The Rifles’ playoff hopes are fading and need a win this weekend to keep them alive.  They are trying to snap a four-game slide after winning their first game of the season.  

The Wildcats desperately need a victory this weekend and need to win their final three and get some help if they want to make the playoffs.  They must take it one game at a time, starting with this tilt in Winnipeg

Both teams are desperate for a win this weekend as they fight to try and stay alive in the playoff race.  This is the one and only meeting of the season between them.  

The Hurricanes need a win to snap their two-game skid and remain in third place, while the Skyhawks have lost three straight and are on the outside looking in at the playoff picture. 

With points at a premium, this is the Hurricanes final road game of the regular season.

GTA Grizzlies @ London Beefeaters – Saturday September 23, 5:00pm – City Wide Field | WATCH HERE

This is the only meeting of the season between these two teams as the Beefeaters welcome the Grizzlies. 

The Beefeaters have punched their ticket to the postseason with two games remaining and if they can get out to a lead they have the opportunity to rest some of their starters.   They have won two straight games outscoring their opponents 90-16.  This tilt with the Grizzlies is their final home game of the regular season. 

As for the Grizzlies they have struggled all year and have been shutout in five for their six games so far.  They will look to turn things around and have some success in London.

Ottawa Sooners @ St. Clair Saints – Saturday September 23, 7:30pm – Acuman Stadium | WATCH HERE

It’s a rematch as these two teams meet for the second time this season.  Back on August 19th the Saints scored 21 points in the first quarter on their way to a 30-4 victory.  Javier Lewis had a massive game with two rushing touchdowns and caught a TD strike as well. 

The Saints are in the driver seat in the Ontario Conference, clinching a playoff spot and with a victory over Ottawa would secure homefield advantage. 

As of late the Sooners have been playing better ball and have won three straight with two road games left on their schedule.  They currently hold down the final playoff spot and a win on Saturday would all but clinch a berth into the Canadian Bowl Championship Series. 

Head-to-Head

BC CONFERFENCE

Prince George Kodiaks @ Valley Huskers – Saturday September 23, 2:00pm – Exhibition Field | WATCH HERE

It’s the only meeting of the season between these two teams as the Huskers welcome the Kodiaks.  

The Huskers are coming off their bye week so should be very rested as they look to get back to their winning ways.  They are hoping their quarterback Tyran Duval can return to the lineup after getting hurt the week before.  They are two points out of second place and in a tough battle with the Langley Rams for third.

The Kodiaks need a win to remain in the playoff conversation.  They are four points back of the final playoff spot and play three of their final four games on the road.   They have lost two straight and are hoping to get back to the win column.

Head-to-Head

Records: Kodiaks 2-4 – Huskers 4-2
Avg Points For: Kodiaks 11 – Huskers 36.5
Avg Points Allowed: Kodiaks 34.6 – Huskers 27.3

Leading Tacklers: Ryley Amendt – 23 receptions tackles (Kodiaks) – Kurtis Flynn – 26 tackles (Huskers)

Langley Rams @ VI Raiders – Saturday September 23, 5:30pm – NDSS Field | WATCH HERE

It’s the second and final meeting of the season between these two teams after the Rams took out the Raiders 54-3 in Week 2.

Quarterback Trey Jones erupted for five touchdown passes on 11 of 12 passes for 260 yards and the defence forced six turnovers.

This Rams defence has been stellar as of late giving up a total of 14 points in their last two games, which were both wins.  

A win this weekend would keep them close to the standings leaders and move one step closer to clinching a playoff spot. 

The Raiders parted ways with their head coach earlier this week and are hoping a change at the top can see immediate results on the field.   The club is still looking for their first win of the campaign. 

Head-to-Head

Records: Rams 4-2 – Raiders 0-7
Avg Points For: Rams 38.3 – Raiders 12

Leading Tacklers:  Evan Nolli – 18 tackles (Rams) – Nathan Haluik – 27 tackles (Raiders)

Westshore Rebels @ Kamloops Broncos – Saturday September 23, 6:00pm – Hillside Stadium | WATCH HERE

The Rebels and Broncos meet for the second time this year after the Rebels smoked them in Week 2 by the score of 70-10.

On paper this is a tough matchup for the Broncos who allow the second most points per game taking on the top offence and top team in the country.  The Broncos will need to play a perfect game and hope the Rebels are “off” in order for a victory. 

Last week the Rebels scored 95 points, which is tied for fifth most in a single game in CJFL history.  

The Rebels have punched their ticket to the postseason and will no doubt give some of their starters a rest if they can jump on top of the Broncos early on.

Head-t0-Head

Records: Rebels 7-0 – Broncos 0-6

SUNDAY

PRAIRIE CONFERENCE 

Saskatoon Hilltops @ Edmonton Huskies – Sunday September 24, 1:00 – JP Bowl | WATCH HERE

It’s the only meeting of the season between these two teams and the final road game of the year for the Hilltops. 

The Conference leaders have been outstanding through their first five games with their defence not allowing much.  In four of their five wins they have kept their opposition to seven points or less and have pitched one shutout.  

Offensively they have put up a lot of points, scoring over 47 points each time they hit the field.  

The Huskies will need to find a way to slow them down while putting up some points.   They have averaged 40 points in their last four games, which included a loss last weekend in Calgary.  Sunday’s game is their final home game of the season.

Head-to-Head

Records: Hilltops 5-0 – Huskies 3-2

Calgary Colts @ Regina Thunder – Sunday September 24, 1:00pm – Leibel Field | WATCH HERE

It’s a rematch of the first game of the year between these two teams which saw the Thunder score 16 points in the final quarter to win 36-20.

Both defences played well, the Thunder found their stride in the final frame to put the game away.   Running back Ryland Leichert was outstanding with 21 carries for 170 yards and touchdown. 

The Thunder are 2-0 against teams from Alberta so far this season.  The Colts meanwhile have won two straight and a win on Sunday, coupled with a Huskies loss would bring them into a tie for third place.

The Rams currently hold down the final playoff sport in the BC Conference with the Kodiaks two points behind.  They have won three of their last four and the Kodiaks had their two-game winning streak snapped last week.

SUNDAY

PRAIRIE CONFERENCE

Saskatoon Hilltops @ Edmonton Wildcats – Sunday September 18, 1:00pm – Emerald Hills | WATCH HERE

The undefeated Hilltops travel to Edmonton to face the Wildcats for the second time this season.  In their first meeting the Toppers crushed the Wildcats 50-2.  Their defence was incredible, with the only two points the Wildcats got was courtesy of a conceded safety. 

That Hilltops defence is the stingiest in the Conference and arguably the best across the CJFL.  They face a Wildcats offence that has sputtered all season long.  The Wildcats are still looking for their first win of the year.

The Thunder are coming off their first regular season loss since September 7, 2019, a very impressive run.  Last week they fell to the Hilltops and didn’t score a touchdown.  The Rifles on the other hand have been struggling and have lost three in a row, including the setback at the hands of the Thunder.  Their next three games are at home as they look to get back into the playoff conversation.

Last weekend the Huskies won their third straight, a streak that began with the win over the Colts.   During this streak, they have averaged 40 points a game.  The Colts meanwhile won their first of the season last weekend with an exciting 33-21 victory over the Rifles.

London Beefeaters @ Hamilton Hurricanes – Sunday September 17, 5:00pm – Tim Hortons Field | WATCH HERE

It’s the final game of Week 8 across the CJFL as these teams meet for the second time this season.  On August 20th in London, the Beefeaters calmed the Hurricanes 41-6.  Defensively the Beefeaters were solid.

They snapped their two-game slide last week with an important win over Quinte and are 1-1 on the road.  The Hurricanes lost last week but have won two of their last three.  This is a very important matchup against the Beefeaters and need to have a massive offensive outpouring to regain the advantage in the tiebreaker.
