CFL Pick 'Em, Week 5: Comebacks, comebacks, comebacks! Last week was full of them, and you'd better hope that this week follows suit if you hope to compete. Come on back and make your picks inside.

A quickie this week. Winnipeg by 15. How do you know when someone has a new iPad? Montreal by 11. Easy. Edmonton by 21. They tell you. Saskatchewan by 3.

Wow! 4 points clear of the Costanza position. It's nothing but blue skies from here.
Tawny Kitties visit a team named after the WW2 color scheme for US Navy aircraft. Blue Bombers keep flying, and the Lions lose some of their pride. Winnipeg by 16.
Les Alouettes visit the Tiger Cats this week. With their best wing not 100%, the cats catch the little larks and (b)eat them by 9.
Argonauts sail into Edmonton. The Eskimos retain the 0 at the end of their record as well as the o at the end of their name. Toronto falls by 12.
The Stampeders ride into Regina, but find a Rough Ride there. Saskatchewan wins by 5.

Hamilton holds off the B.C. comeback to prevail at Empire Stadium. Winnipeg overcomes a 17-3 first-quarter deficit to shock the Argos at home. Calgary can't complete the comeback as Edmonton rides to a 4-0 record. Saskatchewan nabs their first win in the unlikeliest of places—although an early Calvillo injury cannot be overlooked as a factor.
Reever nails two spreads, giving him six points and a leapfrog over owlhouse into first place.
Week 5! Will that 4-0 team become 4-1? Will that 3-1 team become 4-1? Will that 2-2 team become either 3-2 or 2-3? Probably.
WEEK 5
B.C. @ Winnipeg (Thursday, July 28)
Who saw this coming? The 0-4 Lions visit the 3-1 Bombers. But as the wise man once said: you're never as good as you look when you're winning, and you're never as bad as you look when you're losing.
Montreal @ Hamilton (Friday, July 29)
Anthony Calvillo's status is still up in the air for Friday. Personally, I'm wondering if Kevin Glenn will come back to earth.
Toronto @ Edmonton (Friday, July 29)
It just doesn't get any easier for Toronto. A tough early schedule hands them a 1-3 record, followed up by a visit to the 4-0 Esks. This could get messy.
Calgary @ Saskatchewan (Saturday, July 30)
Calgary may be ahead of the Saskatchewan in the stands, but the Stamps are still struggling to find their footing, and the 'Riders are coming off a tough win in Montreal. Early statement game for the guys in green?
Good luck!
