The Montreal Alouettes enter the East Division Final as the CFL's top team, finishing the regular season with a league-best 14-4 record and an impressive 9-0 home record. Led by Most Outstanding Player quarterback Davis Alexander who had 5,257 passing yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Montreal is looking to reach its third Grey Cup in four seasons.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers arrive as the crossover team after surviving the East Semifinal. Despite the difficult path, Winnipeg brings significant playoff experience and a championship pedigree that makes them a dangerous opponent. The Blue Bombers have won seven of their last eight playoff games, with Montreal accounting for their only loss during that stretch.

Winnipeg's biggest question heading into the game is the health of quarterback Zach Collaros, who is dealing with a rib injury and has been listed as a game-time decision. Dru Brown started in the East Semifinal against the Toronto Argonauts, leaving head coach Mike O'Shea's quarterback decision as one of the matchup's biggest storylines.

No crossover team has ever made it to the Grey Cup, and the Blue Bombers will look to make history while the Alouettes will look to defend their perfect home record on Saturday afternoon and protect their path to another Grey Cup.
