CFL Pick 'Em, Week 18: With two weeks left, the league still has five playoff spots in contention, so plenty is on the line for these last eight games. Which is a good thing, because we have a dark horse emerging from the pack to challenge cixelsyd. Flip your coin and make your picks inside.

Also, an update on the surprisingly complete U.S. Broadcast Schedule: looks like NBC Sports is carrying the Toronto game, and ESPN3 has the others. If you can't bear to wait for next week's posts.

The favourites rule the weekend. Calgary gets it done in Edmonton to all but clinch. Despite struggles from Ricky Ray, Toronto scrapes out a win in Winnipeg to mathematically eliminate the Bombers. Saskatchewan puts on a strong show when it counts to consign the Lions to third place, while Hamilton can't come through when it counts, losing in Montreal to dim their division hopes.
Ying Yang Mafia follows up on his seven points last week with five this week, including two spreads nailed, presenting a fresh challenge to cixelsyd.
Nothing but divisional play from here on, which means there are about eight hundred possible outcomes for the season.
WEEK 18
Winnipeg @ Toronto (Thursday, October 24)
Toronto needs another win to clinch the division, and Winnipeg would seem to be an easy target. But that's what we thought last week, and the Argos were lucky to escape with a win.
Edmonton @ B.C. (Friday, October 25)
Welcome to the First Meaningless Bowl of 2013! Edmonton is long eliminated, and B.C. is stuck in third place. If you have a cousin who once played football somewhere for somebody, chances are they'll suit up for this game.
Montreal @ Hamilton (Saturday, October 26)
Here's where the intrigue lies. Hamilton needs to win out to have a chance at winning the division. But a Montreal win pushes them down into third place. Hamilton's been the stronger team, but are they falling apart when they can least afford to?
Saskatchewan @ Calgary (Saturday, October 26)
And here's the highlight of the weekend: Saskatchewan needs to win out in order to keep their division title hopes alive. A Calgary win seals the division for the Stamps. Saskatchewan's three-game win streak versus Calgary's four-gamer. Should be fun!
Good luck!
