Playoff time. The games don't get much more important than this. Two teams will see their seasons end on Sunday, while the other two will go on to the Division Finals. The closest season in recent CFL history has five more games to excite, surprise and entertain.
East Division Semi-Final: Hamilton at Montreal
All signs point to Montreal. They are the two-time defending champs, they'll be at home, and they have one of the greatest Quarterbacks to ever play the game. All signs point away from Hamilton. They haven't won a playoff game in 10 years, they were 2-7 on the road in 2011, and they haven't won in Montreal since 2002. But for reasons other than homerism, I just feel like Hamilton is ready to take that next step. They have no pressure and no expectations; everyone thinks they are going to get trounced. But something in my gut tells me they are going to find a way to pull it out. Call me crazy, but I think the Cats are headed to Winnipeg.
Winner: Hamilton, 27-24
West Division Semi-Final: Calgary at Edmonton
The Battle of Alberta, one of the fiercest rivalries in the CFL. Edmonton won the season series against the Stamps, but that was before Calgary made two huge changes in benching Quarterback Henry Burris and Running Back Joffrey Reynolds for Drew Tate and Jon Cornish. This will be a different Stampeder team than the one Edmonton faced in the regular season. The Stamps will move on to BC.
Winner: Calgary, 31-27
Recap
Hamilton, Calgary
Season Record: 41-31

i think you have to pick the Tiger Cats here, or else I would say that you have no faith and aren't a true fan! lol
ReplyDeleteGo Cats Go!
I'm interested to read what you have to say regarding Stevie Baggs being healthy-scratched. It seems like a terrible move, gotta get Shakespeare out there against Calvillo. I'll buy Johnson against the Bombers next week - but isn't Baggs of greater importance tomorrow?
