Bombers Stuck in West Logjam at 7-6 With Season-Series Math Working Against Them
Winnipeg enters the stretch run at 7-6, level on points with the B.C. Lions and two back of Saskatchewan (8-5), with five games remaining and Edmonton (10-3) already clear at the top. The Bombers' problem is that the tiebreaker math is tilting away from them. B.C. took the first meeting by 16 points
