Going into the second last week of the CFL season, the playoff picture is almost all set. All teams are locked in but there could be a seeding changes.

Here's what happened in week 19:

  • A fourth quarter touchdown by Winnipeg wasn’t enough as the Toronto Argonauts ending the Blue Bombers winning streak, winning 14-11 and clinching their final playoff spot;
  • Edmonton scored a touchdown with 70 seconds left to beat the rival Calgary Stampeders 23-18;
  • The Lions stink… they got crushed by Saskatchewan 38-9 and Bowen should’ve made his best bet the Nathan Rourke interception he was talking about.
  • And like they have all season, Montreal took care of business beating Ottawa 19-12.

As for us, Jordy went 2/3 in his selections while Bowen went 1/3. Jordy is now 32/57 on the season while Bowen is 28/57. Meanwhile, Jordy won the head-to-head match-up, clinching the regular season match-up. He's up 11-7 with one tie.

Here's our thoughts for week 20:
