The upcoming East Division final on Saturday will feature a showdown between quarterbacks Bo Levi Mitchell and Davis Alexander. However, running backs Stevie Scott III and Greg Bell are set to play crucial roles in the game.
Scott impressed with 133 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Montreal’s victory over Winnipeg in the Eastern semifinal. He was instrumental in the Alouettes’ strong rushing performance against a tough Blue Bombers defense.
The game will take place at Hamilton Stadium, with the winner advancing to the Grey Cup in Winnipeg on November 16. Bell, who amassed 1,038 rushing yards this season, had a standout performance against Montreal earlier in the year, running for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown.
Mitchell led the CFL in passing yards and touchdowns this season and was a key player in Hamilton’s first-place finish. On the other hand, Alexander has had a remarkable start to his CFL career, remaining undefeated in his 12 starts.
Hamilton had a 2-0 season series win against Montreal, with a strong performance in the East Division. The team’s offense, featuring three 1,000-yard receivers, found its rhythm after Bell’s impressive game against Montreal.
Montreal boasts a solid defense that led the CFL in various defensive categories. The team’s defense could see the return of some key players for the upcoming game. Hamilton’s defense, on the other hand, had some weaknesses but excelled in creating turnovers.
In the West Division final, the B.C. Lions will face the Saskatchewan Roughriders. B.C. has been on a winning streak, while Saskatchewan has a strong defense and an efficient offense led by veteran quarterback Trevor Harris.
Overall, experience and strategic plays will be crucial in the playoffs, and Hamilton is predicted to have the edge in the upcoming game. In the West Division final, Saskatchewan is favored to win.
Last week’s predictions were on point with a 2-0 record, bringing the overall score to 55-28.
