TORONTO -- Two weeks remain on the schedule and it's still anyone's game in the CFL.ca writer picks.

Jamie Nye remains first, followed by Vicki Hall, who is one game back from him, and Kristina Costabile, who is three games back from the leader.

Will Vicki or Kristina catch Jamie this week?

Let's find out who all of the writers are picking in Week 20.

TORONTO AT OTTAWA

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 7:00 P.M. ET TSN, CFL+

Toronto was on a Week 19 bye and are coming back from their Mobil Thanksgiving Weekend break with good news on the injury front as quarterback Chad Kelly was a full participant to start the week of practice. The Argos know they will be hosting the Eastern Semi-Final on October 31 and will use the final two weeks of the regular season to do any fine tuning before the winner-takes-all matchup. Ottawa has yet to win a game this season, sitting 0-16, and will be looking to get their first win of the year. Only Matt thinks that Ryan Dinwiddie's team will secure the two points.

WRITERS' PICK: 80% Toronto

WINNIPEG AT EDMONTON

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 9:30 P.M. ET TSN, CFL+

Winnipeg is looking to clinch a playoff spot. Edmonton is looking to lock up first in the division. The Edmonton Elks are coming off a win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and will hope to build on that at home. Winnipeg is fresh off a big win as well, with Zach Collaros returning to the lineup and having one of his best games of the season. This contest means a lot to both teams, so who comes out on top? The writers are undecided.

WRITERS' PICK: 60% Winnipeg

MONTREAL AT SASKATCHEWAN

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 3:00 P.M. ET TSN, RDS, CTV, CRAVE, CFL+

The second half of the home-and-home between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes will be this week's Saturday afternoon contest. Montreal defeated the Riders last week and already have their playoff fate decided, as the Als will host the Eastern Final on November 7. Saskatchewan, on the other hand, has lost four in a row and are still fighting for their playoff lives. A Saskatchewan win and either a Calgary or Winnipeg loss means the Riders lock up a playoff spot. With the Riders having a bit more to play for than the Als, all of the writers are going with the home team.

WRITERS' PICK: 100% Saskatchewan

BC AT CALGARY

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 7:00 P.M. ET TSN, CFL+

The BC Lions are the hottest team in the CFL right now, winning nine of their last 10 contests. They now sit in second in the West Division, just four points back of the division leaders, Edmonton. Calgary dropped their Mobil Thanksgiving Weekend game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last week and now find themselves in last place in the division. It'll be another big game for both teams as BC looks to clinch a home playoff game (a Lions win or Winnipeg loss will secure this) and Calgary hopes to keep their playoff dreams alive in their final game of the regular season. Almost all of the experts think the Leos will keep their winning streak alive.
