Key Storylines
Recent form
Saskatchewan enters at 7–1 and has one of the league’s top defences. They won three straight games prior to their Week 10 bye and will look to pick up where they left off with a win at home in this huge matchup. Hamilton is 6–3 and has one of the most explosive offences in the CFL. The Ti-Cats lost a 41-38 shootout to the BC Lions last week and will look to bounce back here behind their explosive offense.
Quarterback play
Hamilton’s Bo Levi Mitchell leads the CFL in passing yards. He has 21 touchdown passes to just three interceptions this year and is the current frontrunner to be named the league’s Most Outstanding Player. Saskatchewan’s Trevor Harris has completed just over 75% of his passes this season and his efficiency will be key if the Riders are going to keep up with the Ti-Cats on offense.

Final Thoughts
This is easily the best game of the week in the CFL in Week 11. I can’t wait to see whether the Ti-Cats’ offense or the Riders’ defense wins out. For me, I think we will see Saskatchewan win and cover the spread behind the strength of that defense. But this game will give us a ton of insight into who the favourite should be to win the Grey Cup later in the year.
