Blue Bombers, Stampeders put win streaks on the line in Saturday clash

Something's got to give.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers - winners of seven straight games - will travel to Calgary and meet the Stampeders, who are unbeaten since Week 1, on Saturday.

Blue Bombers quarterback Matt Nichols has been the catalyst for the streak, throwing for eight touchdowns to only one interception since taking over for Drew Willy.

The Stamps' offence has been similarly potent during their win streak, averaging nearly 39 points per game in their past five. Bo Levi Mitchell continues to dominate opposing defences, totalling 22 touchdowns with only six interceptions and nearly 4,000 yards through the air this season.

Calgary was the last team to beat the Bombers and have been the class of the league all season. Winnipeg will try to inch closer to the Stamps for first place in the West with a win Saturday.

The combined 16-game win streak between the two teams is the longest in CFL history.
