The Hamilton Tiger-Cats can clinch the East Division title with a victory on Saturday afternoon against the visiting Calgary Stampeders.
The Tiger-Cats (10-6) also would win the division -- and the right to host the East Final on Nov. 8 -- if Montreal loses to Ottawa on Thanksgiving Monday.
The Stampeders (8-7) have their own playoff-clinching scenario in the West. They can lock up a berth with a win at Hamilton coupled with a loss by the Edmonton Elks on Saturday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
In other words, there is a lot on the line for both sides on Saturday at Hamilton Stadium in a rematch of their June 7 season opener.
The Stampeders kicked off the season with a 38-26 home win, leading 35-11 in the fourth quarter before the Tiger-Cats made the score respectable.
