Newswire From a news agency Ongoing story
  • The Montreal Alouettes, who own the CFL’s best record at 9-2, will host the 6-5 B.C. Lions on Friday night.
  • Montreal can secure a playoff berth and home playoff game with a victory.
  • A Montreal loss could still produce the same result if the Toronto Argonauts defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday.

The Montreal Alouettes could secure a Canadian Football League playoff berth before Labour Day weekend is over. The team, which leads the CFL with a 9-2 record, will host the B.C. Lions on Friday night.

A victory would guarantee Montreal a postseason place and the right to host a playoff game. The Alouettes enter the matchup against a Lions team with a 6-5 record.

Montreal would not necessarily need to win Friday. If the Alouettes lose, they could still clinch a playoff berth and home playoff game if the Toronto Argonauts beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday afternoon at Hamilton Stadium.
