Saskatchewan Roughriders Aim to Secure West Division Title in Week 19 Clash on TSN

CFL Showdown: Key Matches Heat Up Thanksgiving Weekend

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Aim for East Division Crown

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are on a mission this Saturday as they host the Calgary Stampeders, boasting one of the top offenses in the CFL. Currently holding the lead in the East Division with a solid 10-6 record, they’re eyeing their first division title since 2019. Hamilton recently overpowered the Argonauts with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell amassing 320 yards, four touchdowns, and a lone interception. Standout performances included Brendan O’Leary-Orange’s 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Kiondre Smith’s 98 receiving yards, and Greg Bell’s 76 rushing yards accompanied by a touchdown.

The Stampeders, with an 8-7 record, look to overcome the BC Lions for the second spot in the West while fending off competition from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Calgary’s hopes were dampened by a 38-24 defeat to the Lions in Week 18, despite Vernon Adams Jr.’s 303 passing yards and two touchdowns. Erik Brooks, Clark Barnes, and Dominique Rhymes contributed notably with touchdown catches.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Seek Dominance Over Edmonton Elks

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, standing at 8-7, are in a fierce battle for second place in the West and will clash with the 6-9 Edmonton Elks to finalize Week 19. Winnipeg is fresh off a bye week but previously dismantled Hamilton 40-3, thanks to quarterback Zach Collaros’ return and his impressive 367 yards and a touchdown performance. Canadian receiver Nic Demski featured prominently with 114 receiving yards, complemented by Chris Streveler’s three rushing touchdowns.

The Elks, rejuvenated after their bye week, cling to playoff ambitions subsequent to a narrow 27-25 victory over the Roughriders in Week 17. Signal caller Cody Fajardo notched 305 passing yards, with Kaion Julien Grant contributing 89 receiving yards and a touchdown. Running back Justin Rankin’s stellar 82-yard, two-touchdown display earned him a multi-year contract extending through 2027.

Montreal Alouettes to Host Ottawa Redblacks for a Crucial Encounter

Securing the second seed in the East, Montreal Alouettes (8-7) are set to face the Ottawa Redblacks on Thanksgiving Monday, anticipating an East semifinal at home. Despite an outside chance to catch Hamilton for first, Montreal is prepared to welcome a Western crossover team. They come off a break, having last triumphed 38-20 over the Stampeders on September 26, powered by Davis Alexander’s return and his 350-yard, one-touchdown display. Receiver Tyler Snead also shone with 115 receiving yards.

• Quarterback Shea Patterson added three strategic rushing touchdowns for the Alouettes.
• Cole Spieker and Tyson Philpot significantly contributed with 81 and 76 receiving yards, respectively.

The Redblacks, sitting at 4-11, are out of playoff contention following their Week 18 loss to the Roughriders. Dru Brown initially led as quarterback, but it was Dustin Crum who managed a touchdown despite a challenging outing. Justin Hardy emerged with 57 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Eugene Lewis bolstered the effort with 56 receiving yards.
