Toronto Argonauts Form
Toronto head to Winnipeg on their best run of the season so far, having won three straight games to improve to 8-6 and secure a playoff place.
The Argonauts made a rough start to the season as they were displaced by the World Cup and spent the first several weeks playing on the road.
That resulted in a 3-4 start, but they have turned things around since then, winning six of their last eight games.
Toronto’s last defeat came back on August 29 when they fell 28-24 in Saskatchewan, and they responded to that loss by embarking on a three-game surge.
The Argonauts beat Hamilton 37-22 on the road, before returning home to down Ottawa 26-23 and Edmonton 24-19.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg enter this game still trying to lock down a playoff place, having won just three of their last seven games to sit 7-6.
The Blue Bombers made a solid start to the season as they won four of their first six games, only for the wheels to come off briefly in late July as they lost back-to-back games.
They snapped that skid with a 33-21 win over Ottawa, only to then lose 22-19 in Edmonton the following week.
Winnipeg answered that defeat with a 44-28 victory over Montreal at home, but they again failed to follow up a win as they lost 32-26 in overtime in Saskatchewan.
The Blue Bombers did bounce back last week though, as they avenged that loss to the Roughriders with a 19-6 victory at home.
