CFL Regular Season: Week 19

Nineteen weeks since the Canada Day kickoff, the CFL's regular season comes to an end this weekend.

As kick off nears, only the Eskimos, Riders and Tiger Cats really have much to play for, in the case of the Cats it's a chance to snare a playoff spot when many had given them up for done a few weeks ago.

To that goal they face their favourite rival the Toronto Argonauts, a victory and a bit of help from the West and the Cats will face the Argos again next weekend in the semi-final, a loss and the Cats will be done for the year, with a few questions awaiting their post season review.

Friday Night brings us the Stamps and Eskimos, with the Stamps in the position of making the Tiger Cats very happy and the Eskimos very miserable. A Calgary victory will end Edmonton's post season ambitions, an Eskimos victory moves them through to the playoffs, a most unlikely thought in September when they did their free fall through the standings.

Most eyes will be on Jon Cornish on Friday night,  should Cornish run for more than 50 yards he will become the league's top rushing Canadian in a single season, eclipsing long time Eskimo and Stampeder great Norm Kwong.

Montreal plays out the string in Winnipeg, offering the Bombers a chance to bid farewell to Canad Inn Stadium and ponder football with a lineup that resembles a rather nasty episode of M*A*S*H

The Riders and Lions bring the 2012 regular season to an end, the Lions perhaps looking to get back on a winning groove before the Western Final in two weeks. The Riders can secure their spot in the Western Semi Final with a victory on Saturday, if Edmonton has won on Friday, then Saskatchewan will be off to the east for a semi final showdown with Toronto.
