Legenadary Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant has a feeling about the team's match-up with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West Final. 

The two-time Grey Cup champion likes the way the Riders are playing entering Princess Auto Stadium aiming for a spot in the 111th Grey Cup. 

"Think the Riders can go into Winnipeg and win, 100 percent. I really like the way this team is playing, They're clicking on all cylinders. I think that they're setup to make an amazing run this year," Durant told the SportsCage.

"It wouldn't surprise me at all if they went into Winnipeg and dominated that game. I'm not sure Winnipeg is playing as good a football as the second half of the season says they are. I think the Riders are playing great football right now."

Saskatchewan has won five of the team's last six games including a 28-19 West Semi-Final victory over the B.C. Lions. After starting 0-4 and 2-6, the Blue Bombers won nine of the team's last 10 games on the way to earning first place in the West Division. 

The Roughriders travel to Winnipeg to take on the Bombers in the West Final on Saturday. Countdown to Kick-off begins with Justin Dunk and Wes Cates at 2:30 p.m. Dave Thomas and Luc Mullinder join at 4:30 p.m. with the kick-off to follow at 5:30 p.m. on the Co-operators Roughrider Radio Network.
