One team remains undefeated, the other seeks out its first win of the season, and Saturday evening in Edmonton, either the Eskimos are going to add on to the miserable start to the season for the BC Lions or suffer their first setback of the year.
The Lions who have remained close in their first two games of the year, haven't been able to close the deal a frustrating thing no doubt for Lions head coach Wally Buono, who has watched miscues and missed opportunities keep his team out of the win column so far this year.
The Lions coach and GM brings his team into Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday to face an increasingly confident Eskimo squad, which with two convincing wins into the young CFL season, are showing that they were serious when they said that they intend to be more than just competitive this year.

CFL Gameday: Saskatchewan at Hamilton (July 16, 2011)
Two teams that have not had the start to the CFL session that they had probably anticipated take to the field on Saturday afternoon in Hamilton, as the hometown Tiger Cats and visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders get to work seeking their first win of the 2011 season.
Both Hamilton and Saskatchewan have had their struggles in the first two weeks of this season, making week 3 a pivotal moment for both, by the time that the clock ticks off the final seconds on Saturday, one team will finally have relieved a growing burden from their shoulders, while the other will have yet more questions to sort out heading into week four.

CFL Gameday: Toronto at Montreal (July 15, 2011)
Tonight's Friday Night Football feature attraction should draw quite the audience, as CFL fans take the opportunity to watch a master go to work and perhaps, no, make that most likely, collect another record for his collection.
It seems well within reason to expect that sometime before the full sixty minutes of football have played out at Molson Stadium tonight, Anthony Calvillo will have thrown the required one touchdown pass and accepted the accolades and a hand shake from Damon Allen as he moves to the top of the passes thrown for a touchdown list.
That, and the return of now retired Ben Cahoon for the celebration of his time as an Alouette, is the main narrative of tonight's game, which pits eastern rivals Montreal and Toronto against each other, bringing an injury battered Argonaut team into Montreal for the week three match up.

CFL Gameday: Calgary at Winnipeg (July 14, 2011)
Week three kicks off with the undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers home to the Calgary Stampeders, a situation in the standings, that perhaps one might have thought would have been reversed if pre season prognostications were to be considered.
The Blue have provided some rewarding moments for the home town fans, while at times not text book victories, they have in the end been the team to claim four points so far in the Eastern Division standings, Calgary on the other hand suffered a loss at home and squeaked out a win in Vancouver last week.
Will this be the week where the CFL universe begins to re balance? The week three kick off game offers up a hint perhaps.
