Comparing the NFL to the CFL is like comparing the NHL to any of the elite european leagues (KHL, Swedish Elite) While I'm sure people living in Russia or Sweden think that their hockey is the best and live and die by their team, the NHL is where the best players in the world play.
I don't even think it's that close. If an NHL team were to play against a SEL team or KHL team in a one game trial thing, it may be a close score.....within a couple goals.

Could you imagine, say, Brandon Jacobs running against CFL linebackers/defensive linemen? Not to mention the massive size difference in offensive and defensive lines. You rarely see missed tackles in the NFL. I love the CFL as much as the next guy, but it'd be a slaughterfest if you stacked 2 teams from their respective leagues against each other.....in the NFL's favor.
