Winnipeg Blue Bombers
The Blue Bombers (13-4) lead the CFL standings in the West Division. The team’s offense has been propelled by QB Zach Collaros, who has amassed 4,252 passing yards and a league-leading 33 touchdowns. However, backup Dru Brown will be the starting QB in this matchup. Key players to watch for the Blue Bombers are receivers Kenny Lawler and Drew Wolitarsky, as they are critical to the team’s playoff success.
Calgary Stampeders
On the other side, the Stampeders (6-11) have made their 18th consecutive playoff appearance. Their defense, led by Jonathan Moxey and Kobe Williams, is one of the league’s best against the pass.
