C'mon Victors! Get hot in the last 3 and hopefully Ontario can fall off a cliff! 

I'd watch out for Boston too, who currently holds the final playoff spot.

Guess I picked the wrong team to support. Can't even beat the Thunder. Damn Tigers.

How many times has Providence lost to Boston in the last several years?

1957 Week 10

Montreal Rouge - 20, Long Island Raiders - 20 - Mount Royal Stadium - August 31, 1957 - 1 PM ET

Montreal ends the Long Island Raiders win streak with their second tie of the season.
The Raiders suffered yet another injury this week with LB Rusty McVee going down in his return to Montreal and leaving the team without 6 of their usual starters.
Montreal took advantage and former Raiders’ QB Stanislav Ovechkin was able to tie it up on a late 4th quarter drive. 
Despite the tie, Long Island clinches their second playoff appearance in franchise history. 

Worcester Athletics - 18, Buffalo Blue Wings - 27 - Worcester Stadium - August 31, 1957 - 4 PM ET

Buffalo wins their 7th straight as the Athletics’ championship hopes take a major blow with QB Riley Kiernan being injured for the remainder of the regular season.
Kiernan was injured on a tackle from new Blue Wings’ DL Craig Newman, and won’t return till the division finals.QB Andrew Glover made his return to the field, against the team that injured him last season, and almost got the Athletics back into the game, but came up short throwing a late pick to DB Lou Lake.

Indiana Victors - 16, Providence Gold Stars - 25 - Victory Stadium - September 1, 1957 - 2 PM ET
1st
0-3 PRO - FG K Theodore Provost

16-23 PRO - TD RB Johnnie Stafford
16-25 PRO - 2PT RB Élisée Marchal 

Providence recovered after their shocking loss to the Independents with a big win in Indiana.
QB Alex Agramonte got into the endzone with the short-yardage unit after bouncing to the outside.
DB Lee Wolfe returned to the lineup with a huge interception to give Providence the chance to extend their lead in the second.
RB Laurent Brazeau also returned with a pair of TDs but it was not enough as they are falling further away from a playoff appearance. *Providence officially clinch their 2nd straight playoff appearance.

Boston Independents - 13, Louisville Thunder - 10 - Richardson Stadium - September 2, 1957 - 2 PM ET
1st
2nd

10-0 BOS - TD WR Ellis Lindholm

Boston wins a tight one at home as they continue to push for the final playoff spot.QB Bart Swayze found the endzone again with Lindholm to give them the 10-0 lead.
Louisville had a late surge after WR Marty Jay got free behind Boston coverage and took a deep shot to the house. 

Ottawa Royals - 31, Ontario Tigers - 23 - Royals Stadium at Brewer Park - September 2, 1957 - 5 PM ET

4th
28-23 ON - TD RB Clifford Russell

The Royals and Tigers had an offensive shootout in their lone meeting this season. Each team’s defence didn’t have much of an effect aside from DL Olaf Viktorsson grabbing a forced fumble and a pair of sacks for the Royals.
Tigers drop yet another game and are hanging on by a thread heading into the final 2 games of the season.
Ottawa clinches a playoff spot with the win.
With the Tigers’ loss, the Athletics clinch a playoff spot

Week 11 Games
LI (6-3-1) @ LOU (2-8) - SEP 7 - 1 PM ET
MTL (2-6-2) @ PRO (7-3) - SEP 7 - 4 PM ET
*PRO clinches East Division with Win + WOR Win over OTT
OTT (6-3-1) @ WOR (6-4) - SEP 7 - 7 PM ET
IND (3-7) @ BUF (8-2) - SEP 8 - 2 PM ET
*BUF clinches West Division with Win or LI Loss
BOS (5-5) @ ON (3-7) - SEP 8 - 5 PM ET

With Kiernan out now I can possible see a late season slide here by the Athletics as he is so important to their offense. A possible seeding switch with Boston if things go south for them.
