CFL Pick 'Em, Final Standings: It takes until the final week of the season, but we have a winner. It takes some Grade 10 math, but we also have a Costanza winner.

Let me join the chorus of those singing songs of thanks to you, DJE ... this pick 'em pool rocks!
Hats to you, MrFrisby, for neckin' it out in the final sprint ... and to first-timer j5v ... well done to push it so hard to the end.
owlhouse, you crack me up ... I've got more mileage out of some of your joke stories this year than runningbacks had yardage!
LET THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN!!!

Is this the second year in a row MrFrisby has won? I call shenanigans.

Thanks for your efforts and dedication, DJE. It was a crazy season with B.C. not always being a lock to win and Hamilton not being a lock to lose.
While it is the second time that I won, they were not consecutive. I stunk up the joint last year. So yeah, hooray for me and...

Wow, after generally having success in the CFL Pick 'Em this season was brutal. Five points is probably close to the most I've scored all season. Congrats to MrFrisby and thanks DJE. This first Constanza was well earned.
Now if only I'd actually win something.

Casey gets hurt and Arkee runs away with an Edmonton victory over the Lions. Toronto offers no surprises to close out their 3-win season. Saskatchewan comes on strong at home to clinch the team's first division title since the Stone Age. And it's Bad Michael Bishop who shows up on Sunday and can't get anything going against the Tiger-Cats, as Winnipeg is eliminated by the cross-over.
In one of the more dramatic finishes we've seen, MrFrisby caps his comeback by picking all four winners and hitting the Montreal margin for good measure. Congratulations, MrFrisby! And a hearty "Well fought" is due to j5v.
At the other end of the table, the standings were close. BoKnows had fewer actual points than Ying Yang Mafia, but had only played 12 weeks to YYM's 18. Those numbers were close enough to give us our first ever CFL Costanza Run-off!
Okay, it's not actually a run-off. I just calculated the average points scored in the week(s) that each player missed, and added them to their total. This gives us the best guess at what the scores would've been had they picked every week.
Based on actual math, the Costanza goes to a very deserving Ying Yang Mafia. Congratulations!
Thank you to everyone for playing this season, and for lending even more excitement to those long, cold, Canadian summers. (Especially for the three Argonauts season ticket holders in this Pick 'Em who, after the first quarter, would frequently have nothing left to cheer for except the spread.)
Special thanks to Spitztengle for posting every week not only Chris Schultz's picks, but also the point spreads!
Thanks, and keep an eye out for the playoffs pick 'em, coming to a Locker Room near you!
