For the first time since the 2007 Grey Cup, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will face the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL playoffs next weekend.

The Bombers, who finished the season with a 10-8 record after their 33-24 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos Saturday, found out their playoff opponent later that night when the Calgary Stampeders beat the B.C. Lions 26-9 to clinch first place in the West Division.

The Stamps ended up with a 13-5 record, while the Riders were 12-6. The Lions wound up at 9-9 and will cross over to the East Division to visit the 8-10 Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The Bombers and Roughriders will play the West semifinal on Remembrance Day in Regina, at 3:30 p.m.

The two teams met three times this season, with the Riders winning two of the games.

Saskatchewan won 31-23 in the annual Labour Day Classic at Mosaic Stadium, then took advantage of a bundle of Bombers turnovers to win 32-27 in the Banjo Bowl a week later at Investors Group Field.
