|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg –1.5 | SSK +102 / WPG -122 | 51.5 |
Key Storylines
- Revenge factor: Winnipeg gets a rematch after a loss in Regina last week. The Bombers will look to reclaim ground in the division as they enter this week three games back of the Riders.
- Banjo Bowl history: Winnipeg has won the last five games in this rivalry on their home turf.
- Injury attrition: The Blue Bombers are missing key receivers Dalton Schoen and Jerreth Sterns. The Riders have several defensive players out. It will be interesting to see which of those situations matters less.
Quarterback Play
Zach Collaros completed 70.3% of his passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s loss. He proved he can dissect the Riders’ defense and will look to do so again at home this weekend. Trevor Harris was efficient for Saskatchewan last week with 219 yards and a touchdown. Collaros will be expected to have a bigger game between the two quarterbacks here.

Final Thoughts
The Roughriders have been the best team in the CFL this year and it hasn’t been particularly close. With that said, I think that the Riders are going to struggle on the road this weekend against a Blue Bombers team that is desperate to move up in the West Division. Winnipeg’s offense should continue to find success with its passing game and their defense should play just well enough to help them get a much-needed Banjo Bowl victory.
