Toronto by 8 Montreal by 4 Winnipeg by 6 BC by 11 Good week last week. I feel it's important to beat apoch without using his charts, data or obvious intellectual superiority - so I'm going with my gut... and a small amount of chicken bones.

Hey Weedy, don't bogart that chicken. This week, 13 Jimmy Buffett fans will make the pilgrimage to Key LARGO! While washing down 7 pills each with a pint of 'SKIM milk! If they get that down alright, 6 of them will feel like WINNers! And they'll BC-in' their hero in concert starting about 10 o'clock! Yeah, that's right. Call me Norman, because I Rock Well.

I blame Ricky Williams for my poor performance this year...he and the influx of powerful South Beach Creeper Weed he took to Canada with him have obviously altered the CFL landscape. Tonto by 7; Monty by 12; Winnie the Peg by 10; Hamma Lamma Ding Dang by 3.

Slip slidin' away, as Max Merritt and the Meteors would have it. Toronto by 11 Montreal by 9 Calgary by 3 BC by 18 The nearer your destination...

I don't know if I am eligible for the Costanza since I know I missed giving my picks twice. Which is sort of cheating when it comes to sucking. Toronto by 10 Montreal by 10 Winnipeg by 10 BC by 10 Picking everybody by 11 last week was for naught. Do I hear everybody by 10?

Well weedy, I only compiled that data and used for the last two weeks. I'm 4-3 with it, so I'm not sure it's helping me any.

Despite all my rage... Toronto by 13 Montreal by 4 Calgary by 24 B.C. by 9 ...I'm still just a rat in a cage.

hmmm ... let's see now ... is it even worth making my picks this week? like the Eskimos and the TiCats, I'm surely out of the playoff picture. But, since the playoff confidence pool isn't a win-to-get-in thing (it's not, right?) then I better take my chances and play outta this season-long funk. The Riders are my dark horse ... if they could only put a string of games together they could make a run at the Cup! Saskatchewan by 6 As hard as this is for me to say, the wind is gone from the Esks' sail this season. Playin' practice roster players against a Montreal team still with somethin' to play for? Alouettes by 17 I think the Bombers are gonna come into this one fired up. But, the Stamps just might be good enough to take it all this year. Calgary by 3 Even on an off day, the Lions better be able to handle those other 'cats ... after-all, it's not the "Tiger King". B.C. by 20 As an aside, does anyone know if Stegall will be hitting the field at all? He is still only two TDs shy of the career record, but I know he was injured a couple o' weeks ago. That and Joffrey Reynolds chasing the rushing crown are the only things marginally interesting to me now that the Esks have bowed out :(

God I suck. Using the yearly averages I'm 5-6.

Two squeakers this week: Saskatchewan won theirs and Edmonton lost theirs, meaning that the 34-year playoff streak in the city of champions is officially over. Winnipeg beat Hamilton in a surprisingly entertaining game, and Henry Burris put in the performance of the year against B.C. to show that a Lions trip to the Grey Cup is anything but a sure thing.
