Our Take: Real or Hot Streak?
For real: Shane Mickle
Mickle has owned the CFL board. Winning better than two of every three across 57 plays is rare in any sport, and he finished more than $700 clear of second place.
For real: David Racey
Racey put in the most volume of anyone at 81 plays and still won six of every ten. That is a steady, repeatable number, not a lucky week.
Solid but modest: Sean Murphy and Brian Bitler
Both finished in the profit at about 55%, with 38 and 45 plays. Neither ran away with it, but both made money backing a full slate.
Too small to judge: PickDawgz TopDawgz
One play and one win. It counts, but it tells you nothing yet.
Trending Up and Down
Up: Mickle and Racey are the only two CFL handicappers over $1,000 this season.
Down: Rodd Zawacky is right at .500 at 11-11 and barely holding onto a profit.
How We Rank CFL Handicappers
Profit decides the order, not win rate. A few lucky picks can produce a big percentage, but dollars won over a full season show who was actually worth following. Every play is a $100 base bet, and losses stay on the books.
Sample size matters too: under about 25 plays, treat a record as a first impression, not a verdict.
