CFL PICKS: WEEK 15

Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts

Friday, 7 p.m.

At Toronto, Calgary (8-4) chases a fourth straight win with Bo Levi Mitchell under centre. Mitchell threw for 342 yards in last weekend’s 19-18 home win over Hamilton but defensive back Tre Roberson clinched the victory by blocking a Ticats’ field goal try with 32 seconds remaining. The Argos (2-9) were on a bye week following their 46-17 road win over Ottawa on Sept. 7, but are 1-4 this season at BMO Field. McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw for 411 yards and three TDs versus the Redblacks and is second in CFL passing with 3,004 yards.

Pick: Calgary

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Edmonton Eskimos

Friday, 9:30 p.m.

At Edmonton, Hamilton (9-3) plays the second of three straight road games against West Division rivals after dropping a heartbreaking decision in Calgary. The East Division leaders will clinch a playoff spot with a win or tie or Ottawa loss or tie against B.C. While the Ticats haven’t won at McMahon Stadium since ’04, they claimed a 38-21 victory at Commonwealth Stadium last season. If Trevor Harris (upper body) can’t play, backup Logan Kilgore will be tasked with helping the Eskimos (6-6) snap a three-game losing streak.

Pick: Hamilton

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes

Saturday, 4 p.m.

Winnipeg head coach Mike O’Shea said he saw a different Andrew Harris on Tuesday as the Winnipeg Blue Bomber running back returns after serving a two-game suspension following a positive drug test to face the Montreal Alouettes. “He’s pissed off,” O’Shea told reporters. “He’s not in any mood to chat and he’s not just going to exchange pleasantries.” The challenge for Montreal’s defence will be containing Winnipeg’s rushing game and forcing the Bombers to pass. The West Division leaders are ranked last in the CFL in passing (205.1 yards per game). Montreal counters with an offence, led by quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., that’s ranked second overall in rushing (126.3 yards per game) and third in offensive points (24.5).

Pick: Winnipeg

B.C. Lions at Ottawa Redblacks

Saturday, 7 p.m.

At Ottawa, B.C. (2-10) looks for the homeand-home sweep. Mike Reilly threw for 286 yards and two TDs while running for two more in last week’s 29-5 victory at B.C. Place, the Lions’ first win there this season. More importantly, Reilly wasn’t sacked for the first time this year and Brandon Rutley ran for a game-high 111 yards on 20 carries. Jonathon Jennings, returning to Vancouver for the first time, completed 19-of-31 passes for 239 yards with two interceptions for the struggling Redblacks (3-9), who’ve lost five straight. Pick: B.C.

Last week: 3-0.

Overall: 38-15.
