Toronto Argonauts/Hamilton Tiger-Cats: tough times for the Ti-Cats late in the season. Collaros was having an MVP year before he went down and Hamilton has had trouble winning in his absence. But their defence still gave up 108 points less than the Argonauts this year and the Cats did beat Toronto three times with Collaros at the helm. Can one of Hamilton's back-up QBs win three straight in an epic salute to underdog excellence, thoroughly supported by outstanding defensive play? Or will Collaros make a surprise return and orchestrate another exceptional onslaught? Who knows, but either way I'm taking the Tabbies. They've got the defence and they're playing at home. They're going to have to play well to win, but playing well comes naturally to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Bring on the epic. Go Ti-Cats Go!
B.C Lions/Calgary Stampeders: Statistically speaking, this match-up seems like a straightforward win for Calgary, as long as they don't prepare in a straightforward fashion. They won 7 more games than B.C during the regular season, scored 41 more points, had 140 fewer points scored against them, defeated the Lions twice, and finished the year with a record well above 500. But this is the CFL Playoffs and it is only one game. B.C could severely punish the Stampeders with unrelenting athleticism each and every quarter to ensure that they live to face Edmonton in the Western Final. I'm thinking that doesn't happen though. Picking Calgary.
