3 Downs, 3 Picks is a weekly CFL video breaking down news around the league and previewing the week ahead.

Just like that, it is Labour Day weekend across the CFL. 

Before we preview week 13, let's see what happened in week 12.

  • It took a walk-off rouge point, but the Toronto Argonauts defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders, 20-19;
  • The Winnipeg Blue Bombers won over the worst team in the league, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, after a touchdown from Bombers receiver Kenny Lawler with 20 seconds left gave Winnipeg the 26-23 victory;
  • The B.C. Lions lost their fifth straight game, 34-27 to the Ottawa Redblacks after a 390 yard passing performance from QB Dru Brown;
  • And despite a game attempt from the Edmonton Elks, the Montreal Alouettes remained the best team in the league, by beating Edmonton, 21-17.

As for us, Bowen has now had two straight perfect weeks, as his 3/3 performance now has him at 22/33 on the year. Jordy went 1/3 as he too is 22/33 throughout the year. In the head-to-head, another victory for Bowen now has him one away from tying it up, as it is six wins for Jordy, five for Bowen and one pesky tie.
