After 17 weeks in the CFL:
Ted Clarke: 3-1 last week; 34-22 overall
Peter James: 3-1 last week; 40-20 overall
Sheri Lamb: 2-2 last week; 37-23 overall
Mark Nielsen: 1-3 last week; 37-19 overall
Blue Bombers (3-13) at Argonauts (10-6)
Today, 4:30 p.m. TSN
Clarke: Ricky Ray wasn't at his best last week coming back from a shoulder injury and the Argos suffered. They'll take out their frustrations today on the sad-sack Bombers.
Pick: Argos by 12
James: The Blue Bombers deserved better when these two teams met last week, but the Argos are simply a better team. Pick: Toronto by four.
Lamb: With their playoff hopes officially dashed the Blue Bombers are playing for pride and jobs in 2014, but they usually struggle in the building formerly known as Skydome. Pick: Argos by nine.
Nielsen: The Argos will be on high alert after the Blue Bombers gave then a scare last week. Pick:Toronto by 10.
Eskimos (3-13) at Lions (9-7)
Friday, 7 p.m. TSN
Clarke: This is shaping up to be one of the worst teams in Eskimo history and Kavis Reed still has his job. Go figure. Pick: Lions by 20.
James: QB Travis Lulay may not be back just yet, but the rest of the Lions will be in playoff mode against a less than motivated Eskimos squad. Pick: Lions by 12.
Lamb: Both teams are trending downwards these days and only one is playoff bound, but the Eskimos usually play well in BC Place. Upset of the week. Pick: Eskimos by six.
Nielsen: The Lions should do a better job of hanging on to the ball simply because they will play this one in a nice and dry indoor stadium. Pick: B.C. by 14.
Alouettes (7-9) at Tiger-Cats (8-8)
Saturday, 10 a.m. TSN
Clarke: Henry Burris is a whole lot better than he has been lately and he's got a chance to make up for last week's 36-5 embarrassment at the hands of Troy Smith and the Als. Pick: Ticats by six
James: A likely first-round playoff preview, but homefield is still very much on the line. Pick: Ticats by three.
Lamb: The Ticats were putrid last week in Montreal, likely blowing their chances at catching the Argos for first place in the East and if they want to host a home playoff game they better get their butts in gear or they'll be making another trip to Montreal in November. Pick: Ticats by six.
Nielsen: Looks like the Als' new QB, Troy Smith, is a keeper. Inconsistency continues to plague the Tiger-Cats. Pick: Montreal by 10.
Roughriders (11-5) at Stampeders (13-3)
Saturday, 4 p.m. TSN
Clarke: Home field for the CFL West final game is on the line and the Stamps won't choke. Pick: Stamps by five
James: The Stampeders are the class of the league and a win this week allows them to put it in cruise control for their final regular season game. Pick: Stamps by three.
Lamb: A possible preview of the West division final... the game may be played in Calgary, but it'll be difficult to tell as the Roughriders fans will be loud in support of their beloved team, but the Stampeders' mascot will steal the show with plenty to gallop about. Pick: Stampeders by 10.
Nielsen: Game of the week. Stampeders' more explosive offence will prove the difference, but not by much. Pick: Calgary by three.
