CFL Pick 'Em, Week Ten: Past the halfway point, the true stories are revealing themselves: there are good teams, there are bad teams, and then there's Saskatchewan. Oh, Saskatchewan. Cut your melon and make your picks inside.

I just wanted to say a special thanks for doing this, DJE, as it helped me nail a Learned League question last week.
I might've come up with the Toronto Argonauts anyhow, but thanks to these posts it was a no-brainer.

Not picking the games last week proved a suboptimal strategy for me.

Shhhhh. Nobody tell Reever and JPR about the score of last night's game.

A big fourth quarter help the Alouettes stun the home side as the Lions lose in Vancouver. Hamilton continues their torrid play with a third straight blowout win. Calgary holds off a late Rider rally to send Saskatchewan to their eighth straight loss, while Toronto does much the same, pushing back a fourth-quarter Redblack surge.
With jags in cruise control twelve points ahead, the drama is now in the second-place race. argoal holds a two-point lead, but five players are within five points.
Who's going to be brave enough to pick Saskatchewan this week? Or any week, for that matter?
WEEK 10
Montreal @ Hamilton (Thursday, August 27) Montreal's been better then their record indicates so far. But Hamilton has just been crazy good these past few games, so I'm not betting big on an upset here.
Toronto @ Edmonton (Friday, August 28) Battle of the backup quarterbacks! I have no idea how Edmonton has strung together five wins this year. Then again, I have no idea how Toronto has notched six, and I'm a season ticket holder. Give Edmonton a very slight home edge.
Calgary @ Winnipeg (Saturday, August 29) It's a Week 4 rematch: way back when, Winnipeg lost a one-point heartbreaker to Calgary. If Winnipeg wants to contend for the division, they need to be on the right side of that coin flip this time.
Saskatchewan @ Ottawa (Sunday, August 30) The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughrider calendar had August 30 marked as "Guaranteed Win Night". But with Ottawa 3-5 and the Riders winless, an erratum may need to be issued.
Good luck!
