Guess the final Grey Cup score thread

[geroy_simon_081]

I'm sorry but this game won't be as close as people are predicting. Just because it's a championship game doesn't mean we need to throw out hyperboles. BC is a far better team. If they play like they've played the last 3 games, they will win this going away...

Anyways:

BC - 33
Winnipeg - 17

31-16 Lions.....

BC LIONS

[KnowItAll]

24-23

[Lionheart]

Bomers. Will score 1 more point than the Lions.

I know that you know that's not really your prediction.. but you can hope and pray I guess. :-)

Lets keep the commentary and analyses in other thread going but use this one solely for predicting the final score. This way we get to see how we did without having to go thru all the thread clutter.

If you want to comment on the game itself, again, throw it in here: http://lionbackers.com/bc_lions/viewtop ... 6&start=15

My prediction?

Lions 31 - Bombers 16

The Bombers seldom give up more than 200 yards passing to any QB including AC. If they can make him look mortal, then I have no doubt they can give Lulay fits. The Bombers led most defensive categories and have the best secondary in the CFL. 1/3 of the sacks given up by the Lions in 2011 were to the Bombers.

If the Bombers lose it will be because of their inconsistent offense ( more than the Lions defense per se ) and the home field advantage at BC Place. Bomber offense struggled this year even against poor defensive teams ( Argos & Riders ).

Do I believe the Lions are the better team? No I don't.

Do I believe the Lions have a better chance at winning in Vancouver. Yes I do.

However, I was just reading the post strings from August where Lions fans wanted Lulay benched. He's gone a long way from that to MOP in a short time.

Hamilton scored 42 points on the Lions at the end of October. They only scored 3 on the Bombers in the EDF.

How does that equate to the Lions with the better defense?

Defense will always win the day especially in the championship games, but I think both offenses on Sunday will want to be recognized as well, so my prediction...

Leos - 35 / Bombers - 26
