WHEN THE BOMBERS RUN
The Ticat front four is all new and is giving up 132 yards rushing per game; Bombers lead the CFL in rushing. You don’t need to be a math major to figure how this may play out tonight.
EDGE: BOMBERS
WHEN THE BOMBERS PASS
Juicy matchup here: the Bombers have yet to get their passing game firing and the Ticats’ remade defence features a number of new faces.
EDGE: EVEN
WHEN THE TICATS RUN
The Bombers have surrendered just 122 yards rushing in two games. And now they get Doug Brown back.
EDGE: BOMBERS
WHEN THE TICATS PASS
Quinton Porter was 19-for-24 in last week’s win over B.C., but it was for only 222 yards. We like what we’ve seen from the Bomber secondary.
EDGE: BOMBERS
SPECIAL TEAMS
Ticats’ ace kicker Nick Setta has been bothered by a wonky back and his numbers are down. But Hamilton seems to have uncovered a solid returner in Marquay McDaniel.
EDGE: TIGER-CATS
INTANGIBLES
Winnipeg is 8-2 in its last 10 against the Ticats. And while both squads looked vastly improved in Week 2, the Bombers are developing a ball-hawk defence that may soon be a CFL force… if it isn’t already.
EDGE: BOMBERS
