With just three weeks to go, the CFL playoff picture is now much clearer but there is still some situations to be determined.
In week 18:
- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers continued their dominant stretch of play by pulverizing the Hamilton TigerCats, 31-10 for their eighth win in a row;
- Despite zero touchdowns from their offence, the B.C. Lions relied on their defence, powered by a 23-point fourth quarter which included a pick-six, and a fumble return for a touchdown to defeat the Calgary Stampeders, 32-15;
- And on Saturday night in Edmonton, the Saskatchewan Roughriders had a pair of 100-yard receivers, as the duo of Samuel Emilus and KeeSean Johnson helped the riders narrowly defeat the Elks, 28-24.
Because of these results, Ottawa, Saskatchewan, and B.C. all clinched their playoff spots.
As for us, it was a nice bounce-back week as we both went 2/3. Jordy is now 30/54 on the year while Bowen is now 27/54, and back to .500. However, Jordy got a huge win in the head-to-head to increase the lead to 10-7 plus a tie, with just three weeks to go in the regular season. A win this week and Jordy wins the head-to-head match-up.
Let's see what week 19 has in store:
| BEST BET | PROP BET | HEAD-TO-HEAD |
|
Jordy - Montreal over Ottawa Bowen - Saskatchewan over B.C. |
Jordy - Edmonton-Calgary over 50.5 Bowen - Calgary Stampeders Reggie Begelton anytime touchdown |
Jordy - Toronto Bowen - Winnipeg |
Playoff scenarios
Toronto - can clinch a playoff spot with a win or a tie against Winnipeg.
Saskatchewan - a win clinches a home playoff game.
Winnipeg - can clinch West Division title and right to host west finals with a win or tie or a Saskatchewan tie or loss will clinch.
