Lip gloss wins for sure...

As much as a turd as the Vaj can be at times....id take him as a starter over anything we currently have

Mtl I doubt rests guys as they have a chance to still get first...so they will bring their A game and based on what we saw vs edm...and last week and the riders scrubs...Likely trounce us and its off to the east...Likely for another trouncing...I hope for us to be the first team to come out of the east as the crossover..and win at home as Eastern Champs...but I also not delusional either

Whew, it's complicated. BC is 2 - 0 vs. Calgary Winnipeg is 2 - 0 vs. B.C.

I believe thats only if a winner isn't determined in a 3 way tie. But because Calgart would be 3-2 and the Lions were 2-2 then Calgary would get 2nd.

There was definitely something about us losing out in a 4 way tie. Not sure about the 3 way tie. But that seems likely as well

JT seems to be starting to find his groove again, looked really good on that pass for the 4th goal. Other than that meltdown in that one period against Dallas, they've looked really solid so far.

The one thing people miss is that they don't take the winner of the tiebreak scenario, they dump the loser. So because Winnipeg has the worst round-robin W% of the group they get dropped, and then the tiebreaker resolves between CGY-BC

Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 6PM Standings below:

Winnipeg has a 2-3 record against BC and Calgary. Lions are 2-2, so they have a higher winning percentage and would get 3rd in the West. Even if their record was the same in the games with the other tied clubs, the Lions also would have the next tie breaker which is points for and against in their games with Winnipeg and Calgary. Lions are plus 16 and Bombers are minus 16.

I didnt realize this until it was too late lol

I thought I read something about how if there's a 3 way tie, we finish last of that group... Can't remember why

One of those predicted scenarios is incorrect. Winnipeg wins, BC, Calgary loses - Bombers finish third. All 3 teams would finish 10 - 8, Bombers have the season series vs. B.C.

It all comes down to coaching and how the coaches deal with it.

I feel like all home teams win next week .. Hamilton, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Sask all win.... I think the Riders play starters for at least part of the game to get them reps....

The Lions need to set their roster before the Stamps game. Sure they can make changes but the players they add to the roster need to come from the practice roster. Also if Calgary lose, BC still aren't guaranteed 2nd. If the Bombers win then there would be a 3 way tie and the Lions would be 3rd in the West The Lions play by play guy outlines the scenarios nicely:

Calgary also needs to win for the Bombers to get 3rd in the West. Otherwise it's a 3 way tie and the Bombers get the crossover over. Also BC isn't going to lose as all they have to do is beat the Riders and they get 2nd place.

I'm torn on this. If they do go with scrubs again, it means most of their starters have sat for close to a month - do they want to roll into the playoffs cold? I expect them to play the A team (at least part of the game). BC may wait to see what Calgary does as well before determining their final roster as well. If Calgary loses to Edmonton, that gives the Lions 2nd place making their game against Sask meaningless.

I mean if we win and BC losses we get third but the Riders likely play their C Squad again.

He has so much Burris in him....

We can pass BC can't we? I sit nobody. We use it to try to get better. If someone gets hurt, oh well.

So the game is meaningless from our end as we can't pass Calgary and BC. Its the ESF for us. To me, they should sit Zach to keep him healthy. I'd also like to see Shay and Smith gets reps at linebacker. Call me crazy, but it would be nice to see our two high draft picks get actual reps on D.
