Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ottawa Redblacks Sunday, 1 p.m.

The Redblacks swept the season series 3-0. That included winning back-to-back games last month to clinch top spot in the East Division. Quarterback Trevor Harris completed 70of-97 passes (72.2 per cent) for 836 yards with four TDs and no interceptions over that span. In his last six starts, Harris has amassed 1,895 passing yards with 11 TDs and two interceptions.

Harris has no shortage of capable receivers. Brad Sinopoli (116 catches, 1,376 yards, four TDs) anchors a receiving corps that also includes Greg Ellingson (91 catches, 1,086 yards, five TDs) and Diontae Spencer (81 catches, 1,007 yards, seven TDs).

Sinopoli’s receptions total was a CFL singleseason record for a Canuck, and he’s a finalist for the league’s top Canadian honour for a second straight year. In the 2015 East final, it was Ellingson’s late 93-yard TD grab that earned Ottawa a thrilling 35-28 home win over Hamilton.

However, Ottawa isn’t a pass-only offence as running back William Powell was the CFL’s second-leading rusher with 1,362 yards and six TDs. The five-foot-nine, 207-pound Powell averaged a solid 5.43 yards per carry and added 39 catches for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

Hamilton heads to TD Place off a convincing 48-8 East Division semifinal win over B.C. Jeremiah Masoli, the East Division nominee for the CFL’s top player award, threw for 259 yards and three TDs while averaging a season-best 13.6 yards per attempt. Masoli was the CFL’s second-leading passer with 5,209 yards this season, his first full campaign as a starter. He completed 74of-120 passes (58.3 per cent) for 937 yards with four TDs and four interceptions versus Ottawa. Luke Tasker had two of Masoli’s three TD strikes against B.C. but it was youngster Bralon Addison who impressed, registering five catches for 124 yards. Hamilton’s receiving corps has lost Shamawd Chambers, Chris Williams, Jalen Saunders and Terence Tolliver to injury this season.

Ottawa rookie Lewis Ward will appear in his first CFL playoff game. The Redblacks kicker has converted a pro football record 48 straight field goals and 51 of 52 this season (league mark 98.1 per cent), including 16 from beyond 40 yards.

Hamilton veteran Lirim Hajrullahu made 45-of-54 attempts (85.2 per cent) and is seven-of-seven from 50-plus yards. Ottawa has a 33-14 (.702) home playoff record and East Division final host is 31-13 (.705) since 1973. The Ticats have a 15-29 (.344) road playoff record. Prediction: Ottawa
