CFL Pick 'Em, Week Sixteen: Two key talking points this weekend: it's Canadian Thanksgiving, and my computer broke. So we have no standings, but we have lots and lots of maple turkey. Pull up a chair and make your picks inside.

Late again. Do I have to stay after school to make it up? Only missed one game, so the damage is limited. Let's see what sort of catastrophe we can concoct from the rest of the picks.
BC at Winnipeg: Lions would seem to have a bit of an edge here, but the game is at the Bombers' airport. Looks like the Lions will have to travel with the rest of the pets -- in a crate in the cargo bay. Winnipeg by 6
Edmonton at Montreal: Eskimos in the big city go hunting for birds. They will feast. Edmonton by 16
Calgary at Toronto: The Stampeders head to another of the big cities looking to run roughshod over a hapless group of sailors. The only fleece these Argonauts will see is on the blankets covering their remains. Calgary by 14
Dr. John, a screwdriver, duct tape, 5-minute epoxy, and a can of gasoline can fix anything. Get to work on that computer.

My computer is fixed, and in even better news, it was covered under a recall/repair program. Hooray! Here are the Week 15 standings:

Technical difficulties (my computer broke) have prevented me from updating the standings, so I have no idea how many points you have. But my faithful repair shop should have me back in play by next week. Thanks for bearing with me!
This week it's the most hallowed of international traditions: Canadian Thanksgiving. You should absolutely take Monday off work for beers and football double headers. Refer your boss to me if any questions.
WEEK 16
Saskatchewan @ Ottawa (Friday, October 7)
Ottawa's hanging on to their first-place standing by the slimmest of margins. Saskatchewan may be 3-10, but they've won twice in a row - and hey, they're only 2-3 against the East.
B.C. @ Winnipeg (Saturday, October 8)
A critical game for playoff positioning. Winnipeg's lost a couple of tough ones, but B.C. hasn't exactly been putting much distance between the two teams. A Bomber win and we've got a second-place tie.
Edmonton @ Montreal (Monday, October 10)
Edmonton's cruising in the crossover spot, making themselves at home in the East. By halftime in this one the Esks will be rearranging the furniture.
Calgary @ Toronto (Monday, October 10)
Toronto is in the middle of a panicked shakeup to try to rescue the season. Will it help against Calgary? Almost certainly not.
