On the heels of another upset in the CFL comes THIS little gem!

From the CFL stats gurus themselves: The season has been SO unpredictable that...

...eight of nine teams have either two or three wins.
...five weeks of games have had three overtimes: as many as the last four YEARS combined!
...the CFL Pick'Em contestants (all 13,ooo of them!) have a collective six correct picks out of the first 20 games! (Which should now be 6 of 21, as BC was upset by Winnipeg tonight!)
...55% of the first five weeks of games (11 of 20) have been within four points!

SO...we don't feel so bad here at Following Football being 10-10 so far this year! (OK, 10-11...we had BC winning tonight, too...)

By the way, here are last week's finals, if you didn't already look 'em up:
Ottawa upset Calgary 29-26; Toronto managed to beat BC in Vancouver 30-27; Edmonton wiped out Winnipeg 32-3; and Hamilton went to Saskatchewan and made them 0-5, winning 31-21 (it was close until the last few minutes, though, tied in the fourth). 

And, for all the good it does!, here's FF's calls for this weekend's remaining games:
We like Edmonton over Saskatchewan by eight; Montreal over Calgary (without their leading rusher Jon Cornish) by four; and Toronto by two at Hamilton. 

(Therefore, you should probably bet on the Riders, Stamps, and TiCats...)
