Canadian Football League Week # 19 Picks

CFL WEEK # 19 PICKS

Riders Vs Argos

The Riders looked amazing last week. However, wind condition will be different inside
the dome. Will the Don end the season without a win? The Riders are playing for
a home playoff date.

Riders by 10

Als Vs Eskimos

Back up Brady gets his chance (maybe) The Eskimos were spanked hard last week
and will want to knock off the Als with a possible East division final match coming
later.

Eskimos by 6

Ti-Cats Vs Bombers

The Bombers are dealing with some injuries and may rest a few players but they
should be able to still pick up the win.

Bombers by 4

Lions Vs Stamps
It what could be a big game for the Lions ( if the Riders win) look for the Stamps
to still send a message.

Toronto, ON (October 28, 2008) -The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today the team nominees for the 2008 Gibson's Finest CFL Player Awards. The players were selected by voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) and the CFL head coaches.

"On behalf of our Board of Governors, our teams and our fans from across the country, we congratulate the nominees on this honour, and wish them our best as the divisional nominees, and league-wide winners, are named in the weeks ahead."
