The Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue bombers face each other for the first time this season.
The Alouettes lead the East Division with a 9-1 record, while the Blue Bombers are 5-5 ranked 4th in the West Division.
The Alouettes will need to find ways to keep the Blue Bombers from dictating pace, while utilizing Davis Alexander as much as they can.
For Winnipeg, the formula starts with finding a way to disrupt Davis Alexander and prevent Montreal's offense from getting into an early rhythm.
The Blue Bombers will need to apply consistent pressure up front while limiting the big plays that have helped Alexander lead the CFL in passing yards.
Heading into the matchup, both teams will be looking to have strong offensive performances as both defenses have experienced their own struggles so far this season.
With two competitive teams on opposite sides of the ball, executing key moments could be what decides this game.
