The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats are playing live on the CFL schedule on ESPN as the Canadian Football League picks up for Week 6 at Ron Joyce Stadium and the game starts up past 7 pm ET and has a live stream from WatchESPN online and has the Bombers looking to stay hot and they will have to try and shut down Ticats quarterback Dan LeFevour.
The game between the Blue Bombers and the Tiger-Cats should be a good one and Hamilton comes in looking to keep things going, as they won over Ottawa for their first victory of the season. The team is looking to avoid another loss and Winnipeg comes in with a three game road winning streak and that makes this an even tougher game overall.
The all-time matchups between the two teams are about even with Hamilton winning 50 and they come into the game having won five straight games against the team and the Bombers come in after winning big on the road against the BC Lions last week. The teams will play again in September and that game will be at Winnipeg and Marcellus Bowman will be a player to watch for this game, as he had 14 tackles in the last two games.
The Cats also get back linebacker Rico Murray and the team is also expecting a big game from running back CJ Gable, as he is coming in after having a huge game against the Redblacks with over 160 combined yards in the matchup. LeFevour had himself a game last week and he was the offensive star with 361 yards passing and 109 yards rushing and will be looking for more this week.
The Ticats are just 1-3 on the season and the come in after winning last week and now they have their first victory of the season and they are tied for the lead in the division. The east is the weak side right now in the league and they are 1-3 on the year and have two points and they have now allowed more points than they have scored and their one win came at home. The team plays better at home and they are hoping that comes into play on Thursday night, as they are winless on the road this season and need to take care of business at home.
The west division is where it's at this season and Winnipeg has been nasty on offense and they come in leading the league in scoring right now and they are looking to keep that up. The defense has been allowing a ton of points as well, but that's to be expected with the way they play and they are coming into the game after winning last week and the week before they had their undefeated start snapped. The team is tied with eight points for the lead with Edmonton and Calgary and now they are looking to get another win. BC and Saskatchewan are the bottom teams in the division for now and they have four points.
