Top receivers for the Eskimos returning from last season are Kenny Stafford and running back CJ Gable.

Both teams have big changes to overcome this season. While Edmonton has more news player on the roster than returning players from last season, Montreal fired its head coach Mike Sherman on Saturday just five days before the opening kickoff of the regular season. Edmonton will use the Montreal coaching change to its advantage to squeak out a home win. Final Score Prediction, Edmonton Eskimos win 36-22
