The match up is.... a fine Canadian Football tradition Ottawa RedBlacks vs Edmonton Eskimos Pick the winner n the score
I have to go with the Eskimos, on an 8 game winning streak and they were able to beat the stamps this year, which they could not do last year. Plus it's been too long since they won the Cup....... 31-24 Eskimos.
Obviously the American game is going to have a higher degree of athleticism cause America is a bigger country that overplays its players more. However the Canadian game has better rules that make it a more lively affair. They only have 3 downs so they throw a lot more. Running the ball is boring. But hey, this is an opinion of a Japanese guy who hasn't played a lick of either sport.
In the CFL a QB has to be an athlete. More field space makes it harder for defence. 300# players r not useful. No such thing as dead ball plays. Eg fair catch Onside is onside every play Their is a US import rule so Canadians get roster spots. Many differences n nuances.
I noticed op used Canadian footballs with the white stripes on them. I'm shocked they had CFL football emojis.
I played high school football under CFL rules and it makes for a much more fast-paced, aggressive game- because every down is more valuable. My money is on Eskies taking it 20-14
Was at the game in Ottawa last weekend... Still trying to sober up. Id love for Ottawa to win but think Edmonton takes it fairly easily.
