Playoff picture

[Tecno]

I heard that if the Bombers are the visitors they would still be able to use their own locker room.

Ya, any other way would make zero sense.  And I can't see even the hated Riders trying to impose the visitor's locker room on us.

Of course, it's all wishes and dreams at this point.  Hard to see how we pull off a miracle to beat MTL with Alexander...  And first we have to make the crossover instead of being totally eliminated!  Another Murphy's Law + low NRG game next week and maybe we miss out completely.  Now THAT would blow up this whole organization...

The Riders may rest guys Friday. We may come out like we did last home game. In other words, I can see us winning Friday and clinching. I could also see BC beating Edmonton making what we do moot. I do think a healthy Montreal on the road is a tough foe.

Both our last 2 games are at home.

Montreal lost the season series with Hamilton. Hamilton plays there last game before we play the Als. It appears the Als have to win out and the TiCats need to lose their last game for the Als to have a chance at finishing 1st.

In that sense, it's very probable that the Als may end up sitting many starters when they play us. Alexander hasn't played much lately due to injury so that may change the picture somewhat. However I expect several starts to not play and avoid injury.

However it does appear we'll be the crossover team and will play the Als in Montreal a week after we play them in our last regular season game at home. That's not the best scenario but it is what it is.

that last game might mean more to the Als than us.  we may have the cross over locked up and Al's could still be playing for first. 

lots to be settled

Mathematically that it true but not probable. The Als and TiCats both play Ottawa again. The TiCats will be looking to beat down the Redblacks and ensuring a 1st place finish. That happens before they play us.

Redblacks are already in tryout mode and not likely to win another game in 2025.

The other issue is that the Als won't want to show anything new with an expectation of playing us in the ESF.  Whereas we may be the team fighting to win a playoff spot.
