Stampeders at Blue Bombers odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Blue Bombers 25, Stampeders 17
Money line
The Blue Bombers should get back on track following last week’s upset loss but it’s best to PASS on the expensive money line.
Bombers RB Andrew Harris (calf), the MVP of the 2019 Grey Cup, is questionable to make his season debut but WR Nic Demski (hip) was ruled out and WRs Drew Wolitarsky (thorax) and Rasheed Bailey (knee) are both questionable. The injuries would likely hamper Collaros and the Winnipeg passing attack and anything can happen in a low-scoring game.
Maier impressed last week but that was the rookie’s first CFL game. He’ll face a tougher test Sunday.
Against the spread
Back the BLUE BOMBERS -6.5 (-117) to win by 7 or more points. They have the advantage in the quarterback matchup and will in the ground attack if Harris is able to suit up for his season debut.
Over/Under
Bet the UNDER 44.5 (-120) with Maier likely to struggle against the reigning Grey Cup champs.
The Stamps put up just 29 points over their first two games of the season and caught Montreal by surprise last week. The Bombers have a week of film on Maier to prep for the Week 4 matchup.
