Congrats to 7 who got 2 out of 2 correct this week, theaardvark, TecnoGenius, blue or die, Bluehawk, 55StickCar, GOLDMEMBER and Blitzer!
There is 1 game only to pick next week which is the Grey Cup between our Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes on Sunday, November 19th.
Looks like TBURGESS has won the pickems this year, I'll confirm with ModAdmin and he can officially verify next week.
Bluehawk, we did it! LOL Too little too late. :'(
Congrats TBURG; superb final score (we'll assume you'll get the GC right). I'll head over to Riderfans later to see if you beat their top guy.
Victor, Victor, you need to pick MTL to have a shot! ;) ;)
Congrats to TBURGESS!
Confirming that TBURGESS is the winner of the 2023 Pickems contest. The Kenny Lawler jersey (autographed) will be awarded following the Grey Cup game.
Congratulations TB and, again, much appreciation to Barbk for managing the contest again this year. Onward to the Grey Cup!
Yes, nicely done TB. Congratulations.
Congrats to TBURGESS....well done. Not sure how I missed some games as I was determined this year to be in on all the game predictions....next year
Thank you one and all.
Got 45 last season, so +2 overall. Congrats TB and Barbk for keeping it going!
Yup, thanks barbk! No other forum gets the pickems tallied so quickly. And the last-minute cut off warnings are a nice touch, allowing the perennially slow to get their picks in (I won't mention any names, cough cough).
Maybe TBURG can give us all a quick explanation of his winning strategy? Me... my long-shot strategy was pretty awful... stay away from that one. :'( ;) Oh ya, and thinking OTT and EDM were going to do something for the first half a season. That was dumb. There's a reason Riderfans has a multi-year multi-thousand post thread called "Elks Lose Again".
Thanks barbk you rock!
TBurg just got lucky. :)
Congrats TBurg, I blame my demise on the pathetic Stamps! Not once did they step up and play to their potential even when they played the Bombers B-team, pathetic losers rate lower than the Elks!

Well, I'm all for ABC, but CGY was the only team to beat a "real/full" TOR team in the regular season. 20-7 in week 9. They also beat full-stength BC to ruin their home WDF hopes.
CGY was a bit of an enigma this year. I'm still not sure what to make of them. I think their HC let them down many games with bad decisions, and they aren't hiring good enough players. I think it's time for them to promote a new HC.
A quick explanation of my winning strategy... pick the right teams week after week. ;D
Congrats Tburg and thanks barbk for running this all season!
Congrats TB; I thought I might catch up at the end of the season, but it was not to be. Maybe next year :)
Congrats, TBurg!
Riderfans top player beat ours by 1 point. However, it can end in a tie with TBURG if he picks the GC wrong. ... or not, looks like Wags picked WPG.

In any event, it's no surprise the greenies beat us because they have at least double the regular pickem players. The other 2 of the top 3 guys there haven't made their picks yet. But it's heartening to see that their top picker picks us. You know all those greenies are loathe to pick WPG for anything.
So far it's about 50/50 MTL/WPG picks on their site. Again, that's a positive thing since many will pick MTL out of spite.
I'm 3 points behind 1st on that other Bomber site, so one Bomber fan beat the Riders best.
