GA Russell's Semi-Finals picks

Toronto over Ottawa (Speaking broadly, the Redblacks have been uncompetitive for about two months.)

BC over Sask (The Riders spent the year winning games while looking very ordinary.  BC will start Adams.  The Lions have looked Grey Cup-worthy when Adams has played.)

This thread's view count stands today at 414,500.  That's an increase of 2,800 in the past 7 days.  Can that be right?

Toronto 58....Ottawa 38

The 96 points ties the league record for most points in a playoff game.  It was an exciting game until the Argos pulled away with two pick-sixes in the fourth.  In a nutshell, the Ottawa defensive backfield did not have an answer for Kelly's passes.

Sask 28....BC 19

The Lions were able to stay within striking distance, but couldn't get it done as the fourth quarter ran down.

This is odd.  The Alouettes have taken Daniel Oladejo off the Ottawa practice roster.  Theoretically, he could play in the Grey Cup Final, even though Ottawa's season is over.

GA Russell's Finals picks

Montreal over Toronto (The Argos are on a roll ["peaking at the right time," as they say].  But the Als were clearly the best team in the league until they clinched first place.  Now that they are again playing a game they need to win, I expect the Als to do what needs to be done.)

Winnipeg over Sask (The Riders have been a mystery to me all year.  Every week they look like no big deal, but come out with the win.  After a poor start, the Bombers have returned to their old form, and I expect them to dominate.  That said, I'm a fan of Trevor Harris, and I would love to see him win a Grey Cup as a starter.)
