Now, the Als get their chance at revenge at Molson Stadium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saskatchewan and Ottawa both made the playoffs in 2024, but neither was able to advance to the Grey Cup. The latter made some significant upgrades this past offseason, inking Eugene Lewis and William Stanback to help bolster the offence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Stampeders and Tiger-Cats were both busy improving their rosters this past offseason. Calgary brought in Dominique Rhymes and Damon Webb, additions that&#8217;ll help on both sides of the ball. Hamilton, meanwhile, brought in standout receiver Kenny Lawler.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nathan Rourke is back at QB for the Lions, and the hope is he can be one of the league&#8217;s elite in 2025 after a disappointing 2024. Edmonton, meanwhile, was active during the winter. The Elks have added Jake Ceresna, Robbie Smith and Jared Brinkman to improve their pass rush.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are the lone team that&#8217;s off in Week 1. They don&#8217;t begin their season until June 12, when they host the Lions. Winnipeg is a preseason betting favourite to win the Grey Cup. The team has made five straight Grey Cups, losing each of the last three.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>CFL Week 1 odds as of 4:57 p.m. on 06\/01\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CFL is back, and Week 1 features four must-see games.
