CFL Pick ’Em, Week 6: SpoFi is back online and so is the CFL Pick 'Em. Chances are most of you, violently anxious to know your weekly score, pried your cubicle neighbour's calculator from his cold, dead hands, and already tallied up your own points. But just in case you don't share a cubicle, I did your tallies too. Make your picks inside.

Maybe giving teams the benefit of the doubt was not the greatest strategy last week... Montreal by 9 BC by 11 Toronto by 6 Saskatchewan by 7

3 points. My mediocrity cannot be restrained. OK, not much time here, so my next method will be based on each team's home field stadium capacity. Greatest capacity is the selection. Hamilton by 9 Edmonton by 3 Toronto by 3 Calgary by 7

When I lived in Darwin I used to work with a Canadian fellow from Kitchener, Ontario. Montreal by 13. We went fishing a lot, and had about a dozen crab pots that we would set out amongst the mangroves. Edmonton by 5. Of course the legal limit was only three pots per person, and fisheries patrols were frequent. Winnipeg by 7. Whenever we were spotted, my friend would put on his best Canadian drawl and claim he'd only just arrived in the country and didn't know the regulations, while I had to pretend to be his deaf mute brother. Calgary by 17. It never worked.

But, living on the farm, he knew nothing of the city. Montreal by 14 Built his house out of straw, what a pity. B.C. by 7 And then one day, jammin on some chords, Toronto by 9 along came the wolf, knocking on his door. Saskatchewan by 6

3 points. My mediocrity cannot be restrained. I'd be happy if someone restrained my mediocrity. Hamilton by 14 BC by 3 Winnipeg by 17 Calgary by 20

C'mon guys. I need my mediocrity. It defines me. Plus, in the US I'll bet that I can get someone to diagnose it as a handicap and I can qualify for one of those parking permits.

I don't know THX, after last year I didn't qualify.

How about if I limp a bit? (I feel that I have crossed a line. And yet, I still did it. Apologies all around.)

Yeah, well my mediocrity is more mediocre than your mediocrity! If Hamilton can't put together a win tonight, I just don't think they have the studs to win much at all again this year. They'll be in tough, but I think they just might eke one out ... TiCats by 2. That, or it's a blowout by the home team. EE at home. Gonna be a high scoring affair tonight I do believe. I mean if you give me an over/under of 80pts, I'm takin' over. Honestly, I think the EE have more studs on O and special teams this year ... D-line is questionable now, but they fared well against the run last week, no? Gotta give the edge to the Esks tonight ... EE by 1. Stegall returns to the Bombers, but Joseph and the Argos are PISSED about last week. Take Toronto convincingly by 12. I can't believe I'm gonna write this ... but now I'm thinkin' that 6-0 might not be that crazy??? The Stamps "could", by all means, establish themselves as western favorites with a win over the Riders, but somehow, I think those Gritty Green suckers are gonna pull one out of cowtown. Samsquanch by 5. Like the Hamilton game, if it goes the other way, it'll probably be a landslide though.

Reever and I are at the game. It's halftime and the favourites are up 18-3. Sorry, BoKnows.

Change of heart. Crandell apparently gets the nod for the Riders this week. Two QBs facing their former teams ... but the edge, in Calgary, has got to go to Burris. There's, of course, a chance that I will be kickin' myself for this flip-flop ... but I'm gonna now go with the Stampeders by 13.

No blowouts this week: four tightly contested games, although some were a little too tightly contested (see EDM @ HAM). Winnipeg scratches out its first win of the season, but Toronto comes up short in Regina and the Roughriders unexpectedly open the season 5-0.
