All right, so week 18 in the 2025 CFL season was little more than three blowouts resulting in the elimination of the Ottawa Redblacks and defending champion Toronto Argonauts – nevertheless, the Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast is here looking forward to next week because whoa, does the plot thicken…

As the 2025 CFL regular season reaches its finale, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis put a moratorium on the previously mentioned teams’ seasons and, in picking and predicting for next week’s games, ultimately run through just a few of the many (many!) variations we could see in this year’s playoffs.

Plus, the RWB manages to conjure up a Hollywood movie plotline for each of the seven teams remaining in contention, from Cody Fajardo leading his Edmonton Elks through a couple of his former employers to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats ending the CFL’s longest run of futility as Bo Levi Mitchell reasserts himself as the league’s unquestionable MVP – and MOP.

Check out this episode of the RWB for all the plotlines in the CFL…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: The beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Week 17 of the CFL season was thoroughly enjoyed by Rouge White & Blue podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis – after all, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes both won, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats lost, and the standings table just ratcheted up with excitement.

So what’s not to like? Welllllllllllllllllllllllll…

As fans of the Canadian game surely know, CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston this past week announced a half-dozen rule changes to befall the sport over the next two seasons – and some fans aren’t happy. In fact, the RWB wonders whether we’ll be watching an American football thtat’s Canadian in name only by 2030. This may be, concludes the RWB, all about the money.

Depressing potential reality aside, the RWB nevertheless plows forward with an increasingly interesting playoff picture (and scenarios!) plus a tiny bit of fantasy football speak plus picks and predictions for week 18.

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: “Rouge” is the name, y’all…

On this episode of Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast, co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis marvel at how much the narrative of an entire league can change in just one week.

Like, for example, how this week after the BC Lions ran up 50-plus points on the Calgary Stampeders, the former suddenly look a lot more plausible to seriously compete for the Grey Cup than the latter.

Not to mention the Montreal Alouettes stealing one from the similarly QB-challenged Toronto Argonauts to put the 2023 CFL champions in suddenly well stronger p;osition that the ’24 champs.

And finally, there are the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who – ah, nothing’s changing with the Felines, unfortunately…

This rundown plus picks and predictions for week 17 (no way, already?!!?!?) from the RWB!
