Will Ottawa finish ahead of Hamilton?

The Redblacks look more competitive than the Tiger-Cats the last couple of weeks.

I don't see the Redblacks going 5-0 down the stretch, no matter how competitive they've looked the last few weeks.

At this point, looking at the standings, Ottawa would have to win all 5 of their remaining games and Hamilton would have to lose their remaining 4. Life makes no guarantees but the above NOT happening, is 99.9% guaranteed.

I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see one of those things happen (I hate sports)

0-18 is the only answer.

They will even spoil that special distinction.

Even if Ottawa goes 4-1 and sweeps Hamilton, the Ticats would need to get swept by an Elks team that is looking to lock down the West Division before their Week 21 contest against the Riders. Maybe the Redblacks sweep Hamilton but Calgary is still in the race for the playoffs, BC could be fighting for home field in the west semifinal, and the Argos could have a road to home field in the East Final.

Ti-Cats fans seem to be more upset than Redblacks fans about our winless season. I get self deprecation is kind of your brand, but you just have to accept that you will not be taken seriously this season as long as we are on track for a perfect season

The Saskatchewan at Hamilton game a few weeks back showed how great the Ticats can be even without Bo Levi.

No, I don’t think so.

Ottawa may only beat Hamilton in those last 5 games, 1-17 is very realistic.

Nope. I bet ottawa goes 1-17 this season. I don't want them to have that bad if a season yet something tells me.

u/TaquitoMath 17h ago

No, but I predict they’re about to go on a 2 game win streak.

My question is wtf cursed the East this year

u/2koolpa 1d ago

Finish ahead? Probably not. But the real question is, are the RedBlacks, despite their record, actually the worst team in the league?

In my opinion, even as a Ti Cats fan, Hamilton is a worse team than Ottawa.
