I haven’t heard any mention of it but tonight’s Bombers v Argos tilt is likely the last ever football game that will be played at SkyDome (I’ll never accept Rogers Centre). The Argos will finish third, meaning no home playoff game. Next year’s Grey Cup (and all the ones after that in TO) will be…
Week 20 Picks Mercifully the end of the regular season is here. Traditionally the last week of the season is mostly meaningless and this season has proved no exception. It closes with the Bombers, Argos, Lions, Stamps, Als and Eskies all playing their third exhibition game of the year. Winnipeg @ Toronto: Friday, November 6 (7:30pm EDT)…
Week 19 Picks I can’t believe we are still talking about an eastern crossover… BC @ Toronto (actually in Toronto!): Friday, October 30 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Toronto Apparently Ricky Ray is going to start, still I’d say there is potential for an upset here. Saskatchewan @ Calgary: Saturday, October 23, (10:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary The leagues free space visits Calgary,…
Week 18 Picks It’s the home stretch and amazingly three horrible teams still have a chance at the playoffs. Montreal @ Toronto (Hamilton): Friday, October 23 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Toronto Keeeeeevinnnnnnnnnn. Keeeeeeevinnnnnnnnn. Hamilton @ BC: Friday, October 23, (10:00pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton This is going to be closer than at first glance. I wouldn’t be surprised if BC took…
My reign of terror is near! Battle plans will be drawn up at The Arrow and Loon – 99 Fifth Ave @ 6pm. Bring your gifts of bear to the north stands, sec DD, row 22 or taste my lightening!
Week 17 Picks Three teams are duking it out for the last playoff spot in the West. The battle has the feel of a trio of banjo picking inbreds hitting each other with pieces of string. Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Friday, October 16 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa Nichols has beat Ottawa twice already this year but that was…
Week 16 Picks Saskatchewan @ Hamilton: Friday, October 9 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton. Edmonton @ Calgary: Saturday, October 10, (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary Winnipeg @ BC: Saturday, October 10, (10:00pm EDT) Pick: BC Toronto @ Montreal: Sunday, October 11 (1:00pm EDT) Pick: Toronto Last week 4-0. Season 36-24
Week 15 Picks After week 14 we know this much is true: the league is conspiring against the Blue Bombers. Montreal @ Ottawa: Thursday, October 1 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa Ottawa plays Montreal well, I expect them to contend for second spot in the East. Calgary @ Hamilton: Friday, October 2, (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Calgary No Zach, no win for Hamilton. Edmonton @ Winnipeg:…
Week 14 Picks Is the season over yet Bomber fans? Calgary @ Winnipeg: Friday, September 25 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Calgary Ha! With Zach out for the year Calgary may go unchallenged for the Cup. Sigh. BC @ Edmonton: Saturday, September 26, (4:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton BC should pose no significant difficulties. Toronto @ Ottawa: Saturday, September 26, (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Ottawa Wow,…
*EDIT: This was posted late but written on time. Week 13 Picks Lucky 13 this week. BC @ Calgary: Friday, September 18 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Calgary It’s an upset any other way. Edmonton @ Hamilton: Saturday, September 19, (4:00pm EDT) Pick: Hamilton Sure, Edmonton is looking better but only one team has ever been victorious at THF. Ottawa @…
