CFL Pick 'Em, Week 9: Hopefully you watched the games this week, because they sure didn't help you any other way. The first bye week drastically cuts down point totals, but we'll be back to the regular four-game sked soon enough. Make your picks inside.

I'll post my picks first, so everyone can just pick opposite and rocket up the charts. Toronto by 14 Montreal by 6

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee. Toronto by 7. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy. With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more, than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty. Montreal by 15. That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed when the gales of November came early.

You can only delete what i right. You cannot ban me. Ever heard of IP config? Idiots. It's funny to read some of these foolish comments. I think the name Bishop has been mentioned like 5 times since I was "banned". muhahaha. Black power is just taking owlhouse's method of picking to the extreme.

I'll take the 'peg by 8. Then the Hammer by a deuce. Yes, that'd be an upset at Molson Stadium, 'cause the Ticats are due.

I'm probably going straight to hell for this kind of attitude, but that was hilarious.

In other news, TBH continues to suck. Pfft - If I were still in this thing I'd be ahead of you by a least 1 point.

I blame the fact that they're playing in Canada this year.

DJE that was funny. So much for the tip to "listen to the crowd" though maybe she heard them having a good chuckle at the end. Winnipeg by 8 Montreal by 22 Have a great vacation DJE.

Entertainment-wise, that was a good week. Points-wise, not so much. While the alternating-possessions overtime format makes even a tie an entertaining ending, it does little for those of us who picked an actual winner and spread. And the Saskatchewan win was much tighter than all of us predicted, making it a meagre week indeed.
