CFL Pick 'Em, Week Nineteen: Two weeks to go and it's anybody's game. Huh? Oh! I was holding the scoresheet upside-down. Correction: two weeks to go and it's anybody's Costanza. rcade's already at home polishing his official CFL game balls. Grab your metaphors and make your picks inside.

Pulled within three of the Costanza by not playing last week (didn't have internet, phone, or uverse for three days, thanks to time warner making a trench and tearing up our lines. I don't even have time warner and hate them/lol.) So let's see if the defending champ can stay out of regulation.

What happened to my RedBlacks? As a long-suffering fan of some months I am bereft.

Look out, bender, your Costanza possibilities are in jeopardy.
Edmonton at Hamilton: Edmonton is the Eskimos and have dogsleds. Hamilton is the Tiger Cats. Cats don't pull no sleds; cats do what they wanna do; you don't tell no cats when to go and where to go. Hamilton by 9
Ottawa at Winnipeg: Blue Bombers will be repainted in a red and black color scheme. Ottawa by 6
BC at Saskatchewan: The large cats will cause the unhorsing of the Riders. BC by 17
Calgary at Montreal: The rampaging quadrupeds thunder into that most cosmopolitan of North American cities. Small birds take flight in fear -- with good reason. Calgary by 7

Hamilton comes up big in Ottawa, surging to tie in the fourth quarter and winning in OT. Despite Ricky Ray's return, Calgary just plain beat the Argos. Edmonton falls behind early and can't catch up as the Lions win a key playoff position game. And like we all drew it up back in June, Vernon Adams Jr. leads the Montreal Alouettes to victory.
Tough week for points, but bender's Virginia quarter is making things interesting, as both jags and Howard_T pull to within three points of the Costanza.
Some nice healthy inter-division play to help bulk up our point totals this week. That's very nice of the schedule-makers.
WEEK 19
Edmonton @ Hamilton (Friday, October 28)
Two teams desparate to move up in the standings. Hamilton needs a win to get into first, and Edmonton needs to win out if they don't want to cross over (or maybe they want to? we covered that last week). But Edmonton's probably better, so there's that.
Ottawa @ Winnipeg (Saturday, October 29)
Two teams hanging on for dear life: Winnipeg is barely hanging onto a home playoff spot, while Ottawa is just a point ahead of the Ti-Cats for first place. Winnipeg's the better team, but maybe desperation wins out.
B.C. @ Saskatchewan (Saturday, October 29)
Saskatchewan was on a nice little tear there for a while, but they lost a tough one to Montreal last week, and let's face it: B.C. is in the playoffs and the Riders aren't.
Calgary @ Montreal (Sunday, October 30)
If I was the Montreal Alouettes, I'd offer to forfeit the game if the Stamps bought the first round at Dieu du Ciel. This is one of the reasons why I'm not the Montreal Alouettes.
Good luck!
