to 2-1 tomorrow, depending on the results of the game against Hamilton tomorrow.

No matter what the outcome is against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the BC Lions will stay in last place in their division.

In their last meeting, the Blue Bombers lost to the BC Lions in Winnipeg.

Now, for my big question...why hasn't Milt Stegall been playing? It's a good question, and no one is really sure. However, Stegall is not injured, the Bombers are 0-2, and once again, Stegall is not scheduled as the starting Slotback for tonights game.

Now, I am not saying that without Stegall, the Blue Bombers are nothing, because Milt Stegall was supposedly 100% sure that he was retiring last year, so 0-2 is where they would've been anyways. However, with a  match-up of Stegall, Edwards, Franklin and Armstrong, I have a feeling that the Bombers offence would be unstoppable.

One more question, in reference to my article here. While researching information for the article, it seemed to me that the Bombers medical and training staff thought this would be a quick injury. However, with the third week coming up, Alexis Serna is on the depth chart as both punter and kicker. Bombers fans will hope that Serna is able to handle punting duties after a blocked punt in week one and a sack in week two. For more on Serna's situation see here

Who will win this game?

It depends on whether the Blue Bombers can show some enthusiasm in Friday night’s game, which was non-existent in their last loss against the Alouettes. For more on this, check out Matt Eichel's article here.

Watch the game at 7:30 PM (ET) on Wendy's Friday Night Football, only on TSN, Canada's Sports Leader.
