I actually think the Stamps have a chance to win it this year. Not because of their amazing offense, but because of their defense and how it has been a vast improvement over the past few seasons.

The last few playoff years, if the offense couldn't get it done the Stamps were screwed cause they couldnt stop a thing, they were brutal. This year however, they are a good unit. They allowed the second fewest points in the league IIRC, and theyve been able to make the big play which was not the case in years past.

You know the Lions will get their shots at Burris just cause their front 7 are so good, so if 'Frank' is playing today we can at least have faith that the D can make some big plays and keep them in the game.

Also, Buono teams always seem to have motivation problems when the playoffs come around. Just look at the Stamps in the 90s - they were the class of the league. But how many Grey Cups did they win for all those great seasons, only 2. (although they did have a miracle GC win in `01 as well, with the great Marcus Crandell at the helm). And in this decade, his lions have arguably been one of the perennial top teams in the league, and they only have 1 GC to speak of.

I think the Stamps will pull this one out in a close one.
