GA Russell Posted Thursday at 09:54 PM Author Report Posted Thursday at 09:54 PM Week 17 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/25/cfl-beat-250/ My picks... Alouettes over Stampeders - The Stamps have not been golden the past few weeks. I was going to pick them, but now that I see that Alexander will start for the Als, I'll pick them at home. So far, Alexander has yet to lose as a starter in his pro career. Lions over Argonauts - BC has been amazing the past two weeks (worthy of #1 in the power rankings), and I don't see an Eastern team playing at night in the Pacific time zone to be able to stop the momentum. Tiger-Cats over Blue Bombers - Collaros will return as the Bombers' starter, but I think the Ticats are the better team this year. Maybe after all these years of success, the Bombers have become just too old. Elks over Roughriders - I feel foolish picking this upset; but the Elks continue to get better, and the Riders are far from perfect. ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-17/ ***** Week 17 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/3-keys-to-victory-for-calgary-montreal-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/vernon-adams-jr-to-start-in-week-17-vs-als/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/official-davis-alexander-to-start-for-montreal-alouettes-against-calgary/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/official-vernon-adams-jr-to-start-for-calgary-stampeders-despite-back-injury/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/3-keys-to-victory-for-toronto-bc-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/nick-arbuckle-to-start-vs-lions-on-friday/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/veteran-quarterback-arbuckle-named-starter-for-argonauts-vs-lions/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/qb-nick-arbuckle-returns-for-toronto-argonauts-against-b-c-lions/ ***** Fans can now vote for this year's All-CFL team. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/vote-now-for-your-all-cfl-team/ ***** Win a trip to the Grey Cup!

GA Russell Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago Week 17 results Montreal 38....Calgary 20 Davis Alexander set the league record for starting quarterbacks by winning his ninth straight to begin his career. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/recap-montreal-38-calgary-20/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/pattersons-hat-trick-leads-alouettes-to-win-over-stampeders/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/alexander-sets-cfl-record-with-9-0-start-to-career-as-alouettes-down-stampeders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/calgary-stampeders-stick-with-tradition-fall-in-montreal-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/davis-alexander-provides-magic-as-montreal-alouettes-stomp-the-stamps-in-return-five-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/hes-different-davis-alexander-sets-cfl-record-while-posting-single-game-career-high-passing-yards-in-alouettes-return/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-calgary-stampeders-20-montreal-alouettes-38-alouettes-dominate-at-home/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/3-stats-that-defined-montreals-week-17-win-over-calgary/ ***** BC 27....Toronto 22 The Lions were the better team, but the Argos made a game of it in the end. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-bc-27-toronto-22/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/lions-take-down-argonauts-to-claim-third-straight-win/ https://www.tsn.ca/mlb/article/lions-grind-out-victory-over-argonauts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/toronto-argonauts-unofficially-seal-their-fate-in-loss-to-b-c-lions-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/b-c-lions-require-no-consultation-as-nathan-rourke-pushes-through-tight-victory-over-argos-12-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-bc-lions-27-toronto-argonauts-22-lions-extend-win-streak-to-three-games/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-bcs-week-17-win-over-toronto/ ***** ***** ***** Winnipeg 40....Hamilton 3 This one gets my vote for least interesting game of the year. The Ticats showed nothing. However, the Argos' loss clinched second place for Hamilton. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-winnipeg-40-hamilton-3/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/zach-collaros-cooks-up-ticats-in-return-for-bombers/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/blue-bombers-tame-tiger-cats-to-move-into-third-in-west/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/hamilton-tiger-cats-fail-to-get-off-the-plane-in-winnipeg-fly-home-embarrassed-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/winnipeg-blue-bombers-erupt-offensively-crush-hamilton-tiger-cats-13-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-winnipeg-blue-bombers-40-hamilton-tiger-cats-3-collaros-returns-in-dominant-fashion/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-winnipegs-week-17-win-over-hamilton/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/official-hamilton-tiger-cats-clinch-cfl-playoff-spot/ ***** Edmonton 27....Sask 25 Terrific game till the very end! The Elks' starters on defense are hurt, but the back-ups seem to be doing a better job. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-edmonton-27-saskatchewan-25/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/back-and-forth-ends-in-victory-for-elks-over-roughriders/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/emotional-elks-keep-playoff-hopes-alive-with-win-over-roughriders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/edmonton-elks-hang-on-to-beat-roughriders-win-one-for-larry-six-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/saskatchewan-roughriders-miss-huge-opportunity-in-loss-to-edmonton-eight-other-thoughts/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/slow-start-12-missed-points-defensive-breakdowns-cost-riders-against-edmonton/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/riderville-roundup-september-28-2025/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-edmonton-elks-27-saskatchewan-roughriders-25-elks-edge-riders-in-wild-fourth-quarter-battle/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-edmontons-week-17-win-over-saskatchewan/ ***** ***** The Redblacks have sent Lorenzo Mauldin to the Stampeders for a fourth round pick. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/28/stamps-acquire-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-in-trade-with-redblacks/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/stampeders-acquire-dl-mauldin-from-redblacks/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/calgary-stampeders-acquire-dl-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-via-trade-from-ottawa-redblacks/ ***** ***** ***** All three of last week's seven-win teams won their eighth game, so it looks like the playoff teams are set. However, it's very possible that the Elks could win two of their last three, so we will see. Both the Argos and the Redblacks would have to win all of their remaining games to avoid the eleventh loss. ***** Quote
