Will Week Five be the lucky week for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers? That's one of the plot lines for the final weekend of July as the Bombers still looking for a win in 2012, take on the Edmonton Eskimos in their home debut at Canad Inn Stadium.
Winnipeg's troubles provide for a recurring theme so far in 2012, injuries taking their toll on the defending Easter champions, who have suffered a rather severe change of direction from last November's Grey Cup appearance.
Toronto will seek to make the concerns in Montreal grow a little, Ricky Ray who is starting to mesh with his offence options heads into a gunslingers showdown with Anthony Calvillo with the Als, Montreal's problems however are more to the defensive and on special teams, two areas the Argos will seek to exploit on their trip.
The showcase game of the weekend could fall on Saturday as the rejuvenated Tiger Cats, who have looked good the last two weeks as Henry Burris hits his stride travel to Saskatchewan, facing a Rider team that is still smarting from last weeks late game collapse against the Stampeders. Add into the mix a return of one time Rider Burris and the forecast is for a hard hitting, possibly shoot out the lights kind of day.
BC rounds out the weekend schedule heading off to Calgary, the Lions struggling of late have suffered losses mainly of their own making, turnovers proving to be a costly thing sliding them down the Western standings. Calgary will seek to build on last weeks character win over the Riders to continue the Lions troubles for another week.
