Week 1 did not disappoint!

The first two games of the week ended with walk-off field goals for the Alouettes and the Blue Bombers to start the season 1-0. In the week’s finale, it was a show by Justin Rankin that helped the Elks beat the REDBLACKS 29-21.

The fact is, all of my picks were just as close to going 3-0 as they were to going 0-3.

I’ll happily take the 2-1 start to the season and the early lead over my fellow CFL.ca contributors.

We have three teams making their 2026 debuts after BC, Saskatchewan and Toronto spent Week 1 at home resting following three rigorous weeks of training camp.

Toronto opens its season on Friday in Montreal, while the Roughriders and Lions face off in a rematch of last year’s dramatic Western Final.

Will we get as much drama in Week 2 as we did in Week 1?
