Saskatchewan Roughriders Form
Saskatchewan enter their penultimate game of the regular season having already secured top spot in the West and a playoff bye.
The Roughriders were the form team in the CFL for the first few months of the season, as they won 10 of their first 12 games to clinch a postseason berth.
That sequence included a couple of four-game win streaks, as well as back-to-back wins over their opponents on Saturday, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Saskatchewan cooled off in the second half of September as they lost 48-31 to Montreal and 27-25 in Edmonton.
The Roughriders rebounded in the first half of this month though, as they backed up a 20-13 victory in Ottawa with a 27-19 win at home to Toronto.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg go into this game in desperate need of a win if they want to return to the playoffs this season.
The Blue Bombers have been a postseason fixture in recent years, making multiple appearances in the Grey Cup, but they are in danger of missing out this time around.
They are currently one game behind third-placed Calgary in the West, and having lost both meetings with the Stampeders they must win their final two games and hope for a favour.
Winnipeg boosted their playoff chances in late September as they followed up a 26-18 win in Ottawa with a 40-3 demolition of Hamilton.
However, the Blue Bombers failed to make it three-in-a-row last weekend, as they lost 25-20 in Edmonton last time out.
Verdict
Winnipeg’s form is not the best, but unlike Saskatchewan they have something to play for here.
We expect the Roughriders to send out a weakened team, and the Blue Bombers can take advantage.
