This is redemption for Calgary. This is a capstone. After bobbling and losing Grey Cup 100 in Toronto to Toronto, and then blowing last year's West Division final at home in Calgary, the 102nd Grey Cup in Vancouver will be Jon Cornish's heroic homecoming, Nik Lewis's swan song, and Bo Levi Mitchell's coming-out party. "The entire last 18 months has been the build-up to this," said Cornish Wednesday.

With the dramatic East-West disparity that began this CFL season, picking an East team as champion seems laughable. But there is something to be said for a team that started the year 1-6 and then not only scraped into the playoffs, but won its final regular-season game by a big enough margin to steal the division. True, Calgary beat Hamilton twice this season – but that was before the turnaround and Zach Collaros, who seized opportunities as an Argonaut and in college. There's something about him. If Hamilton is to win, special teams and defence will rule. Losing in Regina last year still stings.

MVP: Zach Collaros, Hamilton quarterback.

Can the Tiger-Cats actually beat Calgary? My head tells me "No." My heart also says "No." All the rest of my vital organs agree – which is rare. But since I am Canadian, I am bound by constitutional media law to pull for the 'dog.

Allan Maki:

Stampeders 33, Tiger-Cats 19

MVP: Bo Levi Mitchell, Calgary quarterback.

The marquee match-up will be Calgary's offence against Hamilton's defence. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell played like a veteran in his first playoff start as a professional. He followed offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson's gameplan to the letter in the West Final and threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns. Statistically, the Ticats' defence was the toughest to run against in the regular season but, in the two losses to Calgary, it never had to face Jon Cornish, who was injured then. The only way Calgary loses this game is if it gives the ball away too many times.

MVP: Bo Levi Mitchell, Calgary quarterback.

An excellent game manager, with weapons aplenty, Mitchell will get the ball in the hands of many of the Stampeders' talented offensive players, not just Jon Cornish, piling up the yardage and the points against the overmatched Tiger Cats.
