The combination of Winnipeg's highest scoring offence per game compared to the Ticats' second lowest scoring offence and most scored upon defence, two very good RBs in Harris and Flanders who are also excellent receivers, as well as a host of other good receivers for Nichols, who is leading the league in passing efficiency, gives Winnipeg a strong edge in this home game. On Hamilton's side, comes the desperation that comes from fighting for the last playoff side and the question of whether Alex Green can simulate his first CFL game performance.
