CFL Pick 'Em, Week 9: Back to a full slate of games this week. Nice to have points again, eh? Especially for Reever, who grabs a share of the lead. Stretch your counting fingers and make your picks inside.

So many games! Hamilton seems to find itself in Winnipeg. Montreal comes close, but gets no cigar in Saskatchewan. B.C. comes up big at home against the Stamps, while Toronto holds off a late surge by the Esks.

Reever notches five solid points to pull into a tie for first place. How 'bout that?

It's the halfway point of the seasonwell, since the season is an odd number of weeks, the halfway point will be somewhere on Saturday morning. So there's that.

WEEK 9

B.C. @ Montreal (Thursday, August 22)
Two teams that got off to a tough start. Montreal looked better last week, but B.C. seemed to find its groove a few weeks ago. Give the Lions an edge, even on the road.

Calgary @ Toronto (Friday, August 23)
This matchup looks dead even: two 5-2 teams with matching Pythangorean records. Calgary may still be haunted by memories of their last visit to the 'Dome, though.

Winnipeg @ Hamilton (Saturday, August 24)
Somehow these two teams have played each other 46 times this year, and still only have four wins between them.

Saskatchewan @ Edmonton (Saturday, August 24)
Will you bet the streak? The Riders are the heavyweight, but Edmonton's gotta be due for some breaks, right?

Good luck!

UPDATE: Anthony Calvillo is out with a concussion and will miss Thursday's game. Yikes.

In related news, an old ultimate buddy of mine published a children's book. Here's a video of Anthony Calvillo reading it.
