Week 7 in the 2025 CFL Season: Calgary Stampeders and British Columbia Lions Shine
In the ongoing 2025 Canadian Football League (CFL) season, Week 7 has seen two of the league's top teams, the Calgary Stampeders and the British Columbia Lions, secure impressive victories.
The Calgary Stampeders delivered a strong statement in their Week 7 game against the previously undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers, securing a 37-16 victory on the road. This win marks the Stampeders' third consecutive victory, with an average margin of 17.5 points[1].
The Stampeders' success can be attributed to their robust offense, which ranks second in the CFL for rushing yards, averaging 130.6 yards per game[2]. In contrast, the Blue Bombers are not far behind, averaging 118.2 rushing yards per game[2].
Meanwhile, the British Columbia Lions faced off against the Saskatchewan Roughriders and emerged victorious. The Lions' defense managed to contain the Roughriders, who had been showing strong offensive form, and secured a 21-10 victory[1].
The Roughriders' quarterback, Trevor Harris, and receiver, Dohnte Meyers, had been standout performers, but their efforts were not enough to secure a win for Saskatchewan[3]. The Lions, on the other hand, have the best offense and defense on a yards per game basis in the CFL[2].
| Matchup | Key Outcome/Prediction | |-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Calgary Stampeders vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers | Calgary has been dominant recently, winning by 21 points on the road and showing strong form[1]. Calgary currently looks like the team to beat in the West. | | British Columbia Lions vs Saskatchewan Roughriders | Saskatchewan has a potent offense led by Trevor Harris and Dohnte Meyers, but the Lions' defense held strong, resulting in a commanding win[1][3]. |
The Stampeders' recent success and the Roughriders' offensive firepower suggest both teams are in strong form going forward in the 2025 CFL season[1][3]. The Lions remain competitive but face tough challenges from the Riders’ dynamic offense[4].
