A little girl goes into a pet shop and asks to buy a pet bunny rabbit. Montreal by 21. The shop assistant looks at her and smiles, asking her "Would you like a floppy eared bunny or a white bunny?". Saskatchewan by 12. The little girl thinks for a moment before replying. Calvillo. "I don't actually think my python gives a shit." Saskatchewan.

PointSpreads for this weekend are:
Montreal -91/2
Saskatchewan -21/2
And eventhough he is surely out of the hunt (if he was ever in it other than for comparison sake anyway), Schultzie has the ALS by 6 and the RIDERS by 5.

Perry Lefko from Sportsnet, who deems himself as "peerless" among prognosticators is calling for an Alouette-Rider Grey Cup too. Als win but don't cover, and the Riders win but do this week ... or so he says.

I think it'll be great if BC makes it interesting on Sunday. I mean why wouldn't they? But in the end, Montreal deserves to be back in the Cup. For things to be right in the world, sometimes the best team does deserve to win ... and does. This will be the case. Sure BC flared up late, but Montreal has been dominant all season long. Trestman will surely be lured back to a HC job in the NFL next season too, so it'd be nice to see him go out on a winning note. Any doubt who I'm picking? Montreal by 7 ... and that might be a late seven too.
Sorry Stamps ... not this year. Y'all just ain't dangerous consistently enough. The Riders on the other hand ... they seem loose. Durant is comin' along nicely. And it isn't like they're comin' out of the drought to get back in the big game ... they've got some experience there not too long ago. Stamps might be defending champs, but repeat champs they are not. Saskatchewan by 18. First half lead and they don't look back.
Most yards passing? Calvillo
Most QB sacks? Saskatchewan

Out West, Calgary silences Arkee Whitlock and holds off the Edmonton comeback to make their way back to the division final. Back East, it was vintage Casey Printers who showed up: despite Hamilton's dramatic last-minute comeback to tie, Printers threw the last of his 360 passing yards to seal the deal in overtime.
In kicking news, veteran kicker Paul McCallum leads the pack with 16 points.
Reever and dfleming both nail the Calgary spread to jump to the top. Also nobody got the bonus, so I left it off.
Division Finals
B.C. @ Montreal (Sunday, November 22)
All the numbers point Montreal's way. They piled up fifteen wins this season (SEVEN more than the Lions), they're dominant at home, they scored the most points in the league while allowing the fewest, and they haven't lost a big game at the Big O since... well, forget that last point. But despite their sheer awesomeness, they know that the Lions always play them tough, and Casey Printers just came off a monster game. Are the Lions a sexy underdog pick this weekend?
Calgary @ Saskatchewan (Sunday, November 22)
Like you thought it would be any different. These two titans have danced around each other for the last three months, and now the last song is startin' up. Both teams put together a 10-7-1 record, with that one tie coming against each other, of course. Both teams scored exactly 514 points. Calagary allowed 41 fewer points, if you're counting, but Taylor Field is the ultimate home-field advantage. I don't envy anyone for having to pick a winner here.
Offensive Bonus
Pick the quarterback that will accrue the highest passing yardage. For your reference: 2009 Passing Leaders
Defensive Bonus
Pick the team that will accrue the most quarterback sacks. For your reference: 2009 Sack Leaders
Good luck!
