It's back to on-field work for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who will be on the turf at Mosaic Stadium today for the first time since their 31-26 win over Ottawa last week. This week, the Riders will head to Hamilton to take on the Tiger-Cats. Plaza of Honour quarterback Darion Durant believes that this is a big opportunity for the green and white.
"I think there's blood in the water. I think Hamilton got a little bit bitten by a shark last week in Calgary, and this has left a little wound. I think the Riders will capitalize on that. I just think the Rider defence, they'll get after Hamilton and Bo Levi. I don't see much of a run game with this Hamilton team. And, you know, this is a perfect opportunity for the Riders to go out east and come back 3-0.”
Durant added, “I know I'm looking ahead, but to try to come back 3-0 after this East Coast swing would be a great thing going into a tough stretch of Western games. So I'm looking for the Riders to win. I think it'll be a little closer than some experts may say, but I think I'll go with a 28 to 24 Rider win out there in Hamilton this week."
