Search
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will open a home-and-home series against the Montreal Alouettes on Thanksgiving Monday as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. Following last week’s loss to the Calgary Stampeders, Saskatchewan no longer controls its own playoff destiny in the West Division. The BC Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Stampeders all hold the tiebreaker over the Roughriders based on their respective season series. With Hamilton and Ottawa eliminated from postseason contention, the five Western Division teams are battling for playoff positions and seeding. The Edmonton Elks have already clinched a playoff berth and can secure a home playoff game with a victory over Hamilton on Friday. Meanwhile, BC and Calgary can clinch their spots with wins this week. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()
