The Montreal Alouettes head into Hamilton to face Avon Cobourne for the first time. Cobourne will want to impress his former mates as the Tiger-Cats look for their 3rd win in a row.
Montreal will have their own AC in the line-up, as Calvillo is good to go after leaving last week with blurred vision.
Sorry for no Watch List last week, but alas it is back for week 5
-Look for AC to find Kerry Watkins within his first 3 throws.
-Brandon Whitaker will be used more this week, as he was stuck in the backfield helping Jeraill McCuller block for the most part last week against Saskatchewan.
-Brandon London may see less balls thrown his way but he still remains a threat downfield. So look for any throws his way 20plus yards.
-Avon Cobourne will at some point in this game will be jawing with Shea Emry
-Kevin Glenn will look to go deep down the middle with Jeff Hecht starting at Safety in place of Etienne Boulay. Marcel Bellefeuille will be testing him early.
-Dwight Anderson and Billy Parker will have their hands full with rookie WR Chris Williams he has looked great in the 1st few weeks.
Prediction time, The Alouettes dont lose twice in a row that often. It is on the road so I expect this to stay close. Big games from Calvillo and Whitaker will carry the team. Montreal 30, Hamilton 28.

Flip Floppin' Als
It's a tough game to judge tonight.
On the air today on The TEAM 990 I said I'm taking The Ti-Cats. I like taking teams that have something to play for. I know the Als are resting Avon Cobourne and aren't 100% healthy. But there's something about Marc Trestman that leads me to believe he's going to hav his group primed for this divisional match-up.
I expect different looks for the Als, Maybe they'll work, maybe they won't. Plus Hamilton just always has a tough time with that Montreal Hurdle.
With a side of caution I flip flop to the Als in this one. I just hope that'll be fun is all. Got a long weekend of work ahead of me, Need some Friday night football.
Als 35, Ti-Cats 31

More Than Just Broken Records
The Alouettes were dominant in their 42-17 meaningless tilt against the Argos yesterday. The game was out of hand early enough that 3rd string quarterback Chris Leak got more than 2 series under his belt.
Both Leak and Adrian McPherson played well in place of Anthony Calvillo as they found 10 different receivers on the day, including one to Ben Cahoon to keep his reception streak alive at 127 games. The Als Defense intercepted Argo QB Stephen Reaves 4 times and sacked him 3 times. All in all a relatively routine game for the Als against the Argos.
With the victory the Alouettes set a franchise single season record with 15 wins on the season. Another record in the game went to Damon Duval who had 21 points on the day which allowed him to surpass former Argo's Lance Chomcy single season point record back in 1991. Duval's new record is 242 and is an All-time CFL season high.
However the Als will have to wait for some tests to be conducted on LB Diamond Ferri's right ankle. Ferri who has been battling the flu recently just returned to the line-up the last two weeks. He's a big part of that linebacking core that includes Shea Emry and Chip Cox. The Als have exactly two weeks to get him healthy or find an adequate replacement.
The Als now know they will face the winner between Hamilton and B.C. on November 22nd at the BIG O, The Als want you to know there's only 13000 tickets left you can buy them on www.ticketmaster.ca
News and Notes:
-The best news out of this weekends action for the Alouettes is the fact the Rough Riders clinched first spot in the West. With the Grey Cup in Calgary this year, it takes any possibility that Calgary could be at home for the entire playoff run. The West Division will be won through Riderville this year.
-Congrats to Marcel Bellefeuille and the Ti-Cats who will be hosting their first playoff game since 2001
-The B.C. Lions may have to look to Zac Champion behind centre in Hamilton next Sunday after Both Casey Printers (thumb) and Buck Pierce (shoulder) were injured against Edmonton.
