The Bombers (8-5) take on the Eskimos (6-7) for a West Division match-up.

Here are the three need-to-know facts heading into the game:

The Bombers swung a deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Wednesday, sending cornerback Johnny Adams east for the negotiation list rights to receiver Mekale McKay, cut earlier this month by the Indianapolis Colts. The team also added O-lineman John Kling to the practice roster and released four others: D-linemen Eric Martin and Erik Williams, receiver Lonnie Outlaw and linebacker Nick Temple. LB Ian Wild, DE Justin Cole and CB Terrence Frederick all draw into the starting lineup tomorrow night.

48-Hour Primer

Ed Tait wraps up the week and looks ahead to a match-up that could mean a real chance to put the Eskimos (6-7) in the rear-view mirror with a victory Friday. Not only would a win give the Bombers a six-point cushion on the Esks, it would also give them the season series if the playoff positioning came down to a tiebreaker.
