this is what i think will happen in the playoff race in the west.
BC will walk away with the division
Sask- will crossover and be 3 in the east
2 and 3 in the west will go down to the last game of the season nov. 6 when the stamps host the esks (get your tickets now). Calgary will win this game and host the esks again one week later.
as for the east i don't really care because what ever team advances to the grey cup will lose to the west.
NO WAY!!! NO matter who has the cross over …the… WESTERN TEAM… has to go through…TORONTO or MONTREAL , in their houses.
GOOD LUCK…You are reading to much into the total points in each division…I THINK…They are mis leading.
hellothere, Sask is tough, as is every other CFL team. But i am confident the Lions can make it to the Grey Cup no matter who they play. I'd be more worried about Sask if Burris was still there.
Nobody worries me too much, especially when the Lions play at home in the playoffs in front of close to 60,000. BC Place is a tough place for opponents to play at the best of times, but throw in another 25,000 on top of what we get in the regular season and it's hell on earth for teams to play the Lions there.
I don’t understand how almost everyone picks the riders to be the one crossing over. Edmonton has lost two straight, and has a good chance of losing tonight. Calgary is on its 3rd string QB right now, and Sask has one the last 4 games, including one against the best tema in the east, and at that time, the 2nd best in the West. I am not saying the Riders won’t be the ones crossing over, but they definetly have just as good a chance to make 3rd or even 2nd in the west.
I Could Forsee Them Making 3rd, Or Maybe Even 2nd Place In The West However There's Very Little Chance Of Them Crossing Over Into The East. Since All Of Ottawa's Remaining Games Are Against Eastern Teams They're Not Very Likely To Miss Out On A Playoff Spot Without Giving Another Team (Hamilton) Enough Points To Prevent A Cross Over. Plus If You Look At Saskatchewan's Remaining Games It's A Much More Difficult Schedual. They Play Montreal, BC And Calgary.
I see Ottawa finishing at 7-11, meaning they will go 2-3 in their next 5 games. Then all Sask and Calgary has to do is win 1 more game to be the crossover team.
All 3 teams (Edm, Sask, and Cal) are playing really good right now so it’ll be hard to predict which order they will finish. Although Cal. does have an easier schedule left and have the season series against the Riders won unless Sask gives them the same drubbing they gave us.
I think even with the way the Riders are playing right now it’ll be tough to jump ahead of Calgary and Edmonton. But they do play each team once more and both those games will be a major factor in where they finish.
