Love those late Saturday evening games - interferes with Saturday Nite Live - featuring Alec Baldwin as Donny Trump, Kate McKinnon as Hilary - w/ The Weekend doing musical chores.
From my perspective - neither team winning really effects my bombers. Wpg. has to win another game to certify a playoff position - and the two teams they play (twice each) are Ottawa & BC.
Right now both are somewhat superior to Wpg.
BC, Edmonton & Calgary will fight it out for the western berth in the Grey Cup while Winnipeg needs to rally down the stretch to secure a wildcard (I really don't think the bombers are up to the task of winning 4 remaining games and challenging BC for 2nd in west)
If BC sacks the redblacks tonite - they'll finish 2nd in west to be sure. That means Edmonton has the choice of whether to play all-out and only snag 3rd in West or coast a bit and let Winnipeg be the 3rd place bambis in west. Cool choice.
Can't see Edmonton losing out - they hold the tie-break against Wpg. so perhaps both teams finish 9-9 and Wpg. gets sentenced to the crossover.
Must say - for the bombers they'll have a better chance toppling Hamilton or Ottawa (especially if Zach Collaros is nicked) than facing BC and/or Calgary.
Everyone go to bed? lol Decided to tune in tonight, just for the hell of it. Entertaining game so far. Nice back and forth. Not many penalties or challenges. Best game I've seen in months.
