The East Final venue flips Winnipeg’s regular-season split against Montreal

Winnipeg is 10-9 and Montreal is 14-4, and the two regular-season meetings were both won by the home team; now the Bombers must win at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. The Bombers just survived at BMO Field, but their 25-22 margin came with a three-quarter offensive stall and two Brown interceptions, so the road environment amplifies the margin for error against a 14-4 Alouettes team. Media will frame it as a rematch; the data says it’s a venue-dependent matchup.
