112th Grey Cup Playoff Scenarios: Riders look to punch post-season ticket

TORONTO — The Saskatchewan Roughriders could be the first team in 2025 to punch their ticket to the playoffs.

With a win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday night in the final game of Week 15, the Riders will be in the 112th Grey Cup Playoffs.

However, Saskatchewan could still get in before they even suit up this weekend, with three other scenarios possible in the trio of games before their own.
