Four teams. Three playoff spots. Winnipeg, Hamilton, Edmonton and BC are all battling over third in the West, second in the East and third in the East, which could be potentially a crossover spot. BC, Edmonton and Hamilton are all tied with identical 6 and 7 records, with Winnipeg a game back at 5 and 8. Interestingly for this analysis, Edmonton plays BC and Hamilton plays Winnipeg. In the West, one team ends up even at 7 and 7 while the other team ends up 6 and 8 and battling for the crossover. If Hamilton wins, they are safely ensconced in second at 7 and 7, while Winnipeg at 5 and 8 is one game back of the crossover. Conversely if Winnipeg wins, both Hamilton and Winnipeg are tied at 6 and 8 along with one team in the West, however with the crossover, the team in the West must have more points than the East team to get the crossover. In this scenario, things are obviously quite tight going down the stretch. Meaningful games after Labour Day are a rarity for Ticat fans in this decade and it could end up that the Cats final game in Winnipeg could be critical. Hopefully the Cats wipe out Mike Kelly, Michael Bishop and Doug Brown this week down at the Wynne and let the Bombers sort out the crossover.
Drew Edwards is reporting on the Scratching Post that Quinton Porter will start and that Obie is bringing in another kicker. Tabernac! Glad I didn't get Setta's name on my jersey.
