CFL Pick 'Em, Week Three: Canada Day is over and done with, but we still have three more Canadian holiday weekends to get through in this football season, so you'd better shape up. Shake off that maple hangover and make your picks inside.

Realized I hadn't done the pick 'em until I checked the TV schedule and saw it was on ESPN. Oh well, I would have taken Hamilton anyway. Here are the quickies for the rest of the schedule.
BC by 6. They are home, after all.
Ottawa by 11. No reason,just policy.
Edmonton by 4. It's easier to spell than Saskatchewan.

Dammit, missed the Thursday games (but who am I kidding, I would have picked both wrong anyway).
Ottawa by 10
Edmonton by 8

First CFL tie in 7 years. I believe that should trigger Oprah rules: You get a point, you get a point, you get a point!

A tie indeed! But don't worry, the Pick 'Em witnessed the last one.

Things got a little weird in Montreal, but Trevor Harris puts together a solid game for the Ottawa win. Toronto finally finds their offence out in Saskatchewan. Hamilton completely loses the handle at home in a blowout loss to the Lions, while Winnipeg's new look comes up short again, this time in Calgary.
Movement at the top already! rcade nails the Argos win, and bender's lucky coin does the job, as they tie for the lead.
Continuing a grand CFL tradition, the third week of the season is the one that follows the second.
WEEK 3
Winnipeg @ Hamilton (Thursday, July 7)
Both these teams added significant pieces in the offseason but have yet to gain traction with them. Hamilton's coming off an embarrassing performance at home, but the real pressure's on winless Winnipeg.
Toronto @ B.C. (Thursday, July 7)
B.C.'s strong start has them at the top of the West, while Toronto's still putting the pieces together - and Vancouver is always a tough place to play. But the Lions haven't scored nearly as many points as they would've liked, and the Argos have proven to be road warriors in the past.
Calgary @ Ottawa (Friday, July 8)
So far Ottawa's strategy has been "Give up a million points, but score a billion points", and so far it's working. How far can Trevor Harris throw the ball on a gummy Ottawa summer evening?
Saskatchewan @ Edmonton (Friday, July 8)
Early bye weeks have both these teams looking for their first win. Who's got the edge? If I knew, I wouldn't be running this little pick 'em, I can tell you that much.
Good luck!
