It's time to breakdown playoff scenarios in the CFL. Kudos to the CFL schedule maker this year as week 19 should be a dandy with 3 of the 4 match-ups having playoff implications.
So with a quick look, three teams have made the playoffs, one team as been eliminated. Leaving four teams for three playoff spots. And since the cross-over is in play a tie-game may make the difference the best way to break this down is to tell you how the four teams that haven't clinched, could miss out on the playoffs.
Hamilton (8-9) misses the Playoffs if they lose to Winnipeg AND Edmonton and BC Tie.
Winnipeg (7-10) misses the Playoffs if they lose or tie to Hamilton
Edmonton (8-9) misses the Playoffs if they lose to BC AND Winnipeg wins
BC (8-9) misses the Playoffs if they lose to Edmonton AND Winnipeg wins
Good thing the game between Winnipeg and Hamilton is on Sunday after all of Friday and Saturday's action.
Now the interesting thing in all of this is if Edmonton and BC tie, they both make the Playoffs. With Edmonton making the jump to the East in the cross-over to face either Hamilton or Winnipeg on the road.
In the West Division title chase both Saskatchewan and Calgary have clinched a home playoff date. However they face off in Riderville Saturday night with a first round bye on the line. If Saskatchewan wins then Calgary will host the winner of Edmonton and BC in the Division Semi-final on November 15th. If Calgary wins or ties (don't rule it out) Saskatchewan they will have home field for their entire palyoff run.
Montreal, they know their date that's November 22nd at the Big O versus either or the remaining playoff hopefuls (Winnipeg, Hamilton, Edmonton or BC)
Toronto, we'll they can go catch the Leafs at the ACC on Saturday night against the Red Wings.
