Game Preview: Montreal Alouettes @ Calgary Stampeders

Kickoff: Thursday, July 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET on TSN/RDS/CBSSN/CFL+ Calgary is riding high after taking down the Winnipeg Blue Bombers not once, but twice in three weeks! They're now facing the Montreal Alouettes, who will unfortunately be without their star quarterback, Davis Alexander. With Calgary’s winning momentum, all our writers are backing the Stampeders for another victory.

**Writers’ Pick: 100% for Calgary**

Game Preview: Edmonton Elks @ Saskatchewan Roughriders

Kickoff: Friday, July 25 at 9:00 p.m. ET on TSN/CFL+ The Edmonton Elks return from a bye week, desperate for their second win of the season. They're just two games shy of the division leaders, BC and Winnipeg. Yet, uncertainty looms over who will take the reins at quarterback, with Tre Ford and Cody Fajardo both sharing first-team reps. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan clinched their fifth win last week against BC, powered by a stellar performance from Trevor Harris. Despite the Elf's fresh legs, Matt Cauz believes Edmonton’s break will give them the edge.

**Writers’ Pick: 80% for Saskatchewan**

Game Preview: Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Toronto Argonauts

Kickoff: Saturday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. ET on TSN/CTV/CBSSN/CFL+ All eyes will be glued to the quarterbacks in this critical matchup. The Argonauts' Chad Kelly is back in practice, but Nick Arbuckle is currently taking the lead in first-team reps. Winnipeg’s Zach Collaros left last week's game hurt but has returned to practice and may be ready to go. No matter who starts under center, our writers have confidence that the Bombers can come out on top in this rematch of the 111th Grey Cup.

**Writers’ Pick: 100% for Winnipeg**

Game Preview: Hamilton Tiger-Cats @ BC Lions

Kickoff: Sunday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. ET on TSN/CFL+ The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are on fire with four consecutive wins, all against East Division rivals! But now they face their first challenge from the West in the BC Lions, who are coming off a disappointing home loss to the Roughriders. The stakes are high, and Pat Steinberg is boldly betting on Nathan Rourke and his squad to deliver a comeback.

**Writers’ Pick: A mixed bag, but watch out for BC!**
