edmontons website are sayin they clinch a home playoff game with a win tonite....but calgary still has 3 games remaining...so THEY would still have a shot at 2nd in the west....?
an edmonton win today puts them at 10-6 with 2 games left
calgary is at 8-7 with 3 games left
if calgary beats sask. winnipeg and edmonton they finish 11-7
if edmonton loses to bc and calgary they finish 10-8
therefore, calgary still has a chance to get a home playoff date, so i dont know what edmontons site is talkin about?...all they're doin, is stopping sask from hosting a playoff game with an eskimo win today ( sask hasnt hosted a playoff game since 1988 ).
also interesting...edmonton expects a full house of 60 000 today( sask fans making the trip )!
which is odd, since these teams ( sask and edmonton ) met in the playoffs last year, and only drew a crowd of 37 000 ( which was also at commonwealth ).
It's essentially a $500,000 game to Saskatchewan because that's the value of a home playoff date to a franchise consistently flirting with debt. But the $500,000 question is: Can the Riders stop Davis - again? The recipe for success is simple, according to Rider tackle Nate Davis.
