The Als are 5-1 over their last six games and are only two points back of the Toronto Argonauts for first place in the East Division.

Lions vs. Blue Bombers Prediction: CFL Week 21 Point Winnipeg has held a significant edge over BC going 20-7-1 against the spread in their last 28 games overall. The Blue Bombers opened as
head coach Rick Campbell, it doesn't really matter who's on the other side of the field. "You take a look at their roster, there's a whole bunch of really good football players and I know they're gonna play hard like they always do, " he said. "So we've just got to put our best foot forward and try and beat these guys. " Winnipeg's rejigged roster will see quarterback Dru Brown make his first CFL start, slotting in for star Zach Collaros. Several veteran offensive linemen will also get the night off, including Jermarcus Hardrick, Patrick Neufeld and Stanley Bryant. A need to rest players prompted the moves, said Blue Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea. "You're hampered by a (salary) cap and by the number of bodies you have available to you, so you can't switch everybody out, " he said.
The Blue Bombers cannot finish lower than second place in the West Division following last week’s win over Saskatchewan. They have now made the postseason for six consecutive years and will host a playoff game for the second consecutive year. The B. Lions (10-4) are 2-3 over their last five games but remain in control of their own destiny with four games left to play. If the team is able to run the table over the next month — including two games against Winnipeg — they would finish the season with a 14-4 record and host the West Final at BC Place Stadium. The Montreal Alouettes (7-7) can also clinch a home playoff berth with a win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Monday.
"Being out there, it's a little bit different. It's an emotional game and obviously you want to stay level headed the whole time. But there's also times to be spontaneous and have fun and celebrate and kind of ride with the emotions. " All of the Bombers' quarterbacks are athletic and the Lions will need to limit deep shots, no matter who's passing the ball, said defensive back Marcus Sayles. "They're being coached the same way, " he said. "We've just still got to come in, make sure he doesn't extend plays just like Collaros does, because he's learning from an experienced quarterback so he probably has something in his bag as well.

"And there's probably some guys playing that you may have liked to rest or they may have wanted to rest. "But, for the most part, these guys all love playing football and if they're able (to), they're going to be out there. " Though Brown is getting his first CFL start, the 25-year-old Oklahoma State product, has suited up in all 16 of Winnipeg's games this season and completed five of seven pass attempts for 127 yards. Prepping for Saturday's game isn't any different than any other week, he said. "I'm kind of a level-headed individual, I guess, " the second-year QB said.
