Saskatchewan head out on the road for the second weekend in a row, looking to rebound from a defeat that dropped them to 6-3.
The defending champion Roughriders enjoyed a decent start to the season as they followed up a 31-27 win over the BC Lions with a 40-37 overtime success in Calgary.
They then bounced back from a 40-34 defeat to Toronto with wins against Ottawa, 27-22, and Hamilton, 38-7.
Saskatchewan failed to make it three-in-a-row again as they lost 36-34 to Edmonton, but they again responded immediately to a defeat by beating Edmonton 28-26 on the road and Ottawa 42-20 at home.

BC enter this matchup on their best run of the season so far, having reeled off three consecutive victories to improve to 4-5.
The Lions limped out of the blocks as they lost their first three games of the season, losing 31-27 in Saskatchewan and 41-27 at Hamilton before dropping the home opener to Calgary, 41-33.
They finally got off the mark at the start of July as they beat Edmonton 36-24, but their joy was short-lived as they lost the next two, falling 19-17 to the Elks and 26-12 to Toronto.
BC avoided a third straight loss as they downed Winnipeg 35-19 on the road, and that proved to be the start of this season-best run.
