CFL Pick 'Em, Week 19: Guys, this is crazy. With five teams tied for first place heading into the last week of the season, it's only appropriate that we have a shocking tie for first in our little Pick 'Em. Screw your courage to the sticking-place and make your picks inside.

DrJ - can you check last week's points ... appears I picked BC and the spread but points are listed as 0.

DrJ ... checked and you did add 2 points to my total (had 47 last week)

Sorry cixelsyd. You did get two points. Your "this week" points should be 2, but yeah, your total is correct.

THE FINAL WEEK! There should be some intense battles for playoff positioning.
I'm pickin' my guys to beat the pussy cats... even without Jyles. Argos by 2
Rider pride for the departing coach will only carry them so far... Eskes by 4
Bomber swag has been knocked down somewhat, Stampeders confidence is growing... Stamps by 6
Larks are limping more than Lions, but home field for playoffs that makes players search inside themselves. However, Lions by a field goal.
Based on my predictions, Bombers will host the East division championship against Larks that will knock out T Cats the week before. Lions will host the West against Stamps that will have upset the Eskes the week before.

Breaking news! Dalton Bell gets the start for the Argos tonight.

Last week of the season, and NOTHING is settled.
I don't know, DrJ, I think I have the Costanza wrapped up!
That being stated, here we go with my Week 19 picks:
Hamilton by 13
Edmonton by 13
Calgary by 13
British Columbia by 13

Sorry owlhouse and rumple: the Toronto game was last night at 8:00pm so I can't allow your picks for that game.
However, rumple and Reever are still tied for first!

oh dang. Shows how closely I follow the CFL!

You assume, Sir, that I have access to CFL information where I'm currently residing, and that I would use said information to gain an unfair advantage.
Come here and say that.

The King of Spain is funding my visit. I'm hiring my fleet now and should be there in about 3 years.

We were without electrical power from last Saturday evening until about noon on Thursday. Since then, I've been quite busy trying to sort out all of the downed tree limbs, clean up the yard, defrost the freezer and toss out a lot of food, and keep the wife from finding anything else for me to do. CFL picks are out the window for me this week. 10 inches of heavy, wet snow in October, when there are still leaves on the trees, is not a good thing. I've lost a nice maple, a promising hickory, and half of my wife's pet Korean dogwood. Son and I will be making a lot of dump runs this week.

Hey Howard_T sorry to hear about your many weather related issues... What a Bummer! Hope things get ship shape soon.
4 days without power must have been quite challenging!

Toronto rides a rare offensive outburst to notch an upset in Winnipeg. Saskatchewan shuts the door against Hamilton to get back up off the mat. B.C. regains the momentum in the West Division race, but Calgary shouts "Hey, don't forget about me!" in Montreal.
Tough week for points, but rumple scores the two that matter. He completes the comeback and ties Reever for first, going into the last week of the season. Yikes!
Last week of the season, and NOTHING is settled. Seriously, check out these standings. Five teams across two divisions are tied for first with a 10-7 record. Yikes!
WEEK 19
Hamilton @ Toronto (Thursday, November 3)
This is the only game which won't have an effect on playoff position. While Hamilton may rest its starters, the Argonauts are still very much playing for jobs next year.
Saskatchewan @ Edmonton (Friday, November 4)
Another intriguing tilt. Saskatchewan is also playing for pride, but Edmonton has a home playoff date (and possibly even a bye) in the balance.
Winnipeg @ Calgary (Saturday, November 5)
This is where things start to get interesting. Both teams are playing for first place in their division, and the first-round bye. Neither team is even thinking of fielding scrubs.
Montreal @ B.C. (Saturday, November 5)
See above.
Good luck!
