Week 17 gave us blowouts, heartbreak, and one seriously unexpected upset. Hello Saskatchewan! The playoff picture is shifting, and if Week 17 taught us anything, it’s that no team — not even the Riders — can take anything for granted. Let’s break it down and look ahead.
🏈 CFL Week 17 Roundup
🐎 Stampeders 20 @ 🪽 Alouettes 38
Montreal kept the pedal down. The Als’ offence is rolling, and the Stamps look like they’re running out of answers.
⚓ Argonauts 22 @ 🦁 Lions 27
BC stayed hot with another strong showing. The Argos tried to hang around but couldn’t keep up in crunch time.
🐯 Tiger-Cats 3 @ 💣 Blue Bombers 40
Winnipeg answered critics in a big way. After weeks of inconsistency, the Bombers blew the doors off Hamilton — a statement win if there ever was one.
🌾 Roughriders 25 @ 🛡️ Elks 27
The upset of the week! Edmonton finally flipped the script and knocked off Saskatchewan in a thriller. For once, the Elks finished strong. Am I happy about it? No. But can I appreciate a win when it’s earned? Maybe. Depends who lost I guess.
📊 Standings Snapshot (after Week 17)
- East: Hamilton (9-6) still leads, Montreal (8-7) right behind, Toronto (5-11) sinking.
- West: Saskatchewan (10-4) still holds the edge, BC (8-7) charging, Calgary (8-6) wobbling, Winnipeg (8-7) bouncing back, Edmonton (6-9) showing fight.

After the Lions' convincing win over the Stampeders, are they the biggest threat in the West to the leading Roughriders?
