Well, Hamilton won the pivotal game with Montreal, 29-15, to secure not only a playoff spot but also the Eastern Division title at 9-9. (Hence, the three team round-robin went to all three home teams, as we expected!) With Saskatchewan's (surprise) win over Edmonton, 24-17, the Grey Cup playoffs are set:
Next Sunday, the BC Lions go to Montreal to play the Alouettes; the winner gets to play the East Division champion Hamilton Tiger-Cats. All three of these teams finished the season 9-9.
Meanwhile, in the West, there'll be a rematch of yesterday's last game of the regular CFL season, Saskatchewan @ Edmonton. Of course, the winner will travel to play the regular season champs, the Calgary Stampeders.
The winners of the conference title games in Calgary and Hamilton play on November 30th in BC Place for the 102nd Grey Cup. Incidentally, the Lions have a chance to become the fourth consecutive team to play in their home stadium for the title!
