TORONTO — Get ready, football fans! Week 7 of the Canadian Football League is upon us, and it’s shaping up to be one for the record books. Two writers have stepped into the spotlight, Vicki Hall and Pat Steinberg, who showcased their prediction prowess by going a perfect 3-0 last week, securing their spots at the top of the CFL.ca leaderboard.

After a thrilling Week 6, the CFL standings have seen some dramatic shifts. Calgary's stunning victory over Saskatchewan catapulted them into first place in the West, while Hamilton triumphed over Ottawa, claiming the top spot in the East. With just three games separating the leaders from the bottom of the pack in the writers’ predictions, the race for playoff positioning is still wide open!
