiple explosive pass rushers.

The pick: This one should be close going into the fourth, but I like the Eskimos over the Bombers.           

Hamilton at Saskatchewan

There should be a sense of urgency for both of these teams heading into this game. The Riders are winless and desperate after losses to Winnipeg, Toronto and B.C. at home. Hamilton has a 1-2 record and is coming off a flat performance against the Alouettes that saw quarterback Zack Collaros toss three interceptions and the team take 16 penalties. What's wrong with the Roughriders? I think it's a combination of events. The injuries to defensive backs Weldon Brown and Tristan Jackson are huge; losing defensive backs always gives opposition offences more choices to attack. Opposition quarterbacks are already completing a league-high 76.6 per cent of passes against Saskatchewan. The Riders have also allowed more first downs, 96, than any team in the league, and have surrendered the most net passing yards and touchdown passes. On the other side of the ball, Jerome Messam and Anthony Allen are good power backs and quarterback Kevin Glenn has replaced the injured Darian Durant effectively so far. Hamilton plays very good run defence, which could make Saskatchewan one-dimensional and keep this game very close. I've picked the Riders four straight times and have been wrong. This may be my last time.

The pick: The Riders must win this one at home. I'll take Saskatchewan over Hamilton.
