first off, the big turkey day game - Stamps vs Riders.
winner takes the season series and the leg up on the division, loser falls 2 points back of first and in a three way tie for 2nd.
well this game wasn't even close. from the start the Stampeders took a 10-1 lead, after a game of many turnovers, which the Stampeders capitalized on for 27 points, the Riders fell the the Stamps 42-5. the Riders managed to muster more yards passing than the Stamps (not by much) but could only produce a field goal and two singles. 7 turnovers will do that. you can't win turning the ball over.
after the weekend, including an Edmonton win over BC, the Stamps were 10-5, 2 points ahead of BC, Sask, and Edmonton, with the tie breaker in hand vs the Leos and Riders with only three games left.
tonight the 3rd last week started in what was a close game wherein BC defeated Edmonton 42-28, taking the season series en route to a temporary tie with calgary for first. Edmonton will likely finish the weekend in last, as the Riders play the lowly Ticats (who had thier playoff hopes officially extinguished last week), im giving the riders a win there. Calgary plays Winnipeg tomorrow, and with a win over the 6-9 Bombers will move back into sole possetion of first
The Stampeders can win the division with 2 wins in their last 3 games garunteed. they finish the season vs Winnipeg, Hamilton and BC.
as for the Flames, the picture isn't quite the same, albeit early on.
the Flames have played 4 games and have a record of 1-2-1, after falling to rival Edmonton tonight 4-3. they play a return match in Edmonton tomorrow night. the Flames have scored alot lately, but theyve given up over 4 goals a game on average so far.
luckily there are still 78 games left to turn it around.
in Baseball the Phillies are in the world series, awaiting the winner of the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa bay Rays.
thats all for now, im off to the Stamps vs Bombers game tomorrow
