If the game was in BC Place, I'd say BC wins for sure. Being outdoors at Fort Hew West, it's a toss up just because I don't trust VAJ in slightly inclement weather...

Plus the Riders have some guy named Milligan - I heard a bit of media chatter about him and he's apparently quite the player & is going to win every CFL award. 

But really though, this is my thinking as well.  The Lions have not shown that they can play well at this time of year when playing outdoors so until they do, I'm hesitant to pick them to win.  And if I'm wrong, it means the Riders lost so I'm good either way.

Weather in Regina says +7 and clear for saturday, perfect football fall weather. Id still take VAJ over Rourke at this point, got everything to lose, why not try.

big game....winner takes all...weapons available on both teams...I'd take VA/Rourkie and their offensive weapons over Harris/Whatshisname and their weapons....I also think overall as well B.C has the better coaching staff an over all depth

Campbell really effed that team up mid season....and they payed for it standings wise.....but I think they the better team

I think VAJ has a lot to prove and a chip on his shoulder with all the Rourke circle jerking. I think he has an outstanding game and beats the Riders.

Don't remember but it was that deep shot to Demski I think up the middle.

oh that one, you mean a pretty text book penalty where the db got hands on a receiver too far down the field which is a penalty every ******* time it happens regardless of whether or not the receiver runs into the db first? That's what montreal is going to be pissed off about according to our expert contrarian? man oh man....

Plus, he will be showcasing himself for a new team and maybe a fatter contract.

This one time Milligan intercepted 20 passes that he returned for TDs in one game, all while also making every tackle on special teams for a loss might I add. He also sold popcorn and soda. To Roland Milligan.

I think bc will win vs ssk. Then we will be spanking vaj but in a close game, leading to him being pulled for rourke. 
 Bc with vaj is hands down better than ssk imo.

I hear if you peel back his name plate on the jersey it says Dan Clark underneath.

He sleeps 8 hours a night!!

 

.....well, he's pretty normal in that regard.....

I heard if you say Dan Clarke 3 times....the Riders still suck

I could see this game going either way. I have no idea which BC team is going to show up. And I have no idea which VA is going to show up. I think the Riders are a bit more consistent but they do rely on a lot of turnovers.

Either win or lose,  I'm betting V.A. ends the game as an emotional wreck.

Did I ever tell you about the time Rolan Milligan took me out to go get a drink with him?

We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Milligan takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Milligan yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'

[do or die]

Would prefer BC.  Expect the Riders, though.......

I don't. The Riders are toast.

In another life, Roland Milligan was Mr. Perfect.

BC has immense talent, id definitely pluck players from their roster, I just dont believe in Campbell.

That’s exactly how I feel. When BC comes here in the cold, the Bombers pork them and it’s hilarious. Every playoff game against Sask is a nerve wracking mess win or lose.

Offensively sure. I think their D is pretty low tier, save a few individuals. 
 

I’d take Teuhema and Rene for sure though.

Yeah...sadly we had Rene too...was hurt a bit but immense talent...and didn't stop us from keeping that one Hallett who isn't near the talent and was hurt 3 straight yrs...poor roster decision there

Yeah for a Canadian too I always thought they gave up on him pretty quickly.

I should've specified, I meant more towards their offense. Their receiving corps is A-1, Oline...meh, dont care much for Stanbeck, Sean White is as good as it gets but hes 144 years old.

 

Edit: I just checked, White is 39, I just turned 40, hes a young whippersnapper.
