The wrap up game of week six brings two teams that had big expectations for 2011 but struggled out of the gate, however both Calgary and Hamilton seem to have righted their ships heading into week six, though the Tiger Cats would appear to have the edge when it comes to confidence over the last few weeks.
The Stamps will try to get their offence untracked against the always dominant Tiger Cat defence, while the Cats offence has become so focused on the task at hand that they felt that mercurial receiver Arland Bruce III was expendable, sending him off to the BC Lions earlier this week.
Saturday's match up should provide a good measuring point for both teams, if the Cats can continue on with their winning ways then a run for first in the east is not out of the question, while Calgary needs a win desperately to keep within striking distance of the league leading Eskimos.

CFL Gameday Edmonton at Winnipeg (Friday, August 5, 2011)
One of the more anticipated of match ups is set for kick off tonight as the opening act of the Friday Night Football Double header, with the high flying and undefeated Edmonton Eskimos set to take on the surprising Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Canad Inn Stadium should be filled to the top tonight as the Eastern leading Bombers take on the West Division top dogs, seeking to send the Eskimos on to the defeated side of the CFL ledger for the first time this year.
Two quarterbacks who have shone early in this CFL season will lead their squads into tonights match, Ricky Ray who has found his game again under new head coach Kavis Reed will be looking to add to his statistics thus far in the year, while Winnipeg's Buck Pierce has been equally effective so far for the Blue and Gold, though injury worries for Pierce, who has been out on the sidelines in almost every game this season so far continue to make Bomber fans a tad nervous as each game progresses.

CFL Gameday: Montreal at Toronto (August 4, 2011)
Two teams struggling for a win over the last few weeks kick off our week six previews.
The Montreal Alouettes in the rare position of being in the midst of a losing skid travel to Toronto to take on the Argonauts in their second home game of the season.
The Argos have left their coach frustrated over the last few weeks with costly mistakes at inopportune times knocking out a potential win from under their feet, however with a strong running game there does seem to be hope on the horizon.
Montreal on the other hand is still considered one of the top echelon teams in the CFL, but with two losses in a row there are some suggesting that perhaps the dynasty is beginning to crumble. the twin themes of an Argo team looking to move forward and an Alouette team hoping to regain form makes for an interesting opener for week six.
Below you can find information about the Als/Argos matchup, offering up previews and reviews, as well as other items of note from CFL.ca and other sources.
