The Montreal Alouettes should win the East Semi-Final over the Edmonton Eskimos.
They feel like a stronger team overall and have a belief system going on with Khari Jones as their leader. Vernon Adams Jr. just wins.
The Eskimos are the league’s most penalized team and speculation is their head coach is about to be fired.
However, Trevor Harris’ experience in the playoffs feels like a reason to think of an upset. C.J. Gable’s return gives the Eskimos a strong run presence as well, and they have the better defence.
Esks 27; Als 24.
Out West, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to put up a heck of a fight. But Bo Levi Mitchell at home in the playoffs is undefeated.
While I would love to see Zach Collaros lead the bombers to Saskatchewan for the West Final, I think it’ll be another date in the West Final for Bo and the Stampeders.
Stamps 22; Winnipeg 18.
