The worst case scenario for the Stamps this late in the season and losing this game and Eskimos winning the rest of their games.
Edmonton Eskimos won the last 4 games since QB Mike Reilly came back from the injury.

Not quite Oz.
There would be a 4 point lead but each team would have 3 games left (6 pts) so if the Stamps lost them all and Esks win theirs, Edmonton would be in 1st.
But essentially, yes, this game is for 1st place.
Hopefully they have worked out their issues on Special teams...my god that has become a nightmare.
Reilly needs to be hit a few times and not allowed to run around. If that happens the odds are exponentially better that the Stamps win.
BLM needs to start stretching the field earlier in the game as well. Put the long ball in the Esks defensive minds and the underneath game gets easier too.
Should be a good one though...been a long time since these two teams have played so late in the year where it meant something.
