Toronto Argonauts (9-9) @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats (9-9) (Sunday, November 14)
The Greatest Rivalry In Sports™ resumes its playoff story. There's no question that Toronto has exceeded expectations this year, and that Hamilton has underperformed. Despite that, the Tiger-Cats have been at their best this year against the Argos, and the Argos have been at their worst when playing their rivals. Hamiton will be the unquestioned favourites going in, but it's been so long since they've performed in the playoffs—will they succumb to the pressure?

B.C. Lions (8-10) @ Saskatchewan (10-8) (Sunday, November 14)
A true tale of two teams. Saskatchewan opened the season strong, but limped into the playoffs, losing four of their last five games. B.C. stumbled out of the game to the tune of a 1-7 record, but picked up the pieces and finished strong to clinch a playoff berth in the final week of the season. Saskatchewan retains the core of last year's division championship team, while B.C. has had to work around some notable personnel departures. It comes down to the eternal question: pedigree or momentum?

Also it looks like the game is live on TSN.ca. Not sure if it's region-restricted though.

Also ten degrees, foggy, and rainy. It's football weather!

Crazy. Argos win the turnover battle and hang on for the 16-13 win.
