CFL Pick 'Em, Week 14 Old favourites are re-asserting themselves in the CFL's standings, while newcomers are becoming more and more entrenched in our standings' top spots. Make your picks inside.
Talk about your statement games! B.C. serves notice that it's back in the race for the West. Montreal serves notice that they can stand up to the other division. Calgary serves notice by tying the Roughriders for first place. Toronto serves notice that neither Don Matthews nor Cody Pickett are quick fixes. And Winnipeg serves notice that they can dominate Toronto one week and almost lose to Hamilton the next. Well, three out of four ain't bad.

tommytrump joins in the action by serving notice with a big five-point week. JPR duplicates the feat to finish his break from the pack and solidify his second-place standing. A middling performance from the rest of the pack is making them pretty small in the top three's rear-view mirror, but there are still lots of points to be had in the weeks ahead.

WEEK 14
Edmonton @ Winnipeg (Friday, September 26) This is a meeting between two teams which have both shown signs of both brilliance and futility. They're both playing for marbles, too: an Edmonton win could move them up into a tie for first, while a Winnipeg win could give them second place and crossover insurance.
Calgary @ Toronto (Saturday, September 27) Toronto replaced their coach and lost by thirty points. Then they replaced their starting QB and lost by thirty points. Maybe standing pat will result in a win. Maybe we can have a snowball fight in hell next week, too.
Hamilton @ B.C. (Saturday, September 27) Both of these teams have been rounding into their usual form. You've all been playing this long enough that you don't need me to say any more than that.
Saskatchewan @ Montreal (Sunday, September 28) The Riders are have lost two in a row AND their stranglehold on first place. They're vulnerable, and Montreal has a tendency to take advantage of vulnerable teams. But Saskatchewan isn't going to roll over: this is still a coin toss.
Good luck!
