BC Lions Form
BC enter the West Division Final in mixed form, having gone 2-2 in their last four games.
The Lions raced out of the blocks with three consecutive wins, including a shock 30-6 victory in Winnipeg.
They cooled off over the next couple of months though and blew their chances of home field advantage when they lost 34-26 in overtime to Winnipeg on October 6.
BC bounced back a week later to win 33-30 in Hamilton, only to get blown out 41-16 when they hosted Calgary in their regular season finale.
The Lions got revenge in the West Semi-Final though, beating the Stampeders 41-30 last weekend.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg are riding a four-game win streak that saw them clinch the West Division and receive a playoff bye.
The Blue Bombers won nine of their first 11 games as a postseason berth never looked to be in doubt.
They did drop a couple of games in September, losing 32-30 in overtime in Saskatchewan and 29-23 at Hamilton, but their response was strong.
Winnipeg bounced back from the loss to Hamilton by beating Toronto 31-21 in a rematch from last season’s Grey Cup.
The Blue Bombers then beat BC 34-26 in overtime, Edmonton 45-25 and Calgary 36-13 to finish 14-4 and win the division.
