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

Week seven of the CFL season was probably the strangest so far.

The week started normal with the Ottawa Redblacks beating the Edmonton Elks 20-14, but the next game was un-CFL-like. In an usual point-heavy league, the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 19-9 in a game that featured seven field goals. On Saturday, the Hamilton TigerCats got their first win of the season, beating Montreal 27-24 while Calgary upset the B.C. Lions 25-24.

As for us, we both had the same results as the previous week. Jordy went 2/3, including winning the head-to-head match-up, improving to 14/21 on the season and 5-2 in the head-to-head. Meanwhile, Bowen went 0-3 and is now 12/21 on the campaign.
