Ottawa 34....BC 33

Unbelievable.  BC dominated the entire game, and led 30-16 with 12 minutes left.  The next thing I know it's 30-27.  The Redblacks took their first lead of the game with a touchdown to Geno Lewis with 18 seconds left in the game.

In their past six games, the Redblacks have scored a total of one point in the first quarter.

Edmonton 31....Calgary 19

Big upset!  The Elks keep improving (except last week).  It was close until the Elks scored a late touchdown.

Week 15 picks

https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/11/cfl-beat-248/
https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-picks-week-15-2025/

My picks...

I'm picking the four home teams this week.

Tiger-Cats over Blue Bombers - I think the Ticats are too good to let Streveler beat them.  Strevy hasn't looked good this year.

Lions over Redblacks - It's very rare for an Eastern team to win a night game in the Pacific time zone.  But two of the Lions' four starting defensive linemen will be out with injuries, and that might be enough to give Crum a chance.

Argonauts over Elks - I'll be rooting for the Argos, so I'm picking them.  But I wouldn't bet money on this game.  Too unpredictable.

Roughriders over Alouettes - MBT will be back, which is very good news.  But the Riders have to be good to win so many close games, so I'm going with them.  The Riders are 10-2 for only the third time in their history.

BC 38....Ottawa 27

Crum had a pretty good night, but Rourke played like Ottawa wasn't putting people on the field.  In the first half, the Lions had four possessions, and scored a touchdown on every one of them.

Toronto 31....Edmonton 30

Quite a game!  The Elks dominated until the Argos caught up with less than four minutes left.  See the highlight reel!

Montreal 48....Sask 31

With MBT back, Montreal's offense dominated from start to finish.  You will note that the Power Rankings had the Riders in first place, and the Als in last place.

Let's think about the standings.  Every year I say that an 8-10 team can expect to make the playoffs, but a 7-11 team probably won't.

A photo of two football players in action, one in a green uniform and the other in a red and white uniform, colliding on the field. Below, a standings chart for Week 15 of the Canadian Football League (CFL) lists teams, games played, wins, losses, ties, and points. The West division includes Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary Stampeders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, BC Lions, and Edmonton Elks. The East division includes Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts, and Ottawa Redblacks.

So that means that Sask, Calgary and Hamilton are in.  The other six teams have five games left, and they are separated by only two games.  So this might go down to the wire.
