Other the Argos and the Als, who are all but out of it, there are tight races in the East and West for the playoffs. Who will make it?

Just four points separate second from fifth in the conference standings heading into the final third of the regular season. The Calgary Stampeders (10-2) are first, four points ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-5). The Edmonton Eskimos (7-6) are third, just two points ahead of both the B.C. Lions (6-6) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-7).
Edmonton and Winnipeg face each other twice down the stretch, including Saturday night at Commonwealth Stadium. They’ll square off again Nov. 3 in Alberta. The Bombers will also meet Calgary and Saskatchewan as well as Ottawa. The Lions, with a game in hand on Winnipeg, will play West Division rivals four times — Calgary twice, Edmonton and Saskatchewan — in addition to the Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts. Edmonton’s other contests are versus Saskatchewan, B.C. and Ottawa. The Riders visit the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday before finishing their regular season with four division games.
There’s also a race for first in the East Division. Ottawa (8-5) holds down top spot with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-7) four points behind. Toronto (3-9) and Montreal (3-10) are tied for third and both need a miracle to make the playoffs as they’re three wins behind both B.C. and Winnipeg in the crossover scenario. Hamilton hosts B.C. on Saturday after losing 35-32 in Vancouver last weekend. Then the Ticats finish their regular season against Eastern rivals — including a crucial home-and-home with Ottawa Oct. 19 and Oct. 27.
