CFL Pick 'Em, Week Six: It's back to a our regular four-pack, which means we might actually score some points this week instead of having to live off James Franklin jokes. Grab your leaded tins and make your picks inside.

Crap!!! Late again. Enjoying a good dinner (NY strip sirloins on the grill, Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar and garlic, salad, and a decent bottle of Chianti), and I completely forgot the pick 'em. I will put in a pick for Saskatchewan vs Hamilton, and if I am too late, so be it. Here are the picks.
Tigercats will defend the litter box. Hamilton by 8
Lions extended their claws last week, but traveling east could wear them down. The checkered shirts should prevail. Ottawa by 12
When the Golden Fleece is moored in the lake near Toronto, the Argonauts are happy at home. Toronto by 13
Little birds can't get out of the way of the uncontrollable quadrupeds. Calgary by 9

The battle of division leaders ends in a sad thud, namely the sound of Ottawa's lone field goal hitting the ground. The Franklin Expedition (copyright 2018 DrJohnEvans) makes a show of it in uncharted waters, but James can't quite complete the comeback and Edmonton wins by a point. And out west, holy crap B.C. wins!
Turns out a three-game week doesn't result in many points. Shoutout to jjzucal with 3 points to keep the Costanza race interesting.
This week's narratives nearly wrote themselves, but I still had to step in at the last minute.
WEEK 6
Saskatchewan @ Hamilton (Thursday, July 19)
Two 2-2 teams trying to shape a narrative. But the Riders have been overperforming their Pythagorean record, while Hamilton's been underperforming theirs.
B.C. @ Ottawa (Friday, July 20)
If B.C. played in the East they'd be tied for first. That probably says more about the East than it does about the Lions.
Winnipeg @ Toronto (Saturday, July 21)
Is this right? Winnipeg has scored more points than anyone in the league, by far, but still has a losing record.
Montreal @ Calgary (Saturday, July 21)
Calgary is still unbeaten, and maybe this isn't quite the week to bet against that streak.
Good luck!
