These picks come to you from beautiful downtown Suva, in the Fiji Islands. The nearest Canadians I could find are my colleagues from the Marshall Islands, who may or may not be US citizens. Which stretches the definition of Canadian, but they suggested: BC by 15 Montreal by 3 Edmonton by 7

In case anyone was wondering (sound of pin dropping, I know), the internet cafe that I'm in is playing Avril Lavigne, really loud. It's a sign.

Oh, the altitude. I'm feeling woozy. How can you people stand being out of the basement? It's enough to give a bunny-hill mountaineer the vapors! Alright. I'll leave 13 people LION in the street! And then I'll ALOUETTE 6 people's whistles! And then I'll show 11 people my ARGONAUGHTY bits! And then I'll have to go lay down somewhere.

Well it's official ... I sunk to the bottom rung!?!? Dr. John, is it as lonely at the top as it is down here at the bottom? With a little luck, maybe YYM and chico will come back down to commiserate with me :-( Anyway ... Lions by 3 (although I'm already hating this pick) Riders by 3 (the Don is gone) Toronto by 5 (betting against the Eskimos last week at least saw them win one ... nothing like proving me wrong ... AGAIN???) Nope ... no blowouts this week.

Montreal squeaks out a win in Winnipeg to end their long, long slide and keep a piece of first place in the East standings. Toronto fulfils the home-and-home prophecy to hang onto the other piece. B.C. visits Hamilton with a Reality gift basket, and Edmonton makes sure to stay tantalizingly close the to playoff picture.
