The Calgary Stameder will have another one of those regrouping  seasons  with once again very few strong key player on their roster in 05. They will be a bit stronger then last season, but with the loss of Wane McGarity and Marcus Crandell  to Winnipeg and Saskatchewan  they wont have the player depth. There is also talk of the return of place kicker Mark McLoughlin and punter Tony Martino will these players be in condition to play in the CFL again. I'm  picking  Calgary finish last in the CFL west.

    The Edmonton Eskimos  will have a rough go at this season but will still have a good placement in the west division. With the retirement of Mike Pringle and  Tom Higgans gone to Calgary the Eskimos will have some problems with finding a quality running back. Another question is will Ricky Ray return and play for the esks. Then who would the team start Ray, Jones or Maas because we know there all going to make the team. So i'm picking Edmonton to finish 3 in the CFL's west division because of the loss of key players and a quarterback controversy.
