WEST DIVISION Winnipeg at B.C.
Sunday, 2:30 p.m. BC Place
STORYLINES
Can the Bombers take the ball away? The Bombers lived and died by the turnover this season, producing a league-best plus-29 ratio. They were 11-1 when they won the turnover battle and 0-6 when they didn’t.
Is Jennings ready to win? Young Lions quarterback Jonathon Jennings got smoked in last year’s West semifinal and occasionally makes the deadly decision. He needs to take whatever the Bombers give him.
Who will make the game winning field goal? The Lions dusted off 46-year-old kicker Paul McCallum to handle the field goal duties, while the Bombers have Justin Medlock, who set the CFL single season record with 60 field goals.
