What a week of good-looking matches! I'd say the marquee match is Lions @ Bombers. The Lions' (defence) looked pretty brash in Edmonton this weekend passed. I look forward to seeing how they stack up against the Bombers.

The Stamps do not feel like a 2-5 team to me talent-wise. Hopefully after a disappointing game against Montreal and looking ahead to their formidable opponents this week, things start to come together for the Stampeders starting this week and Friday is a close match

Lions @ Bombers: I had to work late, just tuned in, and was surprised to see a 16 point difference, but BC just got a field goal to cut it to 13. Can the Lions come back in 2nd half? Is the Bombers' extra strength due to their off-week last week? (Elks fans might hope so :)

Wow, Bombers are 11-1 coming off a bye-week since 2017

Stamps and Argos are about set to go. Argos, of course, are undefeated. Stamps, of course, are struggling badly, as is Maier.

Will the Argos falter? Or will they just keep rolling? Will Maier throw 47 interceptions? Or will he figure it out?

I guess we'll find out.

Kickoff hasn't happened yet, but so far Maier has thrown zero interceptions this game. Woo hoo!!!

I was in such a TGIF mood yesterday, I forgot about the Argos game lol but saw the final score. Sweet win for Maier and the Stamps!!

Als @ Cats is a good game at the half! I think Kate Beirness is an awesome host and injects a lot of fun into the panel. I like it when she's on the Raptors broadcasts

Redblacks @ Roughriders, currently Sask leading by 9. Now to wait for the weekly Ottawa comeback, or, as they're saying in Ottawa these days, the 'Crumback'.

Yup, classic CFL, the last 3 minutes have more game changing plays in them than the rest of the game did.
