Looks like rain tonight in Ottawa, hope it doesn’t affect the play on the field

Time of possession:

TOP Lost Win
SSK 27.61 31.112
OTT 25.4 30.7

Ottawa has more attempts on passing and rushing and more yards on winning attempts:

SSK:
Rushing attempts are lower in lost games but the total yards are more on lost games.

So, allowing more attempts on rushing may help build the yards for SSK.

Ottawa lost to MTL and WPG. This is going to be a tough one anyway.

ROUGH RIDERS vs Roughriders. Game will be determined by how well the injury replacements play for Regina as many a new comer play in the CFL with its nuances, this will determine how they adjust or don’t adjust. Expecting Ottawa to win this game in the last start for Regina qb Shea Patterson as the oft injured Trevor Harris makes his return next game thereafter this battle.

The heavy rainfall warning for Ottawa is now going to happen after midnight. Good thing the Als game is on Saturday because it’s going to be heavy rainfall for Friday there.
