I see this year being very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">competitive</span>. I love the <a href="http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=newser&func=display&nid=7165">salary cap</a> as it ensures that all teams will have their chance to win the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Cup">Grey Cup</a> this year in <a href="http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=newser&func=display&nid=7165">Toronto</a>. It does hurt a lot of vets but it is always time for some new blood. I do wonder if the cap is fair for all teams, as it is more expensive to live in the larger cities. In the past I believe that Saskatchewan was at a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">disadvantage</span> because players did not want to go to Regina, but now players could make less and still have more in Regina.<br /><br />Here are my predictions for the upcoming year:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">West</span><br />Calgary Stampeders<br />Saskatchewan Roughriders<br />BC Lions<br />Edmonton Eskimos<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">East</span><br />Toronto Argonauts<br />Montreal Alouettes<br />Winnipeg Blue Bomberes<br />Hamilton Tiger-Cats<br /><br />What do you think will happen this year?
