CFL teams re-named with Australian native animals. The Montreal Mallee Fowls by 7. I hope they don't get the hump. The Edmonton Echidnas by 10. Well, they laid an egg last week. The Winnipeg Wombats by 12. The wombat - eats, roots and leaves. The Calgary Cassowaries by 9. Let's give BC a good kicking.

Holy crap. It's Friday, I haven't even started supper, and I have to get these picks done. Talk about poor planning. Well, here goes:
Montreal at Ottawa: Then there was the man who invented the corduroy pillow. The pillow wasn't much to look at, but it sure made a lot of headlines. The RedBlacks will not have their heads on any pillows but will make the headlines. Perhaps they will use the feathers from the Larks to stuff the pillows. Ottawa by 6.
Saskatchewan at Edmonton: Rough Riders head for Eskimo country with a sniff of first place in the air. Rough riding on the ice can result in some notable tumbles, and so it will be in Edmonton. Edmonton by 4.
Hamilton at Winnipeg: Blue Bombers seem to be down for maintenance while the kitty cats look to be learning how to hunt like tigers. Can the repairs to the bombers be done in time? Can the Tiger Cats avoid being distracted by catnip? Since the Cats are at the airfield, look for the Bombers to fly again. Winnipeg by 6.
BC at Calgary: On the African plain the presence of a lion can cause the zebra to stampede. The only zebras present at this contest will also carry whistles, and they aren't running from anything. So do the Stampeders live up to their name and run amok? The Lions are fearsome and could be mighty hungry. Once the herd starts moving, there will be no stopping the rout. BC by 14.

Toronto surprises everyone with a rare win in Vancouver, while Hamilton comes from behind to beat the Esks. Montreal shocks the bookies with a big win over Calgary, and even Ottawa makes it close against Saskatchewan.
Tough week for points given the surprises on the scoreboard, but argoal puts together a nice four-point week to move into a tie for third.
WEEK 14
Back to divisional play this week, so maybe the world will make a little more sense.
Montreal @ Ottawa (Friday, September 26)
Who would've thought this game could be intriguing? A resurgent Montreal could move into first with a win, and even Ottawa is looking competitive these days.
Saskatchewan @ Edmonton (Friday, September 26)
The West just got close again. Steady Edmonton can tie the Riders for second with a win, but Saskatchewan can tie for first if they can steal two points at Commonwealth.
Hamilton @ Winnipeg (Saturday, September 27)
Two teams going in opposite directions: Winnipeg has lost their early-season shine and three in a row to boot, while Hamilton's won two in a row to get to the top of the East. Is there enough time in the season for another change in fortune?
B.C. @ Calgary (Saturday, September 27)
Calgary looked like world beaters with Mitchell at the helm, but so far Drew Tate hasn't been able to keep that momentum in place. Are they vulnerable? The visiting Lions will be a good test.
Good luck!
