BC Lions: Leo's aim for a third straight victory

The Lions posted a 35-32 win at home in Week Three before heading into Regina where they recorded a 27-24 victory during Week Four action. The ‘Riders have the worst defense in the CFL (33.5 PPG) so those pair of wins need to be taken with a grain of salt. The Lions have scored 26 PPG while giving up 27.6 PPG.
Toronto Argonauts: Holding their own with backup QB Trevor Harris
