Elite defences, hot quarterback form, plus key roster shuffles drive the forecasts.

Overview

  • Saskatchewan enters 8-2 to host 6-4 Winnipeg, with the Roughriders fielding a top-tier defence across points allowed, yards, rush defence, sacks and interceptions.
  • Winnipeg reshapes its receiving group as Jerreth Sterns goes to the one-game injured list, Nic Demski is limited in practice, Kyran Moore signs, and Dalton Schoen is tracking toward a return.
  • Toronto visits Hamilton after a 52-34 outburst over BC, with Nick Arbuckle now leading the league in passing yards, while the Tiger-Cats come off a bye and own a strong Labour Day record in the rivalry.
  • Calgary hosts Edmonton behind a defence leading the CFL in fewest offensive points and big plays allowed, and the Stampeders have taken 10 of the last 12 Labour Day meetings in the series.
  • Edmonton rides a three-game win streak sparked by Cody Fajardo’s efficient stretch at quarterback, though those victories came against East teams and the Elks remain winless within the West.
