It\u2019s more of the same this week, with another four teams enjoying a bye.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s a look at the league&#8217;s Week 9 CFL power ratings<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1 (1). Winnipeg Blue Bombers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Winnipeg holds onto the top spot after getting a bye last week. The Blue Bombers have just a single loss this season and, at 6-1, lead Montreal by a game in the East Division.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cD\u201d has gotten a ton of credit for the hot start, and deservedly so, but the offense hasn\u2019t been too bad either\u2014Fred Reid is second in the CFL in rushing yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 (2). Montreal Alouettes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Montreal was one of four teams with a bye last week. The Alouettes won back-to-back games heading into the week off, and they\u2019re doing it just like you might expect\u2014with offense. Anthony Calvillo has been typically brilliant; he leads the CFL with 14 touchdown passes and is second with 2095 passing yards.  <figure id=\"attachment_39676\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39676\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39676\" title=\"CFL Handicapping - Power Rankings\" src=\"http:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/CFL-Handicapping-Power-Rankings-e1308922910713.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/CFL-Handicapping-Power-Rankings-e1308922910713.gif 150w, https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/CFL-Handicapping-Power-Rankings-e1308922910713-100x100.gif 100w, https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/CFL-Handicapping-Power-Rankings-e1308922910713-125x125.gif 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CFL Handicapping - Power Rankings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 (3). Calgary Stampeders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another team with a bye\u2026 another team holding its spot from last week\u2019s power rankings. Calgary has exploded in its past two games, racking up 77 points. Henry Burris has cranked up his game after a solid but unspectacular start, throwing four touchdowns, 639 yards and no interceptions in his past two outings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/sportsbook\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>CANADIAN?

Hamilton Tiger-Cats<\/strong><br \/>\nHamilton rounds out the bye-week teams, all of which oddly either held ground or moved up. The Tiger-Cats haven\u2019t been able to build much momentum, and at 4-3 they have some work to do in the East Division. Perhaps the week off will give them a chance to regroup and string together their second winning streak of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 (8). British Columbia Lions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Lions hammered Edmonton 36-1 last week, and B.C. wound up with two CFL Player of the Week awards. Receiver Arland Bruce exploded for nine catches, 129 yards and two scores\u2014in just his second game with the Leos, no less. Defensive tackle Aaron Hunt earned defensive honours after notching five tackles and three sacks.  [ad-4437448]<\/p>\n<p><strong>6 (7). Toronto Argonauts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Toronto creeps up a spot after squeaking past Saskatchewan 24-18. The Boatmen have just two wins this season, but taking a win into their bye this week is massive. Of course, it would help if the Argos got to play the lowly Roughriders every week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7 (4). Edmonton Eskimos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no getting around it\u2014the Eskimos are free falling. Ricky Ray has completely melted down, and he threw three interceptions in last week\u2019s 36-1 embarrassment against British Columbia. That makes it three straight losses for Edmonton, which has scored just 21 points in the past three weeks\u2014and only five points (five!) it its past two outings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8 (8). Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Woof. The Roughriders can\u2019t get much worse at 1-7. They were competitive in last week\u2019s 24-18 loss to the Argonauts, but competitive doesn\u2019t mean squat\u2014just ask Greg Marshall. Marshall was fired as head coach and replaced with VP-Football Operations Ken Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Miller led the Roughriders to back-to-back Grey Cup appearances during a three-year stint as Saskatchewan\u2019s head coach in 2008-2010.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got your back with the BEST <a title=\"CFL Betting\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/sports-scores\/Canadian-Football-Scores-Matchups.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">CFL BETTING<\/a> Site on the WWW.
