How They Match-Up according to the Herald this morning:

When the Stamps run:
No team ran the ball better than Calgary this season. On the other hand, No team defended the rush worse than Saskatchewan.
ADVANTAGE: Calgary

When Stamps pass:
QB Henry Burris saved his best games for the back half of the season; it wasn't a coincidence that his upswing coincided with the return of Ken-Yon Rambo after knee surgery. The Stamps boast a deep, dangerous receiving corps. The Sasktchewan secondary is dangerous, especially league INT leader James Patrick. Rambo, Bryant and Lewis VS Patrick and Kornegy.
Advantage: Calgary

When the Riders run:
Wes Cates has been written off more times that he cares to remember; but give the man a credit; even with a patchwork O-Line in front of him, he finds a way to produce. Stamps front-seven fills gaps better than any defense in the league.
Advantage: Calgary

When the Riders pass:
For all the talk about Durant's league-high 22 INTs, he's still imposing man for the Stamps to deal with. No QB has torched rge Stamps secondary over the past couple seasons more than Durant. Calgary has an athletic quick secondary, but the Riders gives them fit.
Advantage: Riders

Special teams:
Punters and return games pretty much equal. The difference will be the kicker. Calgary rookie kicker Rob Maver beat out Riders K Warren Kean in the Stamps training camp this season. Maver had some issues with longer kicks; but he was nails-tough in key games and key situations. The same can't be said for Kean, who looked awfully shaky in the West Semi-Final vs the Lions. If it is going to be a battle of kickers, I think the Stamps will have a better chance of winning this game.
Advantage: Calgary

Game Time: 2:30pm, Mc Mahon Stadium
Televised: TSN
Game Time temperature is going to be -16C with snow flurries

GO STAMPS GO!!
