Key Player Matchups
Bo Levi Mitchell (HAM) vs. Winnipeg Secondary
Mitchell has thrown for 2,800+ yards this season. Winnipeg’s pass defense has been vulnerable, especially without Rose at full strength.
Brady Oliveira (WPG) vs. Hamilton Front Seven
Oliveira is averaging 5.2 yards per carry when healthy. Hamilton’s linebackers must contain him to force Streveler into passing downs.
Tim White (HAM) vs. Demerio Houston (WPG)
White’s speed stretches defenses. Houston, Winnipeg’s top cover corner, will be tasked with limiting explosive plays.
