3 Downs, 3 Picks is a weekly CFL show by Bowen Assman and Jordy Cunningham.

Time flies, doesn't it? It's been an amazing year in the CFL but all of a sudden, we've reached the final week of the regular season.

Here's what happened in week 20:

  • Vernon Adams Jr. was the spark the Lions needed, throwing for 385 yards and two touchdowns as the Lions handled Montreal 27-3;
  • Toronto did everything they could to fumble last week’s contest against Ottawa, as they allowed 25 points in the fourth quarter but still somehow held on to win 38-31;
  • And the Hamilton Tigercats cruised to a win in the Bo-Levi Mitchell revenge game as he threw for 450 yards and five touchdowns against his old squad as Hamilton destroyed Calgary, 42-20.

As for us, Jordy went 1/3 while Bowen went 2-3. Jordy is now 33/60 on the year while Bowen is now 30/60 with just one week to go. Also in our head-to-head match-up, Bowen won this week but Jordy already won the season. He's now up 11-8 plus a tie, going into the final week.

Here's what we think about the final week of the regular season:
