The Edmonton Eskimos will look to make it three in a row when they host the B.C. Lions this weekend, the Saturday night CFL betting board has them pitted against a division rival desperate for a win.

If the Lions can scratch and paw their way to a victory, it will be their first of an already-frustrating campaign. After falling behind the Montreal Alouettes by four points in Week 1, the Lions lost to the Calgary Stampeders by just two the last time out.

The Eskimos, in contrast, have made short work of both the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats - there?s a reason they sit in a dangerous position on the CFL futures board with 13/2 odds of winning the Grey Cup.

Behind only the Alouettes and Stampeders, the Eskimos are fast becoming a team to consider down the stretch, but can they contend with the best just a year removed from finishing dead last in the CFL's West Division? There's a reason these teams play a full 18-game season.

If Edmonton can continue to dispose of reigning playoff teams, however, we may see a new force in the West.

Has B.C. been unfairly punished by a tough schedule to start the year? Calgary and Montreal did finish first and second league-wide in 2010.

If one thing is for sure, it's that there will be a lot more to the upcoming tilt than simply an undefeated team playing a winless one.
