CFL: The CFL Thread: Part VI

[Hank Chinaski]

It was windy the entire game, but for a sudden gale force win to come in right when the Als punted?

To borrow the perfect quote from someone on the Jets board, it was like something scripted in a bad Hallmark movie about football.

I live about 15 KM away from the stadium to the south and the storm came through about 4 minutes after it went through McGill Stadium. It was intense for 1 minute and then it was back to normalcy. Just bizarre.

Chad Kelly and the Argos as a whole have a chance at redemption next week.

No real upsets, these have been the best 4 teams for most of the 2nd half of the season. Ottawa really faded badly after a great start. I like Bob Dyce as a coach, but not as a HC.

CFL does this thing where they do "simulations" and post it for how likely teams are to make the playoffs down the stretch, clinch division, clinch home field, then odds to win Grey Cup, make Grey Cup, etc, etc. As it narrows down so do the options. Well CFL just released they "simulation" odds for this week. It can be found here. But there's one odd thing I'd like to highlight as to how useless they are.

ODDS TO APPEAR IN 111TH GREY CUPTeamProjection
Winnipeg79.23%
Montreal60.74%
Toronto39.26%
Saskatchewan13.13%

That's a ridiculous amount of favoritism for the Bombers in that game, and I'm saying that as a Bombers fan. However that's not even what I'm talking about.

Winnipeg 79.23%
Saskatchewan 13.13%

79.23+13.13 = 92.36%

So I guess in the CFL simulations 7.64% of the time an asteroid hit the stadium and both teams were wiped out?
