The last week of the season is here! Lots of uncertainty this week.
HAM @ OTT -2
Hamilton has been hot the last month of the season but are already eliminated from the playoffs. Ottawa is now on a 5 game losing streak and are 6-1-1 at home. Bo Levi is the leagues first 5000 yard passer since 2018 but his team won't be making the playoffs.
Ottawa is also not playing for anything but they need this game. They've lost 5 in a row and need to get back on track and build some momentum for the playoffs. Dru Brown will be starting which is a big deal for Ottawa. If the TiCats beat Ottawa, they'll be the first 8 win team to miss the playoffs since 2014. Ottawa wins and covers.
28-21 RedBlacks
TOR @ EDM +1
This is a meaningless game for the Argos. They just want to get in and out of this game healthy and don't care what the scoreboard says. I like Toronto to get to the Grey Cup.
Edmonton's players are basically in rehearsal mode playing for jobs or to play somewhere else next year. It looks like Tre is going to start. The Elks are also coming off a bye. With the Elks wanting to end their season on a high and playing their starters, and the Argos not caring about the outcome of the score and just want to get out of the game healthy. I like Edmonton to win and cover.
26-16 Elks
WPG -5.5 @ MTL
It's too bad Montreal isn't playing for anything in this one, otherwise it would have been a great game. Winnipeg needs to win or tie to take first place in the West. They will give it their all as an extra bye week in the playoffs is huge for this older/veteran team. The Bombers are also coming off a bye.
We are not sure what Maas will do with his players. Fajardo threw 9 passes last week but does he want to give his QB some more playing time before playoffs? Especially since Montreal has next week off and hasn't really played meaningful football the last month. I imagine the starters will play a bit, maybe 1-2 quarters. But the urgency level for the Bombers is high in this one whereas there is no urgency for Montreal other then to get fine tuned before playoffs.
32-23 Bombers

If Montreal somehow beats Winnipeg then Mosaic Stadium will be absolutely on fire and it will be a bloody murder for the Stamps. If Montreal loses, I still imagine the Riders will be playing their starters for at least half the game since they have to release their starting lineups as they don't know what will happen in the Bombers game. Either way I like the Riders in this spot and even more if Montreal wins. Riders are also coming off a bye.
Calgary is a mess losing 4 in a row and if they lose to the Riders this week they'll finish 0-9 on the road. Will Shiltz or Maier start? It doesn't really matter. Riders win and cover.
29-18 Riders
TEASERS: 36-8
TEASER: 7pts
EDM +8
Argos aren't playing for anything but to not get hurt and likely playing backups most of the way and we have an 8pt cushion here.
WPG +0
Bombers just need to win against Montreal not playing for anything other then to prepare for the East Finals.
SK +3
Riders win this game either way and we have a 3pt cushion just incase weird things happen.
My final power rankings for 2024:
1)Winnipeg
2)Toronto
3)Montreal
4)Saskatchewan
5)BC
6)Hamilton
7)Ottawa
8)Edmonton
9)Calgary
It was a fun season, Good luck everyone!
See you next week for playoffs.
