Edmonton Eskimos vs Saskatchewan Roughriders
Sat 7PM ET / 4PM PT on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5
Edmonton seeks to claim first in the West, so cashing in on a win during Calgary’s bye week is crucial. For Saskatchewan, the proverbial auditions for 2016 are in full swing.

Was going to say it looked like a better crowd than Winnipeg but then saw a shot of the stands! Hard to tell when the seats are green and the fans are too! :lol: One side does look to be fairly full though.
Well the Riders have nothing to play for aside from next year and pride but they are on the board first and making life difficult for Reilly and friends.
Riders are crushing the Eskimos 21-3 - Skookum :rockin:
But on the other hand may not be able to hang on for the victory - 21-10 Sask. leads
Go RIDERS! Although the EE are starting to catch up and have cut the lead to just 4 - Still I’m cheering for the Riders for no other reason than I like Crapigna the kicker who is a Mac grad!
The Eskimos are in a great position now. It's often said "what happens after Labour Day is what really counts." They lost on the holiday Monday but since have won 7 straight, including 2 over Calgary, and now play MTL at home and will wrap up 1st place with a victory. Then, with a bye in the season's final week, they won't play again until 21 days later, hosting the Western final.
Too long. Too easy to lose focus and develop a little rust. Coaching staff will have to try to prevent these things from happening and keeping them sharp.
