The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will look to rebound from a tough loss last week, as they host the Toronto Argonauts tonight at Investors Group Field.
Game Set-Up
The Bombers (1-1) led 10-9 at halftime last week before blowing up in the second half en route to the loss.
Despite their loss last week, the Bombers are still 11-4 in their last 15 games dating back to late July last year, while the Argonauts are 3-12, which includes their 2-1 start to the season this year.
Unfortunately for the Bombers, they're 11-26 at IGF all-time and have a losing record against the Argonauts there.
Tonight's game marks the third straight season that the Argonauts have started their season 2-1, but if last year says anything about the Argonauts, decent starts sometimes mean nothing as they finished at the bottom of the East Division with a 5-13 record.
Blue Bombers
The Bombers announced two roster changes from last week's loss. Linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox will replace Ian Wild, and Jackson Jeffcoat replaces Tristan Okpalaugo.
Matt Nichols is set to make his 16th straight start for the Bombers (11-4 in that time).
Justin Medlock has been on fire making 24 field goals in a row, which is a club record.
They also swept the Argonauts last year with 34-17, and 46-29 wins.
Argonauts
If the Argos win, Marc Trestman would move in to the CFL's Top 20 in all-time coaching wins with 62. The team is winners in six of their last 10 games against the Bombers, and are 6-2 when Ricky Ray starts.
Ray leads the league in passing, completing 89 of 127 attempts, equalling 1,199 yards.
