Toronto seems to be back to form, with big plays on special teams (three weeks in a row for Dorsey) and just enough Michael Bishop to jump back into playoff contention. B.C. maintains its pedigree with a tight win over Winnipeg, despite still starting a WR's twin brother at QB. Montreal gets the job done against Hamilton, while Saskatchewan cruises over a decimated Calgary squad.

ResultB.C. by 6Toronto by 25Montreal by 8Saskatchewan by 12
Margin of Error4 to 818 to 336 to 108 to 16
With some solid margins, everybody gets a boatload of points this week. MrFrisby gets a boatload and a half. Who gets six points two weeks in a row, anyway?

Four more weeks, 48 points up for grabs. Can anyone catch MrFrisby? WEEK 16 Montreal @ Toronto (Friday, October 12) This is the Big Game In The EastTM. The winner can pull to within one point of first-place Winnipeg, the loser will be uncomfortably close to potential crossover threat Edmonton. BC @ Edmonton (Saturday, October 13) But Edmonton needs to win this game to begin to register as a crossover threat. Afternoon game, at home—probably Edmonton's best chance to make some noise. Saskatchewan @ Hamilton (Sunday, October 14) Is Hamilton crashing back to earth? It's a bad time to do so as the Riders are trying to get back into first-place contention. Winnipeg @ Calgary (Sunday, October 14) Given their respective fortunes recently, it's hard to believe there are only four points separating these two teams, eh? Good luck!

"Things will be much better for me once I move to Vancouver." Everyone born here in Winnipeg is born with these words ready to launch out off their tongues from the first school recess they get that very tongue stuck to the zipper of their parka. Toronto by 7. This is my tribute to those people! My love for their hate, this is Winnipeg science gabber! Is Winnipeg really that shitty a place to live? Yes, it likely is. It's really fucking cold and people still seem upset about Eric's Trip breaking up. BC by 12. Sometimes I like to go out and listen to the Sisters of Mercy with like 5 other people that are scared to talk to each other. Mostly we stay inside, sometimes go to Safeway and get some stuff. Saskatchewan by 15. I like fruit salad and cigarettes, but I can't smoke here anymore anywhere and not much fruit grows here in the warm season, maybe crab apples or something. Never really liked those and Al hates rhubarb with a passion. Frozen Shithole by 6. I hope to die here under the wheels of a transit bus with a picture of Randy Bachman on the side.

If I looked all over the world Toronto by 18 and there's every type of girl BC by 2 But your empty eyes Saskatchewan by 23 Seem to pass me by Winnipeg by 6 Leave me dancing with myself Oh, oh uh-oh

Argos by a dozen. They just seem to be on a good roll right now. I think it's gonna still be a few weeks before the playoff picture is in focus ... so to keep it interesting, I'm gonna take the EE in a surprise upset over the Leos. Edmonton by 8. Rider Nation is looking to host a playoff game for the first time in 20 years. Think they'd put that in jeopardy by droppin' one to the lowly Tabbies? I don't. Saskatchewan by 20. The Bombers are the best team in the east. The Stamps, even with Burris supposedly dressing this week, suck slough water. Bombers by a converted TD.

How 'bout that Argo defence tonight?

posted by Spitztengle at 10:40 PM on October 12, 2007

Before or after the first ten minutes?

Hey, the devil just called and he wants to know why it's so chilly. I got the first pick of the week right. That makes for the first time in the last ten weeks.

That means my strategy backfired.

10 minutes. 10 minutes? A football game is 60 minutes and we're talkin' about 10 minutes? 10 minutes, man. It's ten minutes. Defense plays a whole game and you wanna talk about ten minutes. We're talkin' 'bout ten minutes, man. Ten minutes. Guys play their hearts out night after night, week after week, and you wanna talk about ten minutes? It's ten minutes, man. We're talkin' 'bout ten minutes. ;)
