Two thirds into the year already.  Where has the time gone?  Edmonton is certainly doomed for the season but there are a few optimists in Winnipeg who still have the playoff glint in their eyes. Everyone else is jockeying for home field advantage. Hamilton (5-5) @ Calgary (8-2): Friday, September 13 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary It won’t…

What comes after Labour Day?  The second half of a couple home-and-homes, just like every week in the 2013 season.  This week there’s a couple of tough picks to make given the results of last.  The point spread isn’t very large in a couple either… Calgary (7-2) @ Edmonton (1-8): Friday, September 6 (9:00pm EDT)…

How many quarterbacks went down last week?  All of them?  Seemed like it anyhow.  When that happens everyone’s picks get screwed.  They year of the backup continues this week.  LABOUR DAY WEEKEND IS HERE! Hamilton (4-4) @ BC (5-3): Friday, August 30 (10:00pm EDT) Pick: BC Is Hamilton on the rise or just benefiting from…

You were unanimous in your condemnation of my pick of Hamilton over Winnipeg last week.  As bad as I felt it had to be done and I can assure you being correct did not take the sting out of that loss.  You’re not going to like this week’s picks any better. BC (5-2) @ Montreal…

Bye weeks are over!  Back to the full gamut of games! Hamilton (2-4) @ Winnipeg (1-5): Friday, August 16 (8:00pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton Two horribly awful teams battle it out for a playoff spot?  Only in the CFL.  This could be the most evenly matched game of the week but that doesn’t mean it will…

That’s right all of The Blue Bastard’s football picks are FREE!  Just like the featured image says.  Why are they free?  Because I’ve been terrible so far this season and you wouldn’t pay even if I were 22-0.  If you are the type of person who wants to hand your money over for them you…

Whomever came up with the idea of a bye week should be shot.  Only two games this week and next?! Disgusting. Hamilton (1-4) @ Edmonton (1-4): Friday, August 2 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton Edmonton had the win last week and then botched it. Hamilton is way too banged up and feeble.  Take the home team.…

Updated with the rest of this week’s picks. Last week went exactly as planned.  This week should be fairly predictable as well with the exception of the Winnipeg/Calgary game where it’s likely the battle of the backups. Edmonton (1-3) @ Montreal (1-3): Thursday, July 25 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Montreal The Larks almost buried Calgary before…

Last week wasn’t exactly a showcase of well executed technical football.  It ended with losing records for five teams, including the whole Eastern Division.  Is it the battle for first or the battle of the basement this week?  At least one team in the East will set themselves apart (hint: Argo-snots) and the others will…

Week 2 was probably a write off if you were playing pro-line but if you were watching then it was great week to be a fan of the CFL.
