The CFL regular season concluded on Saturday and now the real fun is about to begin.
A 23-13 win by Saskatchewan (13-5) over the Edmonton Eskimos (8-10) secured first place in the West for the Roughriders, who will get a first-round bye.
That meant that the Calgary Stampeders (12-6) had to settle for second place, following a 21-16 win in BC (5-13). The Stamps will host a home playoff game next weekend against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (11-7).
It was much less dramatic in the East, where the first-place Hamilton Tiger-Cats (15-3) and second-place Montreal Alouettes (10-8) have known where they’d finish for weeks. Next week Montreal will host Edmonton, a crossover team from the West, in the Eastern semi-final.
