The Eskimos stand a better chance making it through the east than they would have through the west. The same would apply to any of the other western teams too frankly. It will be a slugfest in the west playoffs.
Right now I give the edge to Sask over BC only due to the fact that the game is outdoors in Regina. The Riders better hope for some — weather, it will help them immensly. Calgary goes 3 weeks without a meaningful game, it will be interesting to see how they hande it.
Ricky Ray is now the all time leader for passing yards in Edmonton, passing Warren Moon.
Both Calgary and Edmonton took pretty big risks IMHO by playing Ray and Burriss in what were essentially meaningless games. Yes they helped to either get or set records which was nice but why risk your stary player to injury? I suppose you could argue that it may help Burriss by keeping him sharp for one more week, especially when they have a bye week now. And Ray needed a good bounce back game after a few weeks of poor showings just for his mental game.
The playoffs will be interesteing. It's anyone's game right now in both divisions.
