Bo Levi Mitchell and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats can again clinch first in the East Division.
Hamilton (10-7) hosts the Ottawa Redblacks (4-13) on Friday night. The Ticats would secure home field for the East Division final Nov. 8 with a victory.
The Ticats could’ve done that Oct. 11 at home versus Calgary, but dropped a 37-20 home decision to the Stampeders before heading on their final bye week of the season.
That result was kind of predictable, though, as Hamilton is just 1-13 going into a bye week since 2021. But the Ticats are 10-2 over the same span coming off a bye week.
Hamilton has also won its two previous meetings and seven straight overall at Hamilton Stadium versus Ottawa, which has lost five consecutive games.
A Hamilton loss or Ticats-Redblacks tie would give Montreal (10-7) a shot at finishing first with a tie or win Saturday night in Winnipeg versus the Blue Bombers (9-8).
The West Division playoff picture, by comparison, remains quite muddled.
Saskatchewan (12-5) has clinched first, but B.C. (10-7) and Calgary (10-7) are tied for second, with Winnipeg just two points behind in fourth. The Stampeders visit Edmonton (7-10) on Friday night before the Lions face the Riders in Regina and the Bombers host Montreal on Saturday.
