Winnipeg Bluebombers vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders Preview and Predictions 09-02-2018 in CFL

CFL Previews 30th August 2018 by Gracenote
Bluebombers vs. Roughriders Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/30/2018

The Saskatchewan Roughriders look to continue their dominance over the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Labour Day Classic on Sunday. The Roughriders have won 12 of the last 13 meetings on Labour Day, including a 38-24 victory last season, and can pull ahead of the Blue Bombers in the tight West Division standings with a win in the 54th edition of the holiday clash.

Saskatchewan has won two straight contests following a 24-21 victory against the BC Lions in Week 11, and are searching for their first three-game winning streak in nearly a year. Winnipeg is heading in the wrong direction after dropping a 39-26 decision to the Calgary Stampeders. The Blue Bombers have lost back-to-back games for the first time in 2018 while giving up an average margin of 41.5 points during their skid, and quarterback Matt Nichols has come under fire for his recent performances after failing to hit the 300-yard passing mark for the seventh straight time. "Of course I want to play better and I'm obviously not satisfied with this season so far," Nichols told reporters. "I have high expectations and those expectations on myself are high enough."

TV: 3 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN Plus

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (5-5): Nichols passed for 258 yards and a touchdown, but threw two interceptions - including a pick six late in the fourth quarter of the loss to Calgary. Slotback Weston Dressler, who has caught a pass in 120 consecutive games - tied for the seventh-longest streak in CFL history - is expected to play after missing the previous two contests with a lower-body injury. Andrew Harris, who leads the league in rushing yards (805), missed two days of practice with an upper-body injury and will be a game-time decision while defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat is likely to miss Sunday's clash with an undisclosed knock.

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (5-4): Zach Collaros threw for 215 yards and a touchdown in the win against BC as Saskatchewan pulled within two points of the second-place Edmonton Eskimos ahead of his first Labour Day Classic as a Roughrider. "Seeing signs around town I know it's a special game," Collaros told reporters. "It's always an amazing atmosphere up here but I guess it's really revved up for Labour Day." Defensive tackle Curt Maggitt, who played in nine games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2016, could make his first CFL start after Mic'hael Brooks missed practice with an undisclosed injury.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Saskatchewan DE Charleston Hughes has recorded a sack in seven straight games.

2. The Blue Bombers have won five of the last six overall meetings with the Roughriders.

3. Saskatchewan DB Nick Marshall has scored three touchdowns in his last two contests.

PREDICTION: Roughriders 27, Blue Bombers 24
