The West is a logjam, and Winnipeg’s next four games are the real separator.

At 5-4, the Bombers trail Saskatchewan (6-2) and Edmonton (6-3), with B.C. (4-5) and Calgary (4-6) right behind. The upcoming stretch — Edmonton, Montreal, then Saskatchewan twice — is four games against the CFL’s top tier; even a 2-2 split keeps them alive, but 1-3 or worse drops them into the chasing pack.
