Edmonton lost at Pilly yesterday, so both teams are on a back to back with travel. Edmonton is a stronger team than Pitt though.
This will be two games in a row that I listen to the radio call while watching tv.

Mick, I know you were concerned that McMichael stalled out for awhile several weeks ago. But he still has 10 more points in 2/3 of the season than he did in a full season last year. He's on pace to just about double his point total from last season. It seems as though he's chugging away under the radar.
