I had the Kings in that series

Also had Kings in 6 vs the Devils posted here

BC Lions opened up at -6 up to -6.5 now probably be -7.5 by game time. Lions by 3 TDs.

Big difference with being favorites and blowing the Stamps out.

Especially considering they didn't blow them out in the 3 previous games this season.

[Wise Gamble]

I'm just being super bias like a lot of guys here are.

Honestly though it will be a close game but BC is just too good....especially at home.

Wow you certainly are confident especially considering a lot of the starters on offense have barely played over the last month. Lions should be favored but you think Lions by 3 TD's? I don't think so. In fact I think the Stampeders have a legitimate shot if they win the turnover battle. Lions weren't that great down the stretch and sometimes it's hard to flick the switch in the playoffs. Just ask the Canucks.

Lions have been the one consistent team all season.

Lions by 3 TD? That wouldn't be a wise gamble.

How much more consistant can you be than a team that finished 8-2 (9-2 if you count Sunday) down the stretch?

Not any more cosistent than Calgary really....and the Stamps did so with their 2nd QB most of the way.

I would admit that the Lions have been better than Cgy overall....but not by much.

I wont be surprised if the Stamps win, but do expect a very close game either way.

A team hosting the Western Final?

Uh oh:

Ian Busby ‏@SUNIanBusby

It appears Drew Tate is sitting out offensive team sessions this morning. Could be a development in this story #calstampeders

Ian Busby ‏@SUNIanBusby

With Tate sitting out, Kevin Glenn and Bo Mitchell are splitting the reps with 1st offence #calstampeders

[MissTeeks]

And:

Ian Busby ‏@SUNIanBusby

Nik Lewis fined by CFL for inappropriate tweet. He WON'T be missing West final for a suspension or anything of that nature #calstampeders

[Erick Estrada]

LOL oh well. If Glenn starts then I could see BC winning by 10. I appreciate the job he's done this year but Stubler's defense has shut him down pretty easily this season.

Interesting that Bo is getting first team reps. Unless the Stamps really believe that Glenn can't beat the Lions.

For what it's worth, I still think Mitchell is the best QB on the Stamps roster

Lions had a better first half and Calgary a better second half. Wouldn't you rather be hot going into the playoffs?

I think this is the case as I believe this was the main reason they went with Tate last week. Sucks that a dirty cheap shot may alter the plans.

[MissTeeks]

Oh good!

@SUNIanBusby: Word from Hufnagel is Tate has bruised forearm and therefore took day off. He's expected back on Thursday, as is Raymond, Smith, Fraser

And:

@vickihallch: John Hufnagel asks players not to tweet until the playoffs are done. #CFL #stamps

Ian Busby ‏@SUNIanBusby
Hufnagel on Lewis situation: "Sometimes (players) don’t understand attention people pay to them and the role models they are expected to be"

[MissTeeks]

You're a good football player Nik, but sometimes you just need to learn to shut up and do your job.

Nik Lewis: "Do I regret it? I regret they're taking money out of my pocket." What's more, he refuses to apologize #whentweetsgobad

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I had thought he matured so much over this year. Oops.

Hopefully this will blow over and he'll get past it

One step forward and two hurdle leaps back.
