MONTREAL – When you really stop to think about it, how else could the 2011 CFL season have ended? With 17 games in the books and only one more to go, very little is settled in what has been one of the tightest campaigns in recent memory.
Indicative of a season that has seen no team on either side of the league’s divisional divide rise above the rest to take a stranglehold on the crown as the CFL’s top dog, parity has been the norm from June to November.
What better way to cap such an unpredictable season than with the 72nd and final game on the slate between the Alouettes and Lions potentially determining the divisional champs in both the East and the West.
Sure, the Als could’ve sewn up the Eastern Division title by now, but they’ve instead followed the league’s unofficial script by keeping their division race as tight as possible.
If the playoffs prove to be an extension of the see-saw action the regular season served up, CFL fans are in for quite a ride this postseason.
Wondering when the Als will officially begin their quest for a third straight Grey Cup? You’ll likely have to tune in and watch the Alouettes take on the Lions in order to see the final pieces of the playoff puzzle fall into place. Once they do, that’s when the fun really starts.
Here’s a look at just how huge the final weekend of the season is shaping up to be:
