The much-anticipated rematch of last year’s Eastern Final will see the Toronto Argonauts host the Montreal Alouettes. Cody Fajardo is coming off of a strong game for Montreal in which he completed 28 of his 35 passes for 393 yards and 3 touchdowns. Cameron Dukes for Toronto currently leads the league in completion percentage at 81.3% and is the only starting quarterback without an interception yet this season.

Writer’s Pick: 50% Toronto, 50% Montreal

Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Calgary Stampeders

Saturday, June 22, 7:00 PM Eastern, Calgary, AB, TSN (Canada), CBS Sports Network (USA), CFL+ (Global)

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in desperate need of their first win after starting the season off 0-3 for the first time since 2012. This is a key match for the Calgary Stampeders who have a chance to put some distance on the team that has won the West Division in each of the last 4 seasons. Winnipeg’s Zach Collaros had a slow start to the season and is still without a touchdown pass. Collaros did look good last week completing 23 of his 30 passes for 247 yards against BC. Calgary’s Jake Maier has had a great start to the season after completing 79.7% of his passes for 591 yards and 4 touchdowns with 1 interception over his first 2 games.

Writer’s Pick: 75% Winnipeg

Hamilton Tiger-Cats @ Ottawa RedBlacks

Sunday, June 23, 7:00 PM Eastern, Ottawa, ON, TSN (Canada), CBS Sports Network (USA), CFL+ (Global)

Hamilton is beginning to enter a territory of desperation as they are 3 games into the season without a win and their worst loss of the season came last week as they lost 20-36 to Saskatchewan. Ottawa while being a .500 team also needs to bounce back after being on the receiving end of a 47-21 loss to Montreal last week. Bo Levi Mitchell for Hamilton is currently third in the league in passing yards after completing 68.6% of his passes for 975 yards and 6 touchdowns with 5 interceptions, 3 of which were last week. Dru Brown has completed 60.3% of his passes for Ottawa for 530 yards and 2 touchdowns with 1 interception over 2 games.

Writer’s Pick: 75% Hamilton
