CFL Gameday: Calgary at Toronto (October 14)

The Friday Night Football kickoff to week number 16 of the CFL season offers up two teams in very different places this CFL season, the Calgary Stampeders in the thick of the battle for first place in the West and the Toronto Argonauts currently playing for next years positions, far out of the race in the east and just counting down the days until they clear out their lockers.

With that narrative for our Friday night kickoff, the most entertaining part of the night's football buffet may come at half time when the Annual Wendy's kick to win competition takes place, somebody in Toronto could end up a big winner tonight, but chances are they won't be wearing Argo blue in the process.

Calgary has had their problems with consistency through the year, though nowhere near as many as their competitors tonight, but it's been a year where offensively the Stamps just haven't measured up to where most thought they would be at this season.

The one thing that the Argos have going in their favour tonight though is the fact that they really, have nothing to lose, there's little pressure on the collective, other than the audition call that the final weeks of the season will provide.

Providing they can spend a little less time focused on their twitter accounts and a little more on the actual playbook and events on the field, they could make Friday night a competitive evening.

Game Time 7:30 PM ET (5:30 MT, 4:30 PT) TSN
