Winnipeg is easily the best bet to be this year’s crossover team. The Bombers have never crossed over before.

If they don’t end up crossing over, it will likely be Calgary. The Stamps are the only other West Div team that’s never crossed over before.

Tonight's game was a complete dud until the fourth quarter, then the last three minutes were great.

Hopefully, the new clock system next season will ensure the final three minutes of games remain excellent -- and perhaps ever better than they are now.

I have to fill out my power rankings ballot shortly.

It honestly feels like there should be a seven-way tie for first place, then Toronto and Ottawa bringing up the rear.

For anyone wondering, CFL statistician Jeff Krever informed me that multiple teams have finished games without a completion.

The Blue Bombers won a game in 1960 with zero completions, which is the last time it happened.
