Thanksgiving weekend starts out with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Ottawa on Friday Night Football. The B.C. Lions travel to Winnipeg on Saturday.
The Thanksgiving Monday doubleheader has the Alberta teams going east. Edmonton is at Stade Molson to take on the Montréal Alouettes. Calgary will be at BMO Field in the second game against Toronto.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats get plenty of time to enjoy turkey and the fixings.

The pressure to make the playoffs in a year where your stadium is hosting the Grey Cup is very powerful in the CFL.
This is the best explanation for the Toronto Argonauts to release their top receiving trio of Kevin Elliott, Vidal Hazelton, and Tori Gurley along with fellow receiver Phil Bates.
The team is on their 3rd quarterback in Drew Willy and the Argos didn't score a touchdown Sunday in Montréal.
Toronto is a game behind Hamilton but 2 games behind Edmonton for the crossover. The Argos still have to play Calgary twice. Arland Bruce III and Pinball Clemons couldn't help this team right now.

Edmonton gained some momentum in the current race not to be the crossover in the West with Winnipeg.
The Blue Bombers have lost 2 in a row but haven't played poorly in either game. Winnipeg has to find a way to win those games and get to the next level.
With the win, Edmonton now has the tiebreaker with Winnipeg. The Esks trail by 2 points in the standings.

Zach Collaros going down didn't help Hamilton but the Stampeders were going to win anyway. Hot team playing for a fallen teammate. When so much is unknown about the CFL playoffs, Calgary knows they will be there in some form long before Thanksgiving Day.

The B.C. Lions finish the season 7-1 against the East teams this season. The West is the best but you still have to take advantage when the East comes around.
The only loss came on July 8, a 25-14 loss to Toronto in Vancouver. This will help if the Lions cross over.
