3 Downs, 3 Picks: Previewing week 16 of the CFL season

Black Press Media's Jordy Cunningham and Bowen Assman will be making weekly videos staying up-to-date in the CFL and giving weekly picks throughout the entire season
week-16
3 Downs, 3 Picks is a weekly CFL video breaking down news around the league and previewing the week ahead.

It's that time of week again, it's week 16 of the CFL and were back to a full four-game slate this week.

But before we get to what we think will happen for week 16, let's take a look back at last week: 

  • The return of Nathan Rourke hasn’t been as electric as expected so far, as he was benched after the first half as the BC Lions fell to the Toronto Argonauts, 33-17;
  • In the shock of the week, the Hamilton Tigercats held the Ottawa Redblacks to just six points in the first half, on their way to a 37-21 win;
  • Two ties in one seasons? Yes somehow, some way it happened as the Calgary Stampeders tied the league-best Montreal Allouettes, 19-19. 

As for us, Jordy went a rare 0/3 and is now 26/45 on the season while Bowen once again went 1/3 and is 24/45 on the campaign. Bowen's one win of the week was in the head-to-head match-up, but Jordy still leads 8-6 plus a tie.

Now let's get to week 16:
