CFL Pick 'Em, Week 11: It's the second half of the Labour Day home-and-home, and you'd better hope that you do better than last week. The first step, as they say, is to make your picks inside.

Well, well, well, somehow I have managed to stumble along and remain in contention. This has to be far too easy for a total ignoramus like me to do anything positive. At risk of personal embarrassment, I go on fearlessly.
Calgary rides into Edmonton. Having already clinched the championship of the Province of Alberta, Edmonton tries for the sweep. They will get it. Eskimos by 11.
BC hosts Toronto, while hoping to repeat their success on the shores of Lake Ontario. Burrard Inlet will be a suitable body of water for BC. Lions win by 6.
Tiger Cats travel down the lake and the river to Montreal. Someone has been spiking the cat food with energy pills lately, and Hamilton will catch the Alouettes. Hamilton by 3.
Saskatchewan at Winnipeg is a tough one to call. Besides that, neither one is on a significantly large body of water to include in my comments. I'll just close my eyes, throw the dart, and call Winnipeg to win by 5.

I missed last night's, but I didn't see a score either. Doesn't count, but I'll guess anyway.
Edmonton by 11

Toronto can't get it started against B.C., which finishes off Cleo Lemon's tenure with the Argos. Ken Miller returns as head coach to lead the 'Riders to victory at home. In a Labour Day stunner, Hamilton just plain romps Montreal, while Edmonton polishes off Calgary to reclaim first place.
Tough week for points, but apoch and Howard_T each score two to create a nice logjam for second place.
What's better than Labour Day? The annual post-Labour-Day home-and-home finishing up. (It needs a better name though.)
WEEK 11
Calgary @ Edmonton (Friday, September 9)
Calgary lost their chance to hang onto first place last week, and Commonwealth Stadium is a tough place to regain your mojo. Odds are good for an Esks sweep.
Toronto @ B.C. (Saturday, September 10)
Steven Jyles is the wild card here. Can he come off the DL and reverse Toronto's fortunes?
Hamilton @ Montreal (Sunday, September 11)
The Als are smarting after last week, and you know they'll be looking for revenge in the cozy confines of le State Molson.
Saskatchewan @ Winnipeg (Sunday, September 11)
Another win combined with a B.C. loss puts Saskatchewan in the running for the playoffs. This is their chance for the turnaround, but against the resurgent Bombers, it won't be easy.
Good luck!
