My Week 12 bold predictions may have been a tiny bit overzealous. Predicting two short yardage specialists to throw touchdown passes in the same game was maybe a bit over the top.

Though, I did say that Justin Rankin was going to find his way back to racking up big games and he did. So you can at least give me that.

I will say, I did have fun running through matchups and looking at potential big games ahead, with a mix of ridiculous sprinkled in.

Let’s give it a shot for Week 13.

SHEMAR BRIDGES TD IN DEBUT

The Roughriders brought in the former Tiger-Cat to bolster the depth in the receiving corps with more injuries piling up with Samuel Emilus and Johnnie Johnson III now added to the injury report.

Shemar Bridges will turn into the biggest target in Trevor Harris’ arsenal and I think he could make an immediate impact.

It appeared on Wednesday at practice that Bridges is going to go straight into the lineup, and if he’s in uniform, I think he scores in his Roughriders debut, his first touchdown in almost a calendar year.
