As a rider faithful myself, my pick for the match up may be a little biased
However I have a few things that really make SK attractive.
Burris has never done well here, since he was traded years ago. Sure they have come in a and won in years past, but this year he has felt the pressure of our D. John Chick and Stevie Baggs have put some fear in Henry.
I was at the last game of the regular season. I don't think I have heard it that loud in Mosaic stadium. Everytime Burris would go on the feild their would be loud chanting of "Heeeeeennnnry" and tons of noise. I can only expect the Western Final will be even louder giving the home team an advantage.
It was exactly 33 years since the Riders won 1st in the West and had the opportunity to host the Western Final. It was exactly 20 years ago they won their 2nd grey cup.
Darian Durant has made significant improvements this season, he has come out better almost every game, except for the loss in hamilton a few weeks back that made everyone on the Riders look bad.
CGY can never be counted out of any game, and can burn you on your picks very quickly. Burris can make miracle comebacks and is a great QB.
However - I don't think Henry and the Stamps really want to come back to Mosaic stadium this time around. A very hungry Saskatchewan Team should get it done for the Home crowd and cover the -3 spread.
This will be a classic!
BOL to all!

Burris has the edge on Durant at least with his playoff experience Calgary is nothing special on the road this year, +3 is no value on calgary but one thing i am scared is the riders look like an easy winner like two weeks ago, but this is playoff , Durant have zero experience in this territory. i got a funny feeling we will have a repeat of last year's final this time in calgary, and montreal will win it all. but i will root for saska. hope they win no bet for me here.

that is true, I actually never even took much consideration into Durant's playoff experience. (Although if Kerry Joseph can get it done...
He has looked quite confident and composed in some key situations this season, but he will have to play at his best to beat burris.
One lean I have going in, is everytime I see CGY players getting interviewed about going back to saskatchewan, they do not seem happy at all. Almost depressed about having to go back their. I don't seem locker morale being very good going into this game. On the other hand the Saskatchewan lockerroom are Celebrating a 33 year drought of 1st in the west.
It should be a great game, I'll give Durant the Benefit of the doubt, and the Rider D to get into the head of burris once again.......hopefully
