Prediction Time: CFL.ca writers' Week 7 picks

TORONTO — Week 6 was, to put it gently, unkind to the pick makers.

The Montreal Alouettes’ undefeated (and 300-day-long winning streak) came to an end at the hands of the unpicked Toronto Argonauts. The Edmonton Elks — rested, at home and favourites to down the Ottawa REDBLACKS — found a way to let victory dribble out of bounds and onto the foot of Lewis Ward, who sunk them to 0-5 with a walk-off field goal win.

I agree with that Ottawa, Winnipeg, Toronto and British Columbia.

I was so close last week but Elks let me down so this week going with the home team and Edmonton has some work to do.

I will bet my cousin’s farm on it.

I am surprised slightly by the overwhelming picks for Winnipeg. Toronto and BC - as expected.

“There is a crack in everything.
That is the way the light gets in.”
The Elks can finally see the light.
This week we’ll see them get it right.

Bighill, Thomas, Wilson, Willie
The Riders gonna run them silly.
The Bomber foursome’s old & slow
The Rider D puts on a show.

The TiCats’ season starts this week.
Initial win is what they’ll seek.
The team this year is led by Bo.
But 'Cats again will stub their toe.

The Lions’ Hollins & McInnis.
Are really good from start to finish.
The Stamps don’t match up with this pair.
BC will lay their weakness bare.

Those guys in riderville figuring out things on behalf the saskatchewan roughriders ??? They now have another “OLD OVER PAID” Jamarcus Hardrick out long term this 2024 CFL season with injury to go along with their other “OLD OVER PAID” “always injured” quarterback Trevor Harris. Both “OLD PLAYERS” by the way are really raking in the big dollars for doing zilch since signing to play in riderville. But hey! that’s how the riders gm rolls - find “OLD PLAYERS AND OVER PAY” for “OLD PLAYER” services to sit on the sidelines doing absolutely nothing while raking in those large Benjamin $$$$$$$. By the way, Shea Patterson is not the answer as the rider qb moving forward along with the aforementioned “OLD MAN Harris”.

The Eskimos would win,
Elks losing wears thin.
On the road, Elks usually are bad,
A record of 6 losses are sad.
Eskimos are tough,
Elks not enough.
Fans admire the Eskimos resilience,
Fans are tired of Elks losing experience.
