Initially I was hesitant to consider Saskatchewan as a play against the visiting BC Lions this weekend, even if it is the rematch from a week ago out in Vancouver, simply because I think the Lions are playing better football that the western Riders are at this stage. Furthermore the addition of Charles Roberts in the Lion's backfield to compliment Stefan Logan gives BC a dimension that no other CFL team has and that's two explosive style runnings backs in the backfield.
However with the sad news of the passing of former Saskatchewan great Ron Lancaster this week, there is no possible way the hometown Riders let this one slip away, absolutely no chance in hell for that matter. I'm quite certain the coaches will have stressed this point time and time again both today and right up until kickoff. Add to that a noisy soldout Mosaic Stadium for this game and this has to be the lock of the entire CFL season--postseason included.
