  • Grey Cup Picks

    The Grey Cup. Stampeders against Alouettes. The momentous conclusion. Enough preamble, let's do this: Andy Baechler (46-30) Jack Bedell (44-32) D.J. Bennett (45-31) Bob Coatsworth (46-30) Derek Jory (45-31) Jann Shreve (46-30) Calgary vs. Montreal BACK'EM UP Each week we ask someone to back up their picks. But we're talking Grey Cup here and everyone has an opinion. Andy - Alouettes - With both Henry Burris and Anthony Calvillo performing at the top of their games, I look for the play...

  • Division Final Picks

    Shame on all of us. Doesn't this seem to happen every year? The league gets very predictable down the final stretch of the regular season and then WHAM!! The playoffs arrive and things don't make sense anymore. Playing favourites and taking home teams doesn't pay when it comes to the CFL playoffs. Remember last year when Winnipeg went into Toronto as a touchdown underdog and stunned the Argos while they pined for a Grey Cup appearance in their own building? Or what about the Riders grinding...

  • Division Semi-Final Picks

    The playoffs are here. And this Saturday, following a season where the football has been played closer than it has in years, really anything could happen. We could easily have an 8-10 team move onto the Division Finals. In fact, the Bombers are listed as two-and-a-half-point favourites over the Eskimos. And while the Lions face going into the madhouse that is Mosaic Stadium, they've gone there before and won. The last three times to be exact. A look at our semi-final selections reiterates that...

  • Week 19 Pick The Winners

    Well here we are, it's the final week of the regular season and just two games separate the six of us now veteran CFL prognosticators.The last week of the season is always a little strange as playoff implications impact the way teams decide to play out the string. You can tell by the variety this week, that we're all taking some calculated risks in order to try to come out on top, so with the regular-season picks title is on the line, here are our Week 19 selections: Andy Baechler (40-28...

  • Week 16 Pick The Winners

    The feel of some potential upsets in Week 15 turned out to haunt us as Montreal was stunned 44-38 by the Ticats, while Calgary lost by a field goal in Regina. Now that the CFL market has undergone its late-season correction, the final month of regular-season football should be easier to handicap. After going 11-13 combined last week, it doesn't look like our faith has wavered much in where the strength is in the league. There's a few contrary opinions sprinkled in, but we continue to have...

  • Week 15 Pick The Winners

    Week 15 has a scary feel. With Kerry Joseph going back under centre in Toronto, and B.C. and Calgary riding hot streaks against cold opponents, there just seems to be potential for some major upsets. Regardless, there's hardly been any debate over winners here for the last few weeks and this week's picks are no different as only D.J. has strayed from the pack mentality. Here are our Week 15 selections: Andy Baechler (29-23) Jack Bedell (29-23) D.J. Bennett (29-23) Bob Coatsworth (28-24) Derek...

BACK'EM UP Each week we ask someone to back up their selections. I'll do the honours this week. I certainly don't deserve it. My 18-22 record is horrendous, but at this point we need to get the picks up. For the record, D.J. was going...
