Saskatchewan Roughriders Preview

Trevor Harris has completed 288 of 400 passes for 3,756 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Harris’ top targets are KeeSean Johnson (60 catches, 839 yards, 5 TDs) and Samuel Emilus (53 catches, 755 yards, 6 TDs). A.J. Ouellette leads the run game with 204 carries for 1,057 yards and 7 touchdowns. This gives Saskatchewan steady yards on the ground and clear options in the pass game, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

On defense, Saskatchewan has held up well. The front creates pressure and short-yard stops, and the secondary has come up with takeaways at key times. If the Riders run the ball early and avoid long-yardage downs, Harris can attack single coverage and keep drives going.

Ottawa Redblacks Preview

QB Dru Brown has completed 185 of 254 passes (72.8%) for 2,248 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. The main targets are Eugene Lewis (63 catches, 897 yards, 5 TDs), Justin Hardy (68 catches, 880 yards, 7 TDs), and Bralon Addison (58 catches, 663 yards, 3 TDs). William Stanback has 107 carries for 510 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Ottawa’s defense has had trouble getting stops consistently all season. Offensively, when Brown has time and they finish drives with touchdowns, the lack of stops by the defense does not hurt. However, when protection slips or first downs are hard to come by, the offense gets one-dimensional and drives stall.

Saskatchewan Roughriders vs Ottawa Redblacks Prediction

Saskatchewan has a strong run game, multiple dangerous receivers, and a quarterback who has piled up yards all year. Ottawa can hit big plays through the air, but the Roughriders’ balanced attack will be the difference. Final Score Prediction: Saskatchewan Roughriders win and cover ATS 33-24.
