This week in the CFL- Week 13: Who's Playing Who This Week?

 The CFL season is rolling along, and Week 13 is here! If you're looking for some Canadian football action this weekend, there are four games on the schedule, starting Friday night and running through Sunday. You can also watch on TSN but if you have not been to a game, this week is as good of a time as any. Make sure to check out the tailgate parties before the game....tell people it is your first time.....you will find lots of food and maybe some red solo cups if you get my drift. 

Here’s a look at who is playing who this week.

Friday, Aug. 28

Montreal Alouettes

@ Winnipeg Blue Bombers

6:30 p.m. ET

Saturday, Aug. 29

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

@ Calgary Stampeders

1:00 p.m. ET

Saturday, Aug. 29

Toronto Argonauts

@ Saskatchewan Roughriders

5:00 p.m. ET

Sunday, Aug. 30

B.C. Lions

@ Ottawa Redblacks

5:00 p.m. ET

Here is my take on the game this week. I think Montreal is going to continue to dominate the league, and Winnipeg is not as good of a team as people think. They took a 16-0 lead against the Edmonton Elks last week...and then the Elks team bus showed up towards the second half and that was the end of that. The Bombers were terrible against the Elks defence.  

Hamilton and Calgary will be interesting. I think Calgary is a better team than their record suggests and playing home I expect they will win, big time. Tre Ford should be starting for the Ti-Cats and is very hot and cold. 

Toronto vs the Riders.......with the riders at home, they cannot afford to lose this one. I think they will learn from the comedy of errors and bad penalties last week and show up in a big way. 

The Lions vs the Redblacks. Ottawa has been a mess this year, and I am not sure it will get better this week. If there is one upset this week, it could be this game. You can never rule out a team that has a record as bad as the Redblacks. There are many good pieces of the puzzle and if Rourke has an off game for BC and the Redblacks can find a way to not only score but also step up their defence, this might be a closer game than people think. It is the CFL after all. 

It is really nice to not have a game on Thursday this week as well.
