While Winnipeg has labelled itself 'Swaggerville', it's hard to figure out what's going on in Riderville. The 33-3 loss to, at the time league worst, Hamilton Tiger-Cats seemed like rock bottom but then the Roughriders go pay a visit to the 0-5 B.C. Lions and come out with 11 points and have found an even deeper low.

However, after Week 3 I put the Roughriders at the bottom of the power rankings and this week there is actually a team I find even less powerful.

Well this week there is a lot of movement within the Power Rankings. Teams are cruising, others are stumbling and the streaks we are seeing make it pretty is to see where teams sit in the rankings.

What a difference a week makes for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and they climb up the power rankings because of it. The Riders rode into Montreal and took their game to the Alouettes, although it was hard to identify that by the way they played in the first three weeks. To climb further up the power rankings they of course need to play like that this week and next week.

Here we go again with another edition of the Power Rankings for the Canadian Football League from week to week here on The Green Zone

It’s finally here as the B.C. Lions and Montreal Alouettes kick off the year, followed by a double header on Canada Day and then the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos finish off the week on Sunday.

And to begin the year, I give you my CFL predictions.

In the West Division I feel the race to host the playoff games will be as competitive as ever. The B.C. Lions and Edmonton Eskimos will be better than last season and the Calgary Stampeders will not be a 13-5 football team.

I went to the internet to tell you what I think of the Riders vs Lions game. Sit back, grab the beverage of your choice, but drink it fast because this is only three minutes long!

Here's how I look at all the battles that will play out on the field for the Roughriders against the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday night at Mosaic Stadium.
