Blue Bombers Can Clinch CFL Playoff Position with Win over B.C. Lions
A Winnipeg victory would clinch a postseason berth and could reshape West and East semifinal matchups, with Calgary also in the mix.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers enter the final week of the CFL regular season controlling their playoff fate. Winnipeg faces the Lions on Friday night needing a victory to secure a postseason berth.
Edmonton and the Lions have cemented the top two spots in the West. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have clinched a playoff spot but are fighting for third or fourth place.
If the Bombers and the Riders both win, Saskatchewan finishes third and faces the Lions in the West semifinal. A Winnipeg win and Saskatchewan loss would leave the Bombers in third place.
The Montreal Alouettes and the Toronto Argonauts have clinched first and second place in the East. The fourth-place West team will cross over to visit Toronto in the East semifinal.
Watching the final weekend intently, the Calgary Stampeders end their season on a bye week. If Winnipeg and Saskatchewan both lose, Calgary would finish third ahead of the fourth-place Roughriders.
