The week begins with a family feud of the prairies, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders make the trek across the Manitoba line to take on the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg.
A game which rarely needs much in the way of hype, but this year features a much improved Bombers squad, ready to renew acquaintances with the Riders.
Friday night brings us another double header of CFL action, with the struggling Alouettes looking to find some answers, though the task will be a tough one as the soaring Eskimos will be keen to keep on with their winning ways of the start of the season.
The night cap for Friday provides for another team looking for some positive news, as the Tiger Cats travel into Vancouver to take on the BC Lions. The Cats have been close to victory a few times in recent weeks, only to see the prospect of victory slip away, the Lions come off an impressive comeback last week in Calgary.
Week Seven wraps up on Saturday night as the Ottawa RedBlacks will be anxious to banish some of the bad habits and mental mistakes that have cost them in recent weeks, the bad news for the team from the nation's capital... they take on a Stamps squad that will quite unhappy at how they let victory slip away last week against the Lions.
Facing a team that knows it made mistakes that cost them their undefeated status on the year, probably won't make the RedBlacks work any easier.
