CFL Pick 'Em, Week 14: It's one of those weeks when it seems that everybody that you picked last week lost. This is not a wholly inaccurate feeling in some cases. Nonetheless, there's always next week, for which you should make your picks inside.

Well... so much for our powers of pattern recognition. Edmonton comes from behind to avoid getting buried for the season, Toronto manages a win despite not scoring a touchdown, and Winnipeg... won?

Variety! And Toronto doesn't get a chance to frustrate us this week. WEEK 14 Winnipeg @ Calgary (Friday, September 15) Two unstable teams, but at different ends of the spectrum: Calgary has not been consistently brilliant, while Winnipeg hasn't been consistently terrible. Give the edge to a Stamps team at home coming off a tough rivalry loss. Edmonton @ Hamilton (Saturday, September 16) Edmonton just came off a character-building win, but Hamilton is due for a break. Or maybe they're not. Who knows? Montreal @ BC (Saturday, September 16) The bye week may have been good to Montreal. Or maybe not. Who knows? Good luck!

Goddamn unpredictable Canadians...my Hollywood edition picks, for absolutely no discernable reason, except I goddamn well feel like it: Glen (Cal)gary Glen Ross by 8; Ed(monton)die and the Cruisers by 12; (One Million Years) B.C. by 9.

I don't know what position I am in unless it is golf and lowest score wins. In that case I am in third. Woo! Calgary by 9 Edmonton by 5 BC by 11

Now, for the annotated Picks by Spitz: Because parity seems to be the theme of the 2006 CFL, there needs to be a log-jam of teams with 7 wins: Winnipeg by 4 in a nailbiter. The Eskimos are on a quest, and since there isn't enough drama in the league already, Ricky Ray will make Jason Maas the jilted lover in the Maciocia love affair: Edmonton by 10 Parity, remember? If B.C. drops this one, that puts them in a points tie with their cross-division rival. This round of the non-preview of the Grey Cup matchup goes the the Alouettes who have been stewin' over the last loss for a couple of weeks: Montreal by 11.

TBH got his picks in early. Now nothing is going to happen the way it's supposed to. I wouldn't be be surprised if chicobangs has a 9 point week. Winnipeg by 5 Hamilton by 3 BC by 24

Looks like Hamilton has just added a freakin' force of nature to try to turn things around. Jesse Lumsden has signed on for two years. I just hope he's not dressing for Saturday! I'm a huge fan of this kid ... I think he's gonna rock the CFL in a big way.
