IMO Ricky will lose MOP to Reilly, McEwan will lose MOOL to Bryant, Wilder will beat Michel for MOR. Trestman vs. Dickenson is a tough call. IMO Trestman accomplished more and deserves to win.

Reilly, Singleton, Harris, Bryant, Wilder Jr., Finch, and Trestman would be my guess as the Winners. As good as Singleton played this season, I don't think Elimimian got enough recognition this season, he broke his own record FWIW.
I think it could be interesting between Reilly and Ray, if Reilly doesn't make it to the West Finals, maybe the award is given to Ray ? I hope not, because I think there's little doubt that Reilly was the best this year.
Playoff results won't affect anything. It's a regular season award.
The CFL Awards are live at:
https://www.cfl.ca/live/2017/11/23/s...player-awards/
The Bombers Stanley Bryant beat out the Argos' Sean McEwen for top offensive lineman.
Roy Finch beat out former Argo Diontae Spencer for ST player of the year.
No surprise Alex Singleton won the Most Outstanding Defensive Player over Kyries Hebert.
Luc Brodeur-Jordan won the Jake Gaudar Veterans Award.
Adarius Bowman won the Tom Pate award for outstanding sportsmanship, and contributions to their community and team.
The Most Outstanding Canadian was the most predictable of all awards: Andrew Harris. And that's no slight to Brad Sinopoli. It's simply a testament to the incredible season for a player who came closest to 1,000/1,000 rushing/receiving season in the history of the CFL and set a record for most receptions by a RB despite playing nearly all of the last two games with QBs who rarely were able to deliver a pass to any player.
In many seasons, Ricky's great season would have won him the Most Outstanding Player award. That just emphasizes how good Reilly was this year.
I would agree with all the winning selections. As many in the live stream mentioned, it's disappointing this wasn't televised on one of TSN's five channels (which all showed the same NFL game).
I too agree with all the winning selections, congrats to them. As for TSN not airing the awards, don't they usually air it on Grey Cup Saturday ?
They air a wrap-up on Saturday but, for many years, this event aired live on national TV. It really still should.Quote:
