Bombers at Redblacks: My Takes by Don Cruickshank

Redblacks Kickoff 2024 Season Against Winnipeg Thursday for Week 2 by Sam Just

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will look to get back in the win column as they travel to take on the Ottawa RedBlacks. Zach Collaros is 3 games without a touchdown pass as he takes on his old backup Dru Brown who is now the starter for Ottawa.

Writer’s Pick: 67% Winnipeg

Montreal Alouettes (1-0) @ Edmonton Elks (0-1)

Friday, June 14, 9:00 PM Eastern, Edmonton, AB, TSN (Canada), CFL + (USA), CFL+ (Global)

Montreal Alouettes (1-0) Week 2 Preview vs Edmonton Elks (0-1): Prediction, Depth Chart, Injuries, Odds by Jonathan Clink

Green & Gold Game 2 Preview – Elks Face the Defending Champs by Michael Willoughby

The reigning Grey Cup Champions will take on the Edmonton Elks as Montreal comes to town riding a 9-game win streak dating back to last season. Edmonton showed a lot of signs in week 1 pointing towards improvement but ultimately were unable to win in their season opener.

Writer’s Pick: 100% Montreal

Calgary Stampeders (1-0) @ B.C. Lions (0-1)

Saturday, June 15, 7:00 PM Eastern, Vancouver, BC, TSN (Canada), CBS Sports Network (USA), CFL+ (Global)

BC Lions (0-1) Week 2 Preview vs Calgary Stampeders (1-0): Prediction, Depth Chart, Injuries, Odds by Jonathan Clink

B.C.’s home opener will be a rematch of last year’s Western Semi-Final as the Lions host the Calgary Stampeders. The Lions will look to bounce back after a rough day of pass protection. Vernon Adams Jr. is coming off of a 363 passing yard performance with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception while Calgary’s Jake Maier also played very well last week passing for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Writer’s Pick: 77% B.C.

Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-0) @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-1)

Sunday, June 16, 7:00 PM Eastern, Hamilton, ON, TSN (Canada), CBS Sports Network (USA), CFL+ (Global)

Breaking Down the Tiger-Cats vs. Roughriders Matchup in Week 2 by Aaron Sauter

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will host the Saskatchewan Roughriders as they look to get their first win of the season. The match will see 2 quarterbacks who are both likely future Canadian Football Hall of Famers Bo Levi Mitchell for Hamilton and Trevor Harris for Saskatchewan. James Butler had a monster game on the ground last week for Hamilton rushing 13 times last week for 119 yards.

Writer’s Pick: 55% Hamilton
