Week 19 in the CFL wraps up on Saturday night with a clash between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and B.C. Lions.
The Bombers have been the best team in the league all season and look great on both sides of the ball. It’s tough to factor that in the handicapping for this matchup, however, with little to nothing at stake for the Grey Cup favorites.
When the Bombers wrapped up first place early last year, not only did they completely rest some starters in their second last game of the regular season , but they also sat others after halftime in their season finale versus the Stampeders . It makes sense for the Bombers to rest several starters this week and play them in a limited role in their season finale to avoid a month of rust from setting in .Article content
So don’t be surprised if other key Winnipeg players sit out or play in a limited capacity on Saturday. On the other side, while the Lions have already secured a playoff spot with a 10-5 record, they still want that all-important home-field advantage against the Stampeders. They still have plenty to play for and are coming off a hard-fought 23-20 road loss to the Argos. Although B.C. has a couple of injuries at wide receiver, the Leos still have plenty of depth in that area that can make plays.
