Stamps should be favoured. But I'd put the line at 2.5

Home field is almost always automatically worth 3....then the line makers go from there. Calgary has a superior QB and defense...Bombers have a better running game and are way healthier as well as hotter down the stretch.
Im surprised it isnt a little bit higher myself.

Human error is a part of human officials, and that play was blocked from the head officials view. Alternate officials may have been looking at other things.
Frustrating but it will never change as long as humans are part of the equation. The players themselves earn more and make more mistakes.

There’s human error and there is the CFL. This league even messes up reviews in the booth. All leagues have their officiating issues, but the CFL is a clown show. It’s so bad you have to conserve your challenges for late in the game even if there is something blatant missed because you can safely assume another error will take place.

Why? Stampeders are the better team and have home field advantage. Should be closer to 6.5 points IMO.

This isn't the September or summer Stampeders. I don't agree they're the clearly better team right now.

4.5 points still means it has to be at least a two score game, and it’s not disrespectful to the Bombers at all. The line seems about what I would expect... that being said I still plan on hammering -4.5.
I should also mention that I’m a big dumb idiot and not a great gambler.

Agreed, never makes me feel better when it is reviewed by the clowns at command center, basically a monkey spinning a wheel to get the result.

I do. Best defense in the league and Mitchell is likely going to be MOP. Two major advantages in the critical areas as I think that special teams are a wash. I think the Stamps are going to make a statement this weekend. Let's be honest here in that the Bombers barely beat a Brandon Bridge quarterbacked team. If a very mediocre Collaros starts that game were are discussing a Riders vs Stampeders Western Final. Bombers are just a good team but not a great team and I feel the Stampeders will have their best game in weeks this weekend as Dickenson has saved some of his tricks for the playoffs.

Cool. I disagree. I think a lot has changed since September and the Stamps look very meh to me. At the risk of this post aging poorly I actually think the Bombers are a far more complete football team right now than the Stampeders.

Far more complete? We will see.

No other trash-talking lives up to the polite but firm disagreement of two CFL fan-bases that actually kinda respect each other.

Bombers defence has been an issue last 3 years. I kept saying last 2 seasons that there was no way to win a championship with that D, and they did blow up in playoff games as expected.
This season something happened 4 games in, can't say what happened or how but the D suddenly became compitent, then dominant. Bombers D is either the best in the league right now or #2. I combine that with Harris and our offensive line and I'll put this team against anyone in the league right now. Sunday should be a great game.

Shutting down Harris and the running game will be priority one for the Stamps defense, if they can force Nichols into 2nd and long situations, it bodes well for Sunday. It will be interesting to see how many snaps Strelever gets, he's pretty good tucking that ball under his arm and running for big yardage, Singleton will be key spying on him and limiting those gains.

DaVaris Daniels is good-to-go. His broken collarbone is healed, and he’ll be available for the Western Final.
What that means for the Stamps receiving group is anyone’s guess, though.
After basically spending two months trying to piece together enough American receivers to actually field a football team — this is an exaggeration, but not much of one — the Stampeders now have five healthy guys and only three positions.
This will be one of the big storylines of the week, as the CFL’s ratio rules are going to make it difficult to play four Americans. To do that, they’d need to drop a Canadian receiver — either Juwan Brescacin or Lemar Durant — and start a national player somewhere else on the field, and there’s just no obvious way to do that.
One, or maybe two, of Daniels, Eric Rogers, Bakari Grant, Chris Matthews and Markeith Ambles is going to be left off the roster for the West final.

Grant and Ambles will sit out is my guess.

Agreed - Ambles has shown very well, but Daniels brings the deep threat that is needed. Bakari Grant is a poor man's Eric Rogers in my opinion and there is good chemistry between Bo and Eric.
