The Stamps haven't beat the Riders in a playoff game since 1994. That includes losses in 1997, 2006, 2007, 2009, & 2010. Most of those games the Stamps were favored and playing at home.

fair enough, i should say possible instead, although they could still play the eskimoes, not that a Stamps win in the playoffs is ever that likely, but we did sweep the eskies so far. actually an Edmonton-Calgary semi would be interesting after the two play the last game of the season. If the Stamps lose the last game it may give the Esks the 3rd spot (they have the tie breaker vs the Riders), so Edmonton would have to beat the Stamps two games in a row. the other scenario is the Stamps beat them and play Sask, in which case who knows. We will have to see what plays out this weekend first though.
edit: we plan on going to the second half (my wife isn't a big football fan and gets cold easily, so 3 hours of -7 or whatever it will be isn't an option). If the game meant something in the standings (should have been a first place battle game) I would go to the whole game
