Four teams remain in the hunt for the Grey Cup, setting the stage for a Sunday of football that will determine who moves on and who packs up in this 2011 season.
In the east, the surprise of the playoffs thus far will be the arrival of the Hamilton Tiger Cats at Canad Inn Stadium, the farewell game at the old stadium will feature the battered and bruised Blue Bombers hosting the team the dethroned the Grey Cup champion Alouettes.
Hamilton which has been hot and cold all year, is hoping that they're on full boil as they try to knock those Grey Cup dreams from Swaggerville.
In Vancouver, the Lions will be home to what they hope will be a large and boisterous crowd, ready to celebrate the remarkable surge of the final half of the season, on the other side of the ball will be the Eskimos, a team that was supposed to be in a rebuilding year, but instead looked for a good portion of the regular season as a polished squad ready to reclaim Edmonton's traditional role as champions in the CFL.
The Eskimos always play the Lions tough, coming in after last weeks semi final victory over the Stamps the Eskies have the benefit of a full contact showcase last weekend to build on, the Lions on the other hand have had the opportunity to rest, sometimes a good thing, sometimes not.
We'll find out which of the four teams is best prepared and which two of the four will still have some football to play by the end of Sunday afternoon.
