Calgary looks to build on a bounce-back win while Toronto rolls in on a two-game winning streak \u2014 something has to give Thursday night.<\/p>\n
This Week’s CFL Schedule<\/p>\n
Toronto Argonauts<\/a> at Calgary Stampeders<\/a><\/p>\n WhenThursday, July 2, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET Hot teams, a tight spread, and an over\/under of 60 \u2014 this one has shootout written all over it. Toronto comes in riding back-to-back wins, most recently gutting out a 40-34 decision over Saskatchewan in Week 4. Calgary snapped a two-game skid of their own last week, torching BC 41-33 to get back<\/a> to .500 territory. Both offenses have been lighting up the scoreboard all season \u2014 the Argos have gone over in all three of their games, and the Stampeders<\/a> haven’t hit the under once. At 2-1 vs. 1-2, Toronto has the edge in the standings, but McMahon Stadium is a tough place to win and Calgary is 1-1-1 ATS on the year.<\/p>\n Chad Kelly has been one of the most productive \u2014 and feast-or-famine \u2014 quarterbacks in the league this season. He’s thrown for 1,190 yards and 9 touchdowns, but also has 6 interceptions on the year. Calgary’s secondary is already banged up heading into this one, which could mean Kelly has room to operate. On the other side, Dedrick Mills has been Calgary’s workhorse out of the backfield, carrying the ball 45 times for 273 yards. If the Stamps can establish the run and keep Kelly on the sideline, they’ve got a real shot at this.<\/p>\n Players to Watch:<\/p>\n Chad Kelly (Toronto, QB) \u2014 9 TDs and 1,190 yards through three games, but 6 picks make him a boom-or-bust watch; Calgary’s secondary depth issues could bring out his best. Injury Watch:<\/p>\n Reggie Begelton (Calgary, WR) \u2014 Out (knee); a big loss for the Stamps’ passing game. Pick: Toronto 35-32. Kelly’s arm \u2014 and Calgary’s mounting injury problems on defense \u2014 give the Argos the edge on the road, and both teams going over fits the season trend perfectly.<\/p>\n CFL Standings<\/p>\n TeamWLPFPA<\/p>\n Edmonton Elks308468 Quick Hits<\/p>\n Calgary added receiver Ajou Ajou to the roster but he’s currently serving a league suspension \u2014 one to watch for when he’s eligible to play.

\nLineCalgary -1 | O\/U 60<\/p>\n
\nDedrick Mills (Calgary, RB) \u2014 273 yards on 45 carries is the engine of this Calgary offense; if he can grind down Toronto’s front, the Stamps control the clock.
\nKevin Mital (Toronto, WR) \u2014 17 catches for 325 yards and a TD; Kelly’s go-to target and a real threat against a Calgary secondary missing key pieces.<\/p>\n
\nDakoda Shepley (Toronto, OL) \u2014 Transferred to six-game injury list; protection in front of Kelly takes a hit.
\nJaydon Grant (Calgary, DB) \u2014 Transferred to single-game injury list; secondary depth already thin.
\nR.J. Moten (Calgary, LB) \u2014 Transferred to reserve roster; Calgary’s linebacker corps taking on water.
\nAlexander Teubner (Toronto, DB) \u2014 Transferred to six-game injury list; secondary depth worth monitoring.
\nEric Rascoe (Calgary, LB) \u2014 Out (back); single-game injury extended heading into Thursday.<\/p>\n

\nReggie Begelton’s knee injury is the biggest storyline for Calgary’s offense; losing your top receiver heading into a must-win home game is a rough break for the Stamps.
\nFantasy tip: Kevin Mital is a must-start in CFL fantasy this week \u2014 Calgary’s depleted secondary and Kelly’s hot stretch make him a high-upside play on Thursday night.
\nSamuel Hicks is quietly one of the better rushing backs in the East at 209 yards on 32 carries \u2014 Toronto’s two-headed attack on the ground gives them a dimension Calgary will need to account for.<\/p>\n
