Another .500 week for me.  A-Rad went against the Argos, so he's two games ahead.  On to the picks:

Rusty's Picks:

BC at Winnipeg

Signs that you're tired: When asked who the Bombers back-up QB is, you enthusiastically respond with "Brian Ah-Yat!"

Pick: BC

Saskatchewan at Edmonton

I know I'm probably the only person who cares about things like this, but couldn't the Esks spring for actual uniforms for the players to wear in their bio photos?  Poor Ricky Ray looks like he's been photo graphed for one of those "custom football cards" you see at fairs and exhibitions.

Pick: Edmonton

Toronto at Hamilton

The only reason for CFL fans outside of Southern Ontario to waste a beautiful summer afternoon or evening in front of the TV for this one is Matt Dunigan's commentary on cheerleader-gate.  "Jock, cheerleading in the CFL is about having courage, professionalism, and most importantly, loyalty.  When you turn your back on your team, you're turning your back on yourself, Jock."

Pick: Toronto

Montreal at Calgary

Montreal is already 5 games ahead of my Argos. And yet, that's still not the most disturbing sports-related news of the week.

Pick: Montreal

A-Rad's Picks

BC at Winnipeg

Wally Buono does not, under any circumstances, want you to consume cholesterol. But running onto the field when you're so badly concussed that you're blacking out? No worries.

I'm kind of curious to watch this game, if only to find out how TSN's game crew fills the 97% of airtime it normally spends talking about Milt Stegall.

Pick: BC

Saskatchewan at Edmonton

Danny Maciocia on his future: "It's not a God-given right to coach here, and I'm not going to be here for the next 20 years. I don't even know if I want to do this for the next 20 years. And if it's not going to be here, it's going to be elsewhere."

Anybody else starting to understand why the Eskimos have looked a little confused this year?

Pick: Saskatchewan

Toronto at Hamilton

Rumour has it that R. Jay Soward sold his '04 Grey Cup ring. If so, can we safely assume that it was to pay off the USC horse so it would stop threatening to kill him?

As for the game itself, apparently John Avery has looked terrific in practice. I hereby volunteer to carry him around for the next couple of days, so he doesn't somehow injure himself. Rusty, you get to bathe him.

Pick: Toronto

Montreal at Calgary

The most depressing moment of the Argos season so far had to be the TSN panel coming on after last week's 31-7 massacre and assessing the the Als had played a mediocre game.

The second most depressing moment? Realizing that the crowds at Molson Stadium have stopped singing quaint Quebecois songs during the games. Worse, they don't even seem to get worked up over that "Will You Be My Girl?" song anymore. So complacent, those Montrealers. Or maybe they were just too busy throwing peanuts at me. In hindsight, I really should've faked an allergy just to teach them a lesson.

So, yeah...I don't really have much to say about this game.

Pick: Calgary

Bonus Pick:

All of the Argos have somehow been injured in practice, and Pinball is forced to play the Ticats alone...with Kent Austin as his offensive coordinator. How does Pinball do?*

Consensus: Pinball 21, Ticats 0. (Thank God Pinball stepped up with those three defensive touchdowns, or he might have been in trouble.)
