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.

Totally agree with this.

Bla bla bla Montreal. Schielefe now Jets point leader. On to talking about the Leafs game. Second intermission I turned to something else.

Nope unfortunately unless I missed him getting an assist.

Goal, fight and blocked shot?

He must practice those moves in a mirror. Okay give me my ‘fighting thru an injury’ look, okay here’s my ‘what a warrior’ move and finally my ‘this score is not my fault’ pose.

I'm surprisingly comfortable with pretty much whatever happens. I'd really prefer no Sask at PAS, but am comfortable with whatever happens ..

We should see some good playoff football this year.

VAJ is getting his excuses ready... Took a hit while still in the game up 38-7 or some **** and was immediately limping and grabbing at his hip. Toronto might have looked worse in this game than any team I've seen all season, including us and Ottawa. Still calling Leos and Als...
