We end the month of September with CFL Week 17.
Edmonton (5-9) at Winnipeg (8-6) Fri. 8PM ET
- The Blue Bombers have now won six in a row as their defence caused problems for the Elks last week. Edmonton is making a QB switch with McLeod Bethel-Thompson getting the start for this one.
Hamilton (5-9) at BC (7-7) Fri. 10:30PM ET
- Three straight wins has the TiCats still in playoff contention, but they'll have the tough task of a late start in Vancouver. It appears that Nathan Rourke will be the starting QB for the Lions in this one, but I don't think the QB controversy will go away yet.
Ottawa (8-5-1) at Saskatchewan (6-7-1) Sat. 3PM ET
- These two teams played to a tie in their last meeting, but both teams will need a win here. Ottawa is trying to hang onto second in the East for a home playoff game, while the Riders have a wafer-thin hold on a playoff spot.
Montreal (11-2-1) at Toronto (7-7) Sat. 7PM ET
- The Alouettes appear to be back to their winning ways after a weird stumble for a couple of weeks, and can clinch first in the East with a win in this one. The Argos meanwhile have been very inconsistent, but still hold a playoff spot right.
Bye Week - Calgary (4-9-1). Some locker-room infighting happened after dropping an important game to the Riders. This keeps adding to my theory that many changes are needed in Calgary, but apathetic ownership won't do anything in all likelihood.
