Calgary Stampeders/Ottawa Redblacks: one game remains to be played in the 2016 CFL season, and only one team can triumphantly emerge victorious. An unvanquished foe. Calgary seems unbeatable, having easily dispatched the Lions last Sunday even though they had rested for what must have seemed like an eternity, their offence the most potent, their defence the best in the league. The Redblacks managed to tie them early on this season but the Stampeders came back to crush them in the rematch, 48-23. The 2016 Calgary Stampeders are in fact one of the best CFL teams ever, according to cfl.ca, but that doesn't mean Ottawa will blatantly cower and meekly rollover. If they can hold Calgary to field goals 75% of the time and Burris shows up to executively executive, this game could be close. But don't bet on it, no no no, I wouldn't bet on that. Calgary's simply too good and even though I'm cheering for the Redblacks, Ottawa is going to need to score on special teams, convert multiple risky third downs, and use impeccable trickery to bellicosely bring the Cup home. I'm thinking the Stampeders stomp, shut them down. As far as I know, they haven't played a team from Ottawa in the Grey Cup since 1968, a game which the Rough Riders won. Hoping the Redblacks mercurially manoeuvre. Picking the Stampeders by 17.
*Wow
