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.) Quote
