TORONTO \u2014 The Hamilton Tiger-Cats could be the second team this year to punch its ticket to the post-season.<\/p>\n
The Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched a playoff spot last week, and now there\u2019s a scenario in which Hamilton could do the same in Week 16.<\/p>\n
If the Argos lose to the Als, the Lions lose to the Stamps, and the Ticats beat the Elks, Hamilton will clinch a playoff berth.<\/p>\n
Saskatchewan has a chance to turn their playoff spot into one at home as well. With BC, Winnipeg and Edmonton losses, the Riders will host a playoff game at Mosaic Stadium.<\/p>\n
The following scenarios are in play this week.<\/p>\n
EAST DIVISION<\/p>\n
TOR LOSS and BC LOSS and HAM WIN = HAM clinches playoff berth<\/p>\n
WEST DIVISION<\/p>\n
BC LOSS and WPG LOSS and EDM LOSS = SSK clinches home playoff date<\/p>\n
PLAYOFF PICTURE<\/p>\n
CROSSOVER RULE<\/p>\n
If the fourth-place team in Division A \u2013 A4 \u2013 has more points than the third-place team in Division B \u2013 B3 (they cannot be tied), A4 will cross over and take the place of B3 in terms of playoff seeding. A4 will then compete against B2 in the Division B Semi-Final.<\/p>\n
