CFL Pick 'Em, Week 2: We're back into the swing of things as B.C. opens strongly, Toronto stays predictable, and The_Black_Hand shows the world how it's done. Same ol' same ol'. See the results and make your picks inside. It's not too late to join in if you missed the first week: remember, our champion last year was a second-week starter!

Well i'm off to a blazeing start. I really enjoy the SpoFi pools but I seem to be in just over my head treading water. May not have access to a computer for a few days so I better get my picks in now. Toronto by 11 Montreal by 7 Edmonton by 4 B.C. by 17

Montreal by 9 BC by 18 Toronto by 12 Edmonton by 9 Yes I'm using my same picks from last week. Except I multiplied the spread by three than divided it by two. Lets see if that works.

Let's say: Toronto by 3 Hamilton by 7 Edmonton by 8 B.C. by 3 Predicting blowouts is the key to success. I have got to start predicting blowouts.

I'm now accepting bets on whether or not TBH will be picking in time to defend his lead. Kickoff's in a couple hours.

Nobody picked Winnipeg, and nobody picked the spread at seven, so nobody gets any points from the Winnipeg victory. Wow.

Stupid work.

If you had to pick a week to miss, TBH, this was probably it. Zero points were handed out for the TOR@WPG game, and only four for the MTL@HAM game.

Looking over chico's picks, aside from Toronto, I have no idea who he picked to win.

Wow! Way off on the Argo v. Bomber game ... further testament to the fact that even (former) starting NFLers are no guarantee for success in the CFL!!! Bombers even looked like contenders in that one.

Entertaining opening week, bringing back all those warm CFL fuzzies in your stomach. Well, mine at least. Winnipeg hangs up a few points in Molson Stadium before Montreal remembers who they're playing and how they're supposed to beat them. Saskatchewan may have taken some key players from the Ottawa dispersal draft, but Ottawa sucked last year, and so did Saskatchewan this weekend. Toronto used Ricky Williams effectively to overcome a broken Damon Allen finger, greeting the new-look Tiger-Cats with an old-look result. Calgary, whose six turnovers in last year's western semifinal gift-wrapped the game for Edmonton, forced back those six turnovers to take their season opener from those same Eskimos.
