Overview
The Saskatchewan Roughriders sit atop the West Division with a 10-2 record and are looking to maintain their dominant position when they host the struggling Montreal Alouettes. Saskatchewan has been impressive this season, averaging 18.4 points per game while allowing just 14.3 points against, giving them the best point differential in the CFL at +74.
Montreal arrives in Regina having lost five straight games and sits at 5-7 in the competitive East Division. The Alouettes are coming off a disappointing 25-9 loss to Hamilton and are looking to avoid their first six-game losing streak since 2018.
Key Players
Trevor Harris (QB) – The veteran quarterback has completed 232 of 322 passes for 3,153 yards and 19 touchdowns with 8 interceptions. Harris needs just one more touchdown pass to reach 200 for his career and is 9-5 all-time against his former Montreal team.
KeeSean Johnson (WR) – Tied for the league lead with 66 receptions for 908 yards and 3 touchdowns. Johnson is just 92 receiving yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season.
A.J. Ouellette (RB) – The workhorse back has carried the ball 169 times for 852 yards and 5 touchdowns while adding 24 catches for 183 yards. He is nine carries short of his career-high.
McLeod Bethel-Thompson (QB) – Returns as Montreal’s starting quarterback after missing time due to injury. He has completed 100 of 153 passes for 957 yards with 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions this season.
Tyler Snead (WR) – Montreal’s leading receiver with 58 catches for 763 yards and 3 touchdowns, providing a reliable target for the Alouettes’ passing attack.
Keys to the Game
Saskatchewan’s Secondary Advantage – With Montreal’s quarterback uncertainty, the Roughriders’ secondary led by league-leading interceptor Tevaughn Campbell (6 interceptions) has an opportunity to create turnovers and short fields for their offense.
Offensive Consistency for Saskatchewan – The Roughriders needed just one touchdown to beat Winnipeg last week, but they’ll need more offensive production against Montreal to take pressure off their defense.
Montreal’s Ground Game – Running back Travis Theis put up 70 yards against Hamilton and will be crucial for Montreal’s offensive success, especially with Saskatchewan being the only team yet to allow 1,000 rushing yards this season.
