Key Storylines
- Saskatchewan’s division clinching opportunity: With a win, the Riders will secure the West crown and enter the postseason with home-field advantage.
- Quarterback limbo for Toronto: Nick Arbuckle is out for the season, forcing the Argos to rely on backups to their backup. Jarret Doege is expected to start for the Argos in this contest.
- Defensive contrast: The Riders have one of the strongest run defenses in the CFL, while Toronto’s defense has been among the most generous in points and yardage allowed. The Riders should take advantage of Doege playing in this game and the Argos’ defense might not be able to keep them in this game.
- Motivation differential: Saskatchewan has tangible stakes and momentum going into this contest. Toronto is playing out the string and may not get up for this game in the same way.
Quarterback Play
Trevor Harris has been steady this season for the Riders, delivering consistent numbers. In their last game, he completed 27 of 33 passes for 341 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions. His command of the offense and ability to spread the ball to different receivers make him one of the best quarterbacks in the CFL right now.
Toronto turns to Jarret Doege, who is largely unproven at this level. He has arm strength, but his decision-making under pressure is a concern going into a game against the Saskatchewan defense. It’s unlikely Toronto can lean on the run game much, so Doege will have to sling it and he will be vulnerable to turnovers against a defense like Saskatchewan’s.

Final Thoughts
We should see the Saskatchewan Roughriders lock up the West Division title with a win at home here. The quarterback situation for the Argos has gone from bad to worse and I don’t think that they will be able to recover from that. I’ll lay the points with the Riders in this game, as they shoudl make life miserable for Doege and claim this contest by double-digits.
