The Lions have certainly got their work cut out for them. Of their remaining 7 games [including today's game] 5 of those games are against the top two teams in the CFL... SSK and Calgary! How bad can it get? My oh my, no reprieves, no mercy! They'll meet Edmonton and Winnipeg each once more. Dare I say they can ill afford to drop either of those games? Edmonton is starting to look better so they could give the Lions a difficult time. Can the Lions knock off the Riders 3 consecutive times? Will the U.S. be returning to the moon anytime soon? The tough part for the Lions is that SSK plays both Montreal and Edmonton. The way Montreal has been playing I think we know what we can expect there. Edmonton isn't a given but SSK is by far the stronger team.
I think what will happen in the weeks ahead is that the Lions will be settling for 3rd spot and will prepare to head off to either Calgary or Regina. I think Calgary and SSK will duke it out for 1st place. I also hope I'm dead wrong but that is the way I see things unfolding.
