The Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have to become road warriors to reach the Grey Cup.
Calgary and Hamilton enter the final week of the CFL's regular season firmly entrenched in third in the West and East Divisions, respectively. That means each will have to win two playoff games on the road to punch their tickets to the Grey Cup game Nov. 19 at Tim Hortons Field.
But Winnipeg proved in 2019 it's possible for a third-place West Division club to go all the way, doing so in 2019. B.C. won the season series 2-1 but Calgary earned a decisive 41-16 road win Friday night. That victory, coupled with Toronto's 29-26 decision over Saskatchewan on Saturday, earned the Stampeders a CFL playoff berth for an 18th straight year.
Since 1945, Calgary's road playoff record is 13-28-2 while B.C. sports an 11-9 post-season home mark. The Als have also won the season series this year entering action Saturday. Both of Montreal's victories came at Tim Hortons Field as Hamilton was 3-6 at home in 2023.
