CFL Regular Season Week 18

The CFL heads into the final two weeks of the regular season, battles for first place in both divisions still a raging.

In the East the Bombers and Als will be hoping to use these final two weeks to put their stamp on the top spot, a loss perhaps fatal to the final results for 2011.

Winnipeg it would seem should have the easier path this week with a home date against the Argonauts, though as Toronto has shown these last two weeks they aren't going to just play out the string, if the chance to play spoiler comes up they intend to make a run at it.

For Montreal a home date against the Calgary Stampeders offers up a fair amount of drama, beyond the Als wish to keep their eyes on the eastern prize, the Stamps are still inclined to find a home playoff date at McMahon on the calendar.  With both BC and Edmonton ahead of them in the West a loss on the road could prove fatal to their quest for that playoff date.

Two teams playing for first in the West will meet head on in Vancouver this weekend, as the Eskimos arrive on the coast to take on the Lions. Edmonton currently has a two point lead on the Leos, a win could guarantee them the top placement in the West, a loss takes the run for the Western division title right into the final week of the season.

Two teams with little to play for this week will meet in Regina on Saturday, Hamilton which will see playoff action this year but can't move beyond their third place finish in the east will shake out some cobwebs in a what amounts to a scrimmage against the Riders. Saskatchewan, eliminated from the playoffs a few weeks ago will be running an evaluation session on the weekend, checking the pulse of their players to see who may no longer have the desire to wear the Green and White in 2012.
