The long weekend comes to an end with the final of the week's two CFL matches showcasing the Lions and Argos, a chance to see if the Lions have indeed returned to their championship form after last weeks convincing victory over the Stamps.
For the home crowd, the wrap to week six will provide the Argos with another opportunity to put some distance between first place in the East and the pack, Toronto has been gaining confidence as each week moves forward in the CFL season, Ricky Ray in particular proving to be a difference maker in Double Blue as he finds his form with the Argos.
The visit by the Lions a very helpful measuring stick for head coach Scott Milanovich to see if his Argos improvement thus far is on track to battle the CFL's most rounded squad.
The Lions defensive play has been fairly strong all season so far, the offence taking a bit longer to shake off the rust of the off season, though the indications from last weekend in Calgary is that Travis Lulay may finally have sorted out the moving parts for the Lions offensive play.
With a bye week beckoning, both the Argos and Lions will be looking to head into their week off on a winning note.
