I think the Riders match up pretty well overall, and i'm hoping Calvillo chokes up again like he's done before in the Grey Cup. Realistically, I wouldn't bet the farm on a Rider win, but I think they'll give Montreal all they can handle.
The Western final is a game I'll never forget. I've never heard it so loud at the Taylor Field. What a great day to be a Rider fan!
I wish I could head west this weekend...but I'll settle for throwing a party at my house Sunday. Can't wait...
Well, I guess we're kinda sorta rivals this week - but, whatever the outcome I'm going to enjoy this. The Riders have always been my "Western team", so at very least I can somewhat stomach it if THEY are the ones to beat the Als (vs Calgary, Edmonton, or BC).
Having said that, as much as I respect the Riders, and somewhat fear how well they're playing lately, I just can't see the Als losing. Coach Trestman has them level-headed and focused, the Defense has been stellar all year, and AC finally has the offence scoring touchdowns and not just field goals. If they get rolling early, like they did against BC, they should be golden. If the Riders can keep it close, maybe force some turnovers, then all bets are off.
I'm calling either an Als blowout or a close Rider victory. There's no middle ground here.
