We're in week 15 of the CFL season, and it's all Calgary Stampeders, who at 12-2 lead the entire league by three full games, clinching their playoff spot seemingly years in advance.
With their 31-24 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders Friday night, coupled with Edmonton's one point loss to Toronto Saturday, Calgary stretched their lead over those two clubs to three games with four to play before playoffs start in November.
Much like last year, the WIDE gap between the East and West divisions is what stands out when you glance at the standings - before Hamilton's victory on Saturday and Winnipeg's surprise loss to bottom feeder Ottowa Redblacks 42-20, all five teams in the West had better records than all four teams in the East! Hamilton leads the East at 6-7 (you read that right), while Winnipeg fell to 6-8 with their loss, last in the West and a game behind the BC Lions.
Last year's champions, the Toronto Argonauts, host their division rivals, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, for first place in the division Friday night with four weeks to go in the season! Saturday, Ottawa travels to Vancouver to play the BC Lions, and on Monday the 13th, there's a pair of games: Saskatchewan at Montreal, and then Winnipeg at Edmonton.
